While everyone has been hinting at a possible loan move south of the border (Club America?), Omar Gonzalez is actually headed to Germany until the middle of February on a loan deal with Nurnberg. Gonzalez will get the chance to play with Timothy Chandler and could make his debut on January 21 against Hertha Berlin once the German Bundesliga returns from its winter break.
Staying in Germany, Jermaine Jones has been banned for eight weeks by the German Football Federation after his foot stomp of Marco Reus’ injured foot in the German Cup.
Jonathan Borrajo, who played with Norwegian side Ham-Kam this past season, is headed back to the US to play for the New York Red Bulls.
And according to various reports, French club Sochaux are making a run at Maurice Edu.

I like the idea of Omar going to Nurnberg…Work on chemistry with Chandler.
Nice move for Gonzo. Here’s hoping he makes the most of it.
And of course after I post this, I read that Gonzalez had a collision with Chandler in the first practice and injured his knee.

Doesn’t look to be serious, according to people who can read German better than me (or Google translate), but it knocked him out of practice.
I think it would be funny to plug it into Google translator.
Nevermind, I did it:
