Quincy Amarikwa Appreciation Thread

[CreepyBasementGuy]

How fun is Quincy to watch. He may not be an amazing player, but I just feel like he is really unappreciated. He is all heart and effort, never giving up mentality. Pours everything he has into the game.

He is in the top 3 in fouls drawn, and number one in penalties drawn. Those just come from his hustle, like rushing Hamid last game to force a turnover and set up the Fire for an attack last game.

But besides his play, he is a very funny guy with a great personality. He has his own little show(on the Chicago Fire Youtube channel) and every time I've seen him off the field doing stuff, the dude just enjoys life. Without him, IMO, this Fire team would be the most boring team to watch in the league.

I really like the guy, good luck Quincy.

Best and Worst Salary Deals in the East:

http://soccerly.com/article/soccerly/the-best-and-worst-value-for-money-in-the-eastern-conference

Among the best:

"Quincy Amarikwa (Chi) - $60k base, $60k guaranteed
Amarikwa certainly isn't a name that elicits too much excitement, but eight goals and five assists on $60,000 is great production for your money. Just look at the salaries of Chicago's strike force, with Robert Earnshaw on $206k and the loaned-out Juan Luis Anangono making $175k. The injured Mike Magee earned his money in 2013, but Patrick Nyarko is eating up another $284k on the bench."

Honorable Mention Among Worst Values:

"Bakary Soumare (Chicago Fire) - $330k base, $370 guaranteed
Soumare got caught up in the Peter Nowak saga, and didn't figure into John Hackworth's plans in Philadelphia. Shipped back to Chicago, he had a decent 2013, but has been inconsistent in 2014, falling in and out of form and the starting lineup. $370k seems like a lot of money, when you figure that Aurelien Collin is on $281k, and Bobby Boswell is on $189k."
