"You know me well enough not to jump on that, but I do see Giles Barnes competing right away," Kreis said Tuesday during Orlando City's media day press conference. "Giles is a very exciting player. I would tell you that a couple of years ago I felt that he was easily, for me, one of the best players in the league. He's an attacking-gifted player, has great pace, great strength on the ball and typically makes very good decisions with it. These are the types of players we're looking to add to Orlando City, the type of players who are always comfortable on the ball but are also willing to work for the team."
