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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
