    The guy seems to have no issue quickly getting a shot off when the space opens up. I like that.

    edited since bshredder beat me to posting his own tweet.

    If he turns out to be decent, he's going to be their Giuseppe Rossi.

    On the contrary, this is the one that makes the most sense.

    Nah... Subotic

    Rossi never played for the USA and never wanted to. Boyd played for New Zealand quite a bit.

    Fair.

    I think a missing attacker inspires more emotion than a missing defender does though.

    Playing for US opens up a World Cup, something less likely with NZ.

    This could be incorrect considering it was in Turkish, but I read on Twitter that he picked up another yellow card yesterday and due to accumulation that was his last game of the season.

    That sounds right. I found this article about Bernard Mensah from earlier this season that mentions that the Turkish league gives out yellow card suspensions after the 4th. Mensah was suspended for the next game. Boyd picked up his fourth yellow in that last game, so his club season is over.

    “It was the coach, Gregg Berhalter, who contacted me,” Boyd said. “We sort of started the process of seeing if I was eligible...It surprised me. It's been my dream for the last few years to represent the U.S. and I believed that with hard work and good performances that it could be a possibility. Now it is a possibility - if I'm chosen. So, I was playing pretty well in Turkey and I was scoring goals. I'm very happy that FIFA accepted it and now I'm looking forward to making that dream come true, if that's possible. I've made the one-time switch and now I'm an American soccer player.”

    Just hit me. He's got a little Demps in him. He just tries shiite. No fear either going into challenges.

    Not surprisingly, I am hearing a bunch of the bigger Super Lig teams in Turkey are interested in Boyd

    I’m sure the bigger clubs are less of a problem but I once had a conversation with Bobby Boswell about playing in Turkey... it can be the wild west over there... getting paid in cash, not getting paid if you lose.. etc.. etc... I’m, as a general rule, wary of anyone playing there.

    To be fair, there are also plenty of horror stories regarding playing in Portugal and getting paid. And to date, Boyd has only played in Portugal and Turkey.

    But I agree, I think Boyd is good enough for better Euro leagues which don't have the problems you are referring to.

    For sure. Those types of problems are not limited to Turkey by any stretch of the imagination, though Turkey probably takes on the “wild west” feel more than others. (Like players packing and players getting robbed/paid in cash etc etc).

    It’s actually a consideration I think many feel to appreciate when they are talking MLS vs Europe. There is a lot to be said for living/working in the United States where your contract might not be the biggest but its going to be paid. It’s going to be paid correctly and regularly and if there is a problem you have the redress of the U.S. judicial system.
