Having no recognized forward for an extended period of 5-10 games would be a disaster.
Royer is a very good/excellent MLS player. Hes a natural winger and is definitely not a natural striker. Hes been pushed to play as a 2nd striker and does so admirably.
As a target striker hed get eaten alive. Its just not his game. He works best in space and on counter attacks.
Sims has never scored at any level in his life. I have no idea why people would want to see him as a pure striker.
The New York Red Bulls previously kicked around Major League Soccer as the MetroStars with limited success. But after transforming under a new banner in 2005, the Red Bulls have become a force to be reckoned with in the Eastern Conference. The club has made leaps of progress since its previous incarnation and now has its focus on bringing the league title to New York.
