News: Drunken, Promiscuous College Roommate of Other MLS Teams' News Thread

great, another idiot looking to retard his development. i hope it's for the money because he's going to be seeing a lot of pine and it better be worth his while.

i really am getting tired of this "mediocre American goes to Europe to chase his dreams and fails miserably" story. it's almost as bad as the "American fails in Europe and continues to court failure by hanging on at FC Nevergoingtoplay in the Danish 2nd Division."

 

Looking at the last couple years of Transfers from MLS to X

Geoff Cameron to Stoke City
Tim Ream to Bolton Wanderes**
Marco Pappa to Heerenven
Robbie Finley to Nottingham Forrest
Edson Buddle to Ingolstadt
Chris Rolfe to Aalborg
Yura Movsisyan to Randers FC
Clark to Frankfurt
Stuart Holden to Bolton Wanderes
Sacha Klejstan to Anderlecht
Michael Parkhurt to Nordsjaelland
Kenny Cooper to 1860 Munich
Brad Guzan to Aston Villa
Eddie Johnson to Fulham
Jozy Altidore to Villareal
Maurice Edu to Rangers

I know I missed some. I tried to find the ones that were going to Europe to further their development. Bolded the ones that I think have "succeeded" however you define it and used ** as jury still out.

 

Am I imagining things when I think there was some sort of rift between Shea and Hyndman?

 

There seems to be a rift between Hyndman and everyone it just take time for him to realize it.

 

Damn those guys who go to the EPL just to be famous, play against some of the best in the world and make 10 times the money that could in the MLS. What is wrong with them?

Kamara to Norwich City until May. Canaries have an option to purchase.

I laugh at the guy as much as anyone, but this is a big blow to SKC's attack. He was The Guy for them for a lot of last season. Bunbury and Sapong are going to have to step up their game.

 

That sound of clapping and cheering you just heard was from the knees of every player in MLS.

The costliest pick in Superdraft history and all TFC gets out of it is a second-round pick. How's that for return on your investment?

 

I think Ream to Bolton was a terrible lost, especially since Bolton was relegated from the Premier, and Tim hasn't been an everyday player. Playing every other game in the Championship will not get him back on the US roster.

 

TFC - Giving me perspective on FO ineptness since 2007.

 

The thing is, Tim Ream sucks. I couldn't BELIEVE it when he went to England.

 

Well at least there's one positive thing to come of the situation.

 

Cameron and Gonzalez for the win!

 

He has been good over the past month. Seems to be getting it back. Lateral at worst.

 

But wasn't it a win-win for all involved? He got his big payday and coaches everywhere realized he was nothing but hype and took him off their radar.

 

Neither will continuing to be a shit player.

 

On another thread earlier this week, I was wondering whether San Jose might have some interest in tRR if they weren't able to get Dawkins back. Now that he is officially off to Villa (until May/June at the least), maybe time to give Doyle a call?

 

It seems like either they, the Galaxy, or Sigi up in Seattle have to have some interest in him; they are all places you'd think he wouldn't mind going either.

 

Definitely for all three. Although Sigi did just bring Neagle back for cover on the left, so I still think SJ would be the most likely of the three. Out wide they only have backups like Salinas and Garza right now, Marvin Chavez was injured recently and now with Dawkins that's a big hole for them.

 

You're probably right; looking over their roster I have no idea what we'd ask for. Do you have any thoughts? Maybe we'd just try to get some allocation bucks?

 

That's what I'd ask for, squirrel it away for the summer. They got some extra $ for the CCL, and you'd have to think they'll be scrambling to fill that LW spot now. Robbie for say, $100k? Sure why not?

Beckham to PSG.

 

I was thinking 100k in allocation money but feeling it would be less
