Wow that is awesome Zeppo!

He had a hell of a confederations cup. An absolute rock back there for the states. Glad to see him make a move to a such a world class club. Also thrilled to see a player from maryland make it to the big time .

He deserves it! - T.K.

Alexi Lalas: "A brilliant move" by Milan and Onyewu

When the news of Oguchi Onyewu's signing with Italian giants AC Milan broke, former US star Alexi Lalas smiled. The only American international to play in Serie A in the modern era, Lalas was pleased to see another compatriot finally get a chance in Italy’s top league and believes the Rossoneri’s decision to sign Onyewu was very intelligent.

"I think it’s incredibly smart move by AC Milan," Lalas told Goal.com. "Defense has obviously been a weakness for Milan and from an economic standpoint it was also obvious that they weren’t going to spend lavishly. So they had to be smart with their money. Onyewu isn’t a big name player, he’s relatively young, he’s inexpensive and as far as I’m concerned he’s as good a centerback as what they already have."

So who is next Zeppo? The ones I have been reading about are Clark, Davies, Altidore and Donovan. Clark is being pursued by Bocanegra's club Rennes....Davies being pursued by I believe Burnley or Birmingham (can't remember which one)....Altidore being pursued by Everton and Donovan supposedly leaving on a free transfer at the end of the season with an eye towards Spain. Which one makes the jump first? - T.K.

[Zeppo]

Yeah, T.K., I think that Clark could very well be headed to Europe this summer.

And it seems that Charlie Davies is very close to a move to the French 1st division. Let's see...

[Me]

Hopefully he will do well. His ball distribution is a bit weak for a Serie A defender, but it will be interesting to see how well he plays if given the chance.

Ricardo Clark should have left the MLS a long time ago. he had quite a bit of potential.

[Hortical]

He struggled with Newcastle and was an awkward fit during his brief uneventful stint in the EPL. Lets see how he performs with the biggest club in Italy.

[Lazie]

Hopefully he will do well. His ball distribution is a bit weak for a Serie A defender, but it will be interesting to see how well he plays if given the chance.

Ricardo Clark should have left the MLS a long time ago. he had quite a bit of potential.

He can take Senderos' spot.

[Me]

You right. He is certainly no worse than him.

[Karl]

Has made tremendous improvement...but still can be 'turned' easily! ...reminds me of being another battleship...needs acres of ground to slow and turn!

dis soun like a Lalas move, but with a likkle more footballing implications. Him cyaan eben carry di 'sowjah' boots inna defendah terms but dat is a diffran story.
