Rumor Mill & Signings

Here are the latest rumors (which inevitably will prove to be untrue) and some signings concerning Americans in the transfer window in Europe:

Supposedly Eddie Johnson is hoping to sign with Fulham as soon as a work permit can be secured. Manager Roy Hodgson is attending a hearing Wed to apply for said permit. We'll see...

Benny Feilhaber wants to continue to try his luck abroad. His agent has said that he does not currently have any interest in returning to MLS. I guess he thinks playing in Israel (I honestly don't know much about any Israeli teams) or the reserves for Derby "Automatic 3 points" County is more beneficial than being a major contributor in MLS...



Brad Guzan is officially on trial with Celtic after giving a solid performance against Sweden on Saturday. Although, £1 million does seem a bit low for a keeper with so much going for him...

Houston's lanky Nate Jacqua is reportedly seeking a contract in Europe...

Former United keeper Troy Perkins has signed with Norweigan club Valerenga...thats it.

Houston has also lost Ngwenya. He signed with Austrian side SK Austria. I really don't know much about the Austrian League either, but maybe he thinks he will get better exposure to European teams there, rather than with the Dynamo.
