Over/Under on 1.5 Americans winding up in England in January (transfers & MLS free agents)
|
I say the U-20′s make it to the QF’s of the WC. They will qualify this time around.
Stu won’t be back until mid september’
Dempsey scores 13 goals in the prem this year.
I could see Conor Doyle signing with MLS. Does he really want to be another Mike Grella.
Henley in my book is Welsh. Therfore I will not comment on him.
I think Lichaj will make either RB or LB his own this season.
Guzan will be used in cup competitons until Given makes some horrible blunders. I say Guzan is Villa’s starter by Christmas.
I say Everton finishes hogher than Liverpool, adn Howard finishes one of the top GK’s again.
