So this rumour has made it from Twitter to the larger web.
Skysports.com understands a host of Premier League clubs are tracking American hot-shot Brek Shea.
The FC Dallas ace is regarded as one of the best young talents in America and is already an established member of Jurgen Klinsmann's USA side.
The likes of Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool have all been credited with an interest in the attacker who can play out wide or up front.
Liverpool and Manchester City are both believed to have watched Shea in action over the weekend as he created the only goal in the USA's 1-0 win over Honduras.
Shea is a really exciting player. He's a bit of a late bloomer and is just now finding his feet, so to speak. He was unplayable for the first half of the MLS season and looked an MVP candidate alongside Thierry Henry at the All-Star break. His performances have tailed off as the season has gone on, however.
For Neal's sake, I want him to go to Arsenal where he can play on the left of a front three. He would also give them some height up front, which would offer their attack a different dimension.
That being said, it wouldn't surprise me if he moved to Bolton or Fulham, teams that already have an American in place.

ReplyDeletehe problem with city and liverpool is they are stocked with midfielders and his playing time would be limited.
ReplyDeletechelsea could use him, but they have not developed a lot of talent for a while, so that is a questionable choice.
united have lots of midfielders too, but if shea went there, he would be trained well, at least. sir alex loves polishing young mobile attackers.
arsenal are a team that could use him, but they have not shown any interest. his direct style would compliment gervinho more than walcott and wenger knows how to train the youngsters too.
both Wenger & Ferguson know how to train & develop young player to become a Star or World Class Player..
ReplyDeleteI would not like to see him at either of the big 4. They are crowded in talent (sans Ars now) and he would likely not see regular action. Clubs like Bol, Ful, Tot, etc would be a better choice on my opinion.
ReplyDeleteNeal, apologies from St. Louis for eliminating your Phillies. Judge Smalls wins this round.
