Michael Bradley

Speculation on several Americans including Bradley

According to this article the French appear to be shopping for Americans.

 

Interesting to see that Everton wasn't even mentioned in a possible Bradley transfer.

 

The lunacy of MLS continues. Shame Brian doesn't live in LA, they'd have already worked out a deal for him.

 

Toronto knows they have Chicago over a barrel.

Besides, I think McBride will play in the Olympics and become a Fire player during the off season, when it will be much easier to make the deal.

Did anyone else catch the Fulham-Gooch connection!?!?!?

Setanta shows the French League, too, don't they?

 

Setanta shows the French Ligue. You'll be able to see Bocanegra. Rennes was on a number of times.

 

No, but after (if not during) the Olympics expect lots of debate leading up to the August deadline. He'll go somewhere, and do fine.

 

His form may have also declined towards the end of the season, and maybe teams got turned off. He got red carded in one of the last games of the season as well. He's not yet as stoic as his dad is. Maybe it is just the Olympics as well.

 

You'd think that teams would want to get him before the Olympics. I mean, if he has a strong tournament, I would imagine there'd be more competition for him and his fee could go up.

Of course, on the other hand, he could have a bad tournament and it could go south. Also, teams may not want to get a player only to not have him for the first few weeks.

Still, if he's not going anywhere now, I can't see him staying in the winter should he continue playing.

 

Here's where I've been getting some decent updates:

It appears that Monaco is in the lead, though Boro appears to have made a bid as well.

 

"winger Stuart Downing's shoes would be large ones to fill, but Bradley could be an adequate replacement for the England international."

don't agree with that quote, as in my opinion, Bradley currently wears a size 9 and Downing has about an 11 size foot.

but anyway, if he doesn't move in this window, he'll probably be worth more in the next window when a team needs cover for an injury or to boost the squad in the midst of a cup run. that is, if he continues his form.

 

Thanks for the heads up Don. Did some searching, one site said 'Boro but it looks more likely he's headed to Germany. . . I dont read Dutch

Good for him but I would've liked to watch him play in the EPL.

Also, you are right. Gooch isnt in the line-up today for Standard.

 

Bradley signs with Borussia Monchengladbach!

Is this the only team we did not hear associated with Bradley over the summer?

 

Hmm... hope they know he's no Kasey Keller.

The Munich GladBags... what I think of everytime i see or hear the name.

{Yeah, I know, but I think my my blood sugar's low}

 

Sorry for the misinformation. Shouldnt have trusted some random blogger.

Congrats to Bradley. One article implied his dad advised him to take an intermediate step before EPL.
