Even if relegated, it is better than League 1 where Norwich is headed.

lol yeah… I was thinking of this and the Toronto rumor and pretty quickly decided:

Norwich < Toronto < Burnley

Glad he's got some options.

Awesome for Chris and I starred it, thanks for sharing…

But man… I can't believe all these pundits that want our stars to come back to MLS.

I (perhaps unrealistically) want MLS to be good enough someday that our best guys don't have to leave, but it's madness to want guys in their prime to come back right now.

I didn't watch beyond the announcement. Who was calling for him to come to the MLS?

The main dude. Asked him when he was gonna come back to MLS and in all seriousness acted like it would be awesome.

To be fair McAfee is far from a soccer pundit, I'd doubt he's got a very nuanced understanding of MLS as it relates to the world game.

Yeah you're right. It just triggered me after all the dummies speculating about McKinnie maybe going to MLS.

I think Johnny and Gio are polar opposites. Great at club/Country and suck at Club/country.

He had a great u20 WC.

I hope he gets some minutes with Parma.

Not sure if it's still available, but on Tim Ream's old podcast he interviewed him a few years ago. He had some really cool things to say about Messi and playing with him at 18.

I was gonna say the opposite… dude is getting a USSF-paid vacation to go watch soccer.

They don't need to see Jedi or Aaronson. They ought to know everything they need to know by now.

This is gonna be a stupid career move for him.

If it reading between the lines, his SO veto'd Germany and now wants to come back to NA.

P___y is still undefeated. I'd go ahead and scratch Sargent off potential WC roster, too. This won't play well with Pochettino - Argentines don't put anything before soccer, even that.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

I've been a huge fan of his since I saw him dominate in two youth world cups in the same year.

At this point, I'll root for him but I don't expect him to make a signifigant contribution to the USMNT.

I have been, too, but if that between the lines stuff is correct, just makes me shake my head in disbelief. Option 1: Stay in Europe, play better comp, get better coaching, see how far you can develop Option 2: Come back to MLS to play in Toronto, against pretty average comp with inferior coaching to Europe, potentially stagnating further development. Because your chick wants to be in North America. FML

Gonna be interesting to see if Juve finally renew McKennie next week. Supposedly he would still prefer to stay, and supposedly the coach wants him, but evidently Juve's finances suck and McKennie is getting bolder with his salary demands.

I can't find it now, but I read something today saying 2 other clubs in Italy want him as well as a "top club" elsewhere in Europe (and the article confirmed what we already knew - he's not interested in MLS).

Looks like Freeman is joining Villarreal immediately. I'm not sure that's a wise move before the WC as they sit 4th in La Liga. Hopefully he'll find minutes.

Quote:

LaLiga side Villarreal is finalizing the acquisition of United States and Orlando City defender Alex Freeman for a transfer fee of around $4 million with incentives possibly increasing the amount to $6.5 million, a source with knowledge of the deal told ESPN.

Yeah I was gonna say similar. If he's got this opportunity now, I think it's a great move… let the World Cup worry about itself. He's 21 and will absolutely get another shot if he's making the move to P5 Europe.

Also… why am I just now discovering that his dad was NFL player Antonio Freeman?

Guess you didn't watch any of the recent USMNT matches?

I'm just worried he's going to sit on the bench and not get playing time the rest of La Liga and stunt his growth. Seen that movie way too many times before.

Nothing worthwhile has never come without risk.

He'll be a better player fighting to earn his spot, even if he doesn't earn it.
