U.S. midfielder Michael Bradley is heading to the English Premier League, sources said.

The 23-year-old will play the rest of the European season with Aston Villa on loan from his current club, struggling German side Borussia Moenchengladbach.

The loan to Aston Villa will end in the summer, leaving Bradley with a year on his current Gladbach contract at the start of the summer's more active transfer market.

The loan also gives Bradley -- who had a breakout performance with the U.S. team at the 2010 World Cup -- a new lease on his club season.

Good for him. We need more of this. The key to the growth of soccer in the US is not bring washed up superstars to the MLS, its sending our best players outside and getting them exposure on a bigger stage. I know he has been in Germany, but this is another level and its great for our young national teams development. Its kinda sad, I already cant wait for the next WC but I will have to for three more years.

Now we just need to get Jozy playing up to potential and Renken getting experience on the pitch. We are on our way boys!

I'll just pretend I didn't read this thread since it's about soccer.

Yeah, though soccer literally is the biggest sport world wide. I guess America's opinion of the sport is the only one that really matters though right?

Ya know its really funny to me. People will sit and bash soccer because its 'boring' or 'soft' but they wont say anything negative about the PBA (professional bowling association) or Billiards. Get off your high horse, you don't have to like soccer, but don't bash it and act like the sport sucks. Because truth be told, it doesn't. Ask the rest of the world... better yet, ask your great grandchildren as it will have become one of the most popular sports in the next 30 years.

Ya i agree w/ the post about getting our players into other leagues like epl and la liga. Aston Villa wil have a tough time with Man U this week, though.

I don't know.

This is a whole new team since Bent showed up. Even Robert f-ing Pires scored today!!!!!

United has been struggling as of late, down 2-0 to Blackpool, then down 1-0 to Southampton today before they came back and won both.

We were up 2-0 on them earlier in the year before we blew it and settled for the draw.

I would not be shocked one bit if we get 3 points on Tuesday.

But of course this is wishful thinking.

      If his seat was hot enough for him to be fired 6 games in then you should've just fired him when you made the decision to draft a QB #1 overall. I don't think you go from "this is definitely our guy" to "you're fired in 6 games". Seems like there would be had to have been doubts going in and that's not a recipe for success for a rookie QB.

      I like to use the analogy that a high draft pick QB is like a new supercar. Great to have one except too often, one forgets that they are high maintenance. A bad team secures their car under a cheap tent, puts regular gas in the tank, services it at Pep Boys, and then blames the car for not working properly and proceeds to get another one.  At the least, Ward getting sacked 25 times already is a massive red flag. If you can't protect your rookie QB, you do not put him out there. Otherwise, it's taking your supercar and immediately spinning it right into a tree. A few survive that rough of a start. Most do not.

      I don't think there's any one size fits all answer. I think you play the rookie when A) you think he's ready and B) you think there's a reasonable expectation that the overall situation provides him an opportunity to be successful, not necessarily in terms of wins and losses but just in terms of giving him a fighting chance with surrounding talent. If you rush either one it's probably not gonna be pretty.
