3 outside free agents Gotham should take a look at:
Amira Ali: a player that fits the Gotham mold. A player that can play outside or centrally in a front three. Can also create magic by taking on players 1v1. Has somewhat underperformed in a underperforming team. But could have a Ella Stevens ascendance in the right system. Also local product from Vorhees, NJ and played collegiately at Rutgers.
Tatum Milazzo: Gotham could lose Sam Hiatt, Mandy Freeman, and possibly Maitane Lopez in free agency. Leaving Gotham very thin at the back line. Milazzo, like Stevens could make the move from Chicago and raise their profile. Can play centrally or at the outside back positions.
Maya Doms: Maya is a talented midfielder out of Stanford who never got going at Bay who didn't rotate a lot in the midfield. An ankle injury led to get slow start. At Gotham, she would get minutes to develop and hopefully the youth national team player can get back on track.
