no. broken down Tyrone Marshall is better than Ty Harden, who has great attitude and heart, but that's about it
Yes, I cheered for a player returning from injury, as I would for any player. There was no shiver though.
I liked Avila's game, when he first got drafted by Dallas. But here we are, 6 years later, and he had a hard time holding down a starting spot for Toronto of all teams. He's never started more than half a season, never scored more than a goal in a season, and his most assists in a year is 3. For a guy who just turned 25, there's not a whole lot of progress, so the best we can hope is that his being reunited with Oscar somehow brings out something more in him. Personally, I don't expect much more from him than a bench role, if we do sign him.
Hill or Avila? Avila is listed as mid, so yep. Hill in the past was labeled a forward, but the Rapids list him as mid, and I believe Pareja was quoted as saying he thinks Kamani's best position is attacking mid, which apparently is Avila's best position. So, I think it is safe to say either is a midfielder to answer your question. They are just the attacking variety.
