Tidbits

Altidore to the Netherlands?


Jozy Altidore looks poised to start a new chapter in his young career, reportedly on the verge of joining Dutch side AZ Alkmaar. Hopefully he can get regular first team action and a chance to prove his so far untapped potential. It's obvious the multitude of loan deals wasn't doing him any good, so maybe being in this more permanent setting will help him keep his mind on his game.

Hargreaves to Whitecaps?

Vancouver have finally made their interest in former Manchester United midfielder and current free agent Owen Hargreaves official, but can a deal be done? The player has been posting youtube videos in an attempt to prove his fitness to potential suitors. Should Hargreaves join the Whitecaps he would immediately become their best midfield option and would help fill the gap left by recently departed Terry Dunfield.

Casey out for season.

Another big blow for MLS as another one of its marqee stars goes down following Javier Morales and David Ferreira, however they might make it back for the playoffs. Casey will not after tearing his Achilles tendon in a no contact situation against the Seattle Sounders at CenturyLink field on Saturday. The Rapids will now rely heavily on their other big star attacking play in Omar Cummings and young talent like Quincy Amarikwa and Macoumba Kandji.
