Right now, i don't think you can bench Grella. we'll need Veron when we get into the late season since our schedule is compressed there. Start Veron when someone up front needs a rest. I think he could also cover for BWP when he needs a break.
For general play though, i think what Veron give you coming on at the 65-70 minute mark is a LOT more dangerous than what Grella will give you off the bench. Veron's speed is nasty, and against tired legs late in the game it's even better.

Veron probably isn't match fit enough yet to start. Expect him to serve the super-sub role for the time-being.

He thinks he's match fit.

What was Veron's fitness situation before coming here? Did he actually have much time off since the end of the last Argentine season?

Yes he did. Also he wasn't starting there.

I feel like I'm in the minority,
You are.

Minus a questionable performance against the Fire, Grella has been really good. I don't think you can make a change like that right now.

I'm curious what he would bring, but not curious enough to bench a guy that has earned the right to start (and produced results) for a guy who just got here. Plus we are the hottest team in the league, there is literally no reason to mix it up. If you had the recipe to Dr. Pepper would you add a 24th ingredient because you think it might make it better despite the fact it's already proven to sell?

Grella starts. Veron hasn't shown enough, yet. Besides, he was a sub prior to coming here. He's likely more productive off the bench...

I totally understand the point of view McS, but the combination of Grella playing well, getting on the score sheet, the team getting results, and the added pressure to perform knowing that someone is on his heels, is enough to keep him in his role. I'm sure Veron would be able to perform as well as Grella after a few games of playing 75-90 minutes, but I don't think you change it up just because somebody has a DP tag. Again, WE'RE GETTING RESULTS! Plus, at this point in the season, I'd argue that the players on the field know what to expect from Grella and vice versa.
This may be a stretch, but dare I liken it to Petke getting results, yet still getting fired for a coach that is doing at least as good a job as he was?
To Pebble^, I doubt Veron rides the bench as a super sub moving forward into the next year or two. We hopefully wouldn't have given him a DP tag to stay on the bench (McS's point in a nutshell)

Someone needs to start instead Felipe.
Unless I am missing out some deep tactical mastermind behind his presence, but I really sometime dont understand his purpose and what he does on the field.
Id start Veron or SWP and move Sam in the center in #10 position.
