Via @MLS Report: Chelsea to loan Matt Miazga to Bundesliga's Eintracht Frankfurt LINK #MLS

Per the Frankfurter Neue Presse (via Stars & Stripes FC), Frankfurt's sporting director has denied the reports that Miazga will be joining the club on loan. Whether that's a negotiating tactic or Miazga will be playing somewhere else in 2016-17 remains to be seen.

Caleb Stanko starts his 2nd match in the Swiss Super League for Vaduz in what looks to be a 4-3-3 with Stanko at CM LINK

We could have 3 starting strikers in the Bundesliga this year.

pvilleguru, it may be time to consider adding 22 year old Colorado Rapids MF Marlon Hairston to the list of young American players. He is really beginning to show some ability. Winger, wears the #94 shirt, dreadlocks.

Start Watching At 2:10 For Run, Shot, Steal, Goal

Start Watching At 0:57 For Run, Shot, Speed, Steal, Goal

Start Watching At 0:28 For Flick, Run Into Space, Goal, Run, Cross, Assist

All of these highlights of his work are from the past month. Of course, everyone is welcome to watch the full four minute highlights. They are pretty good and offer some views of other players like Tim Howard and so forth. I just wanted to single out the parts relative to Hairston.

Source tells ESPN that "numerous clubs" are in for Miazga. It's up to him to choose the best fit for a loan:

24 called into a U-17 training camp. Five from Atlanta United, most of any club.

GOALKEEPERS (2): Alexander Budnik (Sockers FC; Arlington Heights, Ill.), Justin Garces (Kendall FC; Miami, Fla.)

DEFENDERS (8): Jake Arteaga (LA Galaxy; Glendora, Calif.), Carlos Asensio (Atlanta United; Roswell, Ga.), Kelee Cornfield-Saunders (LA Galaxy; San Marcos, Calif.), Kendall Edwards (Atlanta United; Atlanta, Ga.), Christopher Gloster (New York Red Bulls; Montclair, N.J.), Rayshaun McGann (Philadelphia Union; Royal Palm Beach, Fla.), Jose Rivera (FC Dallas; Frisco, Texas), Arturo Vasquez (FC Golden State; Mira Loma, Calif.)

MIDFIELDERS (8): George Acosta (Weston FC; Hollywood, Fla.), Taylor Booth (Real Salt Lake AZ; Eden, Utah), Christopher Durkin (D.C. United; Glen Allen, Va.), Blaine Ferri (Solar Chelsea SC; Southlake, Texas), Christopher Goslin (Atlanta United; Locust Grove, Ga.), James Sands (New York Soccer Club; Rye, N.Y.), Adrian Villegas (Portland Timbers; Hood River, Ore.), Akil Watts (IMG Academy; Fort Wayne, Ind.)

Weah, Sargent, and Carelton are some damn good forwards.
