    I think that Anderlecht probably won't be sellers this transfer window, seeing as they really think that they can maybe get to the second round of the Champions League. Basically, they are probably expecting this year to be their "peak year", and they probably won't even let Boussoufa go, unless if they get at least 15 million euros for him. If anything, they are looking at buying a young talent in Kevin De Bruyne, a similar player to Kljestan. Jacobs does like to rotate his forward line around (but not the midfield), so maybe he gets games in at the flanks. I think if Kljestan does break through, it'll be the season after. He may even get loaned to a team like Roda JC (a team Anderlecht likes to loan to) this year to get him games.

    No kidding. It's not like he's going to play for FC Mogadishu -- which some people here would prefer, apparently.

    I wish him the best of luck.

    No, it's not. That's what we're trying to tell you. It doesn't open until July 1.

    MLS is losing its "virtuoso"


    You must not like eating and drinking much. With something like 800 seemingly great beers, I've never found the country boring.

    Assuming he actually gets PT, of course. Good for him for the move because I'm sure the money will be better. Just don't be sure that the move will work out best for him playing at a higher level.

    Judging by the utter lack of creativity last night, Chivas is in a world of hurt without Kljestan. They have some talent but Sasha was the conductor. Vazques is going to have to work overtime to save this season.

    Sacha Kljestan was showing tons of potential a year and a half ago. He has stagnated. Fortunately, he is at a stage in his career where his game can still improve. This is the perfect challenge for him. This could be great for his career both at the club and the USMNT level. I wish him the best of luck.

    Re: REPORT: Sacha Kljestan Agrees Move To Anderlecht

    I agree. I think this is a very good move for Kljestan and this could be the kind of league where his flair can thrive. When Sacha is "on" he is a very dangerous player... it seems like he lost some momentum after he didn't get his Celtic transfer. Maybe he lost motivation, I don't know. But he can do some very nice things and I for one am going to be happy to see him get a good opportunity at a good club. Having to battle for a spot may also be good for him.

    It's an English thing, that there has never been a great Belgian (or that Belgium is dull). Obviously it doesn't hold up under closer inspection. Of course, the country barely holds together under closer inspection.

    With Europe you never know, didn't Landon Donovan fail twice at Leverkusen?

    The German league is hard on Americans, His chances would have been better in EPL.

    I'd like them better if the Blue Bull sponsored them.

    Backwards. It is fair to say at this point that the German League twice failed Donovan.

    all i can say is good luck chivas...
    last saturday in harrison they were the worst team i've seen in a long time.
    just think that kljestan is replaced in midfield by second-year man ben zemanski.
    i also think braun can't play soccer and chijindu is better, but braun (who chest-trapped a ball with his chin, to general laughter) gets the playing time.
    to be fair they have a lot of young guys and maybe over time will improve. but right now the team (the franchise) look pretty bad.

    and good luck to kljestan, of course. i've always liked him.

    Something like 5 years ago Michael Bradley had a trial at Anderlecht before he signed with Heerenveen. Anderlecht easily could have had 2 yanks now.
