		With all of the talk of Eddie being shipped here and there and other screams from Metroland for a quality striker, you tend to wonder why Gaven shouldn't be simply placed up front and given a chance to bag his fair share of goals.
		Eddie has played the striker role for the U-17's and U-20's, all be it sparingly, and even for Metro.
		Gaven will score goals, just because he finds himself to be in the position to be a goal, but Gaven is made to be a runner with the ball through the midfield.

	Eddie Gaven - Donovan's backup? [Mobile] - BigSoccer
		Eddie had a pretty good game today, and he is obviously very skilled and good on the ball, but having seen him over 180 minutes in MLS now, there is no way he is ready to play at the national team level right now.
		Gaven, as a midfielder who plays very high up the field, is not going to see the number of touches he saw in the 1st half.
		Eddie's plies his trade in the same league as many MNT players, and is often among the best players on the pitch.

		While Gaven's versatility will come in handy in the future, the Crew need him to fill in at striker while rookies Jason Garey, who is recovering from injury, Kei Kamara become accustomed to the level of play in MLS.
		The feeling is certainly mutual after Gaven has heard of this rumored swap for much of the preseason.

		Gaven, 19, finished with a career-high eight goals to go with four assists last season despite the struggles, but he became expendable after new coach Mo Johnston said that the club would employ a 3-5-2 formation.
		Gaven has experience as a wing midfielder, but is not an ideal fit on the wing in a 3-5-2.
		Gaven also is capable of playing an attacking midfield role but that isn't an option with the Metros with the presence of Amado Guevara and Youri Djorkaeff.
