MLS flavors of the week: 2012 Edition [MLS R's]

Our GAM, EJ, is going to make the camp.

He played an amazing game against Guatemala if I'm remembering correctly.

 

Antigua and Barbuda. I think he also played fine vs. Guatemala, but much better vs. Antigua

 

Zusi to train at West Ham before reporting for USMNT camp

Brian Sciaretta just retweeted someone that said Everton are also in talks for Juan Agudelo. As an Evertonian, I'd be excited by that!

 

That would be much better than going to Celtic.

 

Not if he actually wants to play.

 

He'd get better games in MLS (apart from the 2+ CL games per year) with Celtic. There's no reason he couldn't play at Everton. I don't think he'd walk in and start, but there's no reason he couldn't see playing time.

 

He would definitely see playing time. We are thin at Everton. He would not be a starter, but Everton is too thin to sit someone out. Except Ross Barkley - but that's a long story.

One position especially thin? Forward. Which is probably why he's being considered.

 

Nigel Reo-Coker?? http://www.prostamerika.com/2013/01/17/timbers-lining-up-klinsmanns-favourite/76455

I have my doubts that he would actually ever be eligible.

 

the hell did I just read?

 

Wow, is that site just plain terrible?

 

fredy adu just moved to bursaspor

 

What did I just read....

 

Taylor Twellman reporting an upcoming bid for Brek Shea from an EPL team - $3M+, and potentially a position at LB.

 

The only part that is believable is the Red Bull part because Houllier choose him over some other midfield players who are quite a lot better, especially now.

 

And it's Stoke. Could we possibly see Cameron + Shea manning the backline of Stoke....together? Wow. By the way, Pulis, do you like Americans much?

 

The Shin Guardian ‏@shinguardian
Don't know if went around this morning, but Scottish rags reporting Celtic had an offer for Agudelo rejected by MisChivas USA.

 

Yup.........but:

http://www1.skysports.com/football/...s-bid-for-Juan-Agudelo-seriously-says-manager

He told the Daily Record: "My sporting director has told me the offer from Celtic is not a serious one.

Just like Celtic did with Shalrie Joseph and Sacha Kljestan, they submitted a lowball offer hoping MLS would just give its players away.

 

they offer 1M for Shalrie when he was (arguably) the best player in MLS

 

yeah, thats some shennanigans on Celtic there. That might get them Dom Cervi

 

We should be honored they are just offering right?

 

DeLeon called up for T&T?

http://guardian.co.tt/sport/2013-01-26/de-leon-gets-call-tt-friendly-against-peru

 

uh oh......we gotta fix that situation asap.

 

Hmm.
Sux if he chooses them. Wanted to see him play for us in the Gold Cup and now he may play for T&T instead.

BTW Looks like T&T is taking the Gold Cup seriously. Some interesting Euro names called into camp for this friendly.
