Which US players will benefit the most from this run?

Which guys do you think will be able to upgrade their clubs and/or contracts at the end of the World Cup?
Here are my picks: Cherundolo (more cash from Hannover), Demerit (already cut by Watford, moves to a mid-table EPL squad like Birmingham City), Bradley (maybe not this year, but I see him moving to a CL-quality club like Bremen or Bayern Munich), Donovan (Everton, hopefully where he will continue to kill it), Benny Feilhaber (back to a major league after a good year in Denmark), and Jozy (a nice loan deal with a solid team). Also, I think Bob moves on to club management in Europe, even though I am not sure about the openings right now.
Am I being too optimistic?
I think the main guy who hurt his stock was Onyewu.

Any chance ManU tries again with Tim Howard? (Van der Sar is getting up there in age)
Also, where is Boca these days?

Michael Bradley most of all. Dolo already extended with Hannover.

I think boca is at Rennes in France. I could see Howard go to arsenal. Almunia sucks.

AC Milan is already looking to find a good mid-table Serie A team to loan out Gooch.
Bradley will more than likely get a transfer this summer as Gladbach probably could use the quick cash.
I doubt Everton shells out over 20 million for Donovan that Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal will bid.
Jozy should get playing time at Villareal again as guys like Pires and Senna get too old for starters minutes.

Boca is with a good team in France, Stade Rennais. I think he'll stay with them since he is getting up there in age (31) and losing speed.

Bradley, Donovan for sure. You can see Jozy's contributions if you watch the whole game, but he needs to knock one in to get noticed. DeMerit is not EPL-caliber, but I could see him coming to the MLS. Gooch is playing for AC for free next year.

He offered to play for free, I doubt that whatever club Milan loans him out to, will not pay his wages.

Eh i disagree. I think he'd be a good fit in a lower EPL team like Wolves, Bolton, or Birmingham

Maybe not consistent starter minutes at mid/top tier clubs, but he is physical enough to play in the EPL, no doubt.

I hope Donovan goes somewhere where he doesn't get lost in the shuffle. As far Bradley, I hope bayern sells Gomez and puts the chump change toward a 7-10 million dollar for a Bradley bid.

He'll still be feeding the Edson Buddle Pain Train next year, by his own choice.
Baby Bradley is going to get paid.
Of course StuHawk is already in the EPL, and I'm pretty sure he's going to be a bit of a breakout player next year. After all, he was a professional counter-strike player.

I think Donovan realizes he's getting older and wants one last shot at Europe.

Holden is one guy I would have liked to see more of, but he just doesn't have a spot with the talent on the field. Not a terrible problem to have though.

He'll play a big role on our next group-winning WC team.
Get on the bandwagon now.

umm, no. mike bradley will be on a STUD team from here on out imo. he is an absolute rock and deserves to be playing on an arsenal, liverpool, etc. hes just THAT GOOD
quote:
Donovan (Everton, hopefully where he will continue to kill it),
im not sure everton can pay him, but rest assured he will be back overseas, and its going to have to be a rich club, bc you better believe the mls will drive that price up
quote:
nd Jozy (a nice loan deal with a solid team)
while maybe not this year, his best is yet to come, the kid is 20. he will be a fixture overseas soon
you are not being too optimistic. here is something to think about though
what happens if say we make the semis. it would blow the roof off this country, and would absolutely be a way for the mls to grow. this league would just be waiting with open arms for investors to run teams and pay out big bucks. a deep run and the mls might seriously take off
Posted on 6/23/10 at 8:04 pm to uway
Holden, Torres, Buddle, Findley, Jozy, hopefully Adu... the future looks bright.

Arsenal just offered a pretty big contract to Fulhams/Aussie GK. Schwerzer.
