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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      The problem is if he leaves, all of the Bryce fanboys will use it as an excuse for any regression or lack of progress that Bryce shows. Despite having an expensive OL and 2 first round picks at WR. I really would like to see the real Bryce this year before the 5th year option next spring.

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
