Looks pretty good, I have a friend who lives in Liège and supports Standard Liège, he has 5 months left on his contract and they apparently willing to let him go £300k what you think. Check him on the below link!

i think hed do a job for us, he had a lot of pace.
might be wrong but wasnt he a bit of a lightweight, if he was that mighta been why big sam axed him
Being lightweight would be something that can be worked on, especially with Roeder's interest on players having presence and muscle in this division. Has a fairly good pedigree so yeah I think he could do a job in this league from what I've seen. Maybe he'll be in the squad on the 28th vs England so we can see if Roeder takes a trip to watch the game!

If u look about in the Premiership at the foriegn talent, its usually players from a few select foriegn countries that tend to do better here then others. eg: Italians seem to struggle wheras Brazilians seem to adapt well.
I don't think communication will be a problem with him being American!!
Also the yanks tend to adapt well to the English game.

Hmmm topical!!
He wont come in a million years.
The club wouldnt do that to the people on Canary Call.

He was relatively young, in a new team, new higher cass league and as such failed to fulfill his expectations. The guy is a big strong fella (Chris Samba-ish), good technically and as mentioned decent pace, he would certainly fit the bill as an exciting signing.
Interesting point that, maybe Samba wouldn't have been that good if newcastle had got him then, and maybe 'the gooch' would have been good at blackburn. I dunno if he'd wanna come ply his trade in the championship, or even england again though, but then u never know.
Going on the point above tho, if he needs someone mentally tough to play alongside, i'm not sure he'd be helped at us, i get a similar vibe with shackell.
Di Canio? Carbone? Cudicini? some people just chat cr*p for the sake of it im sure. Cos that Kleberson was great werent he mate?
