Thursday at midnight can't come quick enough

I just want the stupid transfer window to be finished with. I am really tired of just reading about speculation and rumors. But while we are on the topic of speculation, there are still some players out there in interesting situations, if you are an American soccer fan.

Michael Bradley (see post below) has been on fire as of late scoring 15 goals in all competitions for Dutch side Heerenveen. Could he move to a more prominent league such as England, Spain or Italy? Hopefully.

Brad Guzan has been linked to Celtic and now Aston Villa. Personally I would like to see him go to Villa. He would add to the number of American netminders in the Premiership (he would be the 5th), he would continue to improve due to exposure to a high level of play and finally, I would be able to watch him play since FSC doesn't carry and Scottish league games.

Eddie Lewis has made several appearances for lowly Derby this season. Could the veteran U.S. international return stateside? Rumors have mentioned his name and the San Jose Earthquakes in the same sentence. Honestly, anyway in which he can leave the debacle that is Derby County sounds good to me. (Same goes with Feilhaber. Actually, it is more important that he moves on and logs those valuable playing minutes.)

Danny Szetela is supposedly on the move to Italian side Brescia. Once again, a necessary move to log those minutes.

I'd like to see Guzan go to Villa as well. They are looking strong this year. Plus, the teams' American ownership would definitely ease his transition/adaption to the club and culture.
