Daily News | Jim Curtin defends the Union’s loan of Brandan Craig for the player and the team
Brandan Craig played just one game with the Union's first team between when he turned pro last year and his loan move to Austin this month.Union manager Jim Curtin spent his Thursday news conference answering most of the remaining questions about why the team. And as Curtin typically is, he was pretty direct.
When Austin came along to pitch a deal, it helped that manager Josh Wolff was a teammate of Curtin’s in Chicago back in the day. Curtin also happens to know the team’s new sporting director Rodolfo Borrell, who moved to Texas from Manchester City’s coaching staff last month.Austin plays a more possession-based style than the Union do, out of preference and some necessity in the sweltering Texas summer. That will suit Craig’s passing skills well.
Which brings us back to the one question Curtin knew he couldn’t fully answer Thursday: With just three centerbacks on the squad, what if giving up Craig for the rest of the year backfires?
