Nick Lund future first teamer?

I have kept an on and off eye on T2 all year and now finally made it to the game like many folks did tonight, but man Lund looks like a baller.

I know MLS Next is much much worse than actual MLS but this kid looks rock solid, played youth at a big German club before moving over here. I could see a call up for him in the future and would love to see him progress at the club!

He, Sam Joseph and a few others regularly train with the senior team so I'm sure they are being evaluated and would be called up if it makes sense.

Yes! Love Sam Joseph. He has pretty good feet and I like his distribution for the most part. I feel like if he doesn't get a first team contract with Timbers in the offseason, he might get an offer from another team. Keeper career trajectories are so weird though so, who knows!

I like Lund a lot, but he's 24 playing against younger guys. I hope he gets a shot but the context is important.

He was a beast tonight! I'd like to see him get a shot.

Him plus an injured Finn Surman vs Joel Watermen and Kamal Miller who wins

He seems a bit small in stature to be a true first team CB, but he’s awesome. And he looks like he talks a lot of shit to other players. Felt like a little blanco on the pitch tonight
