From the USMNT perspective, I'd prefer he not go on loan nor get sold to the EPL. I want as little wear and tear on him as possible between now and 2014. He's basically played the past 2 years straight, and looks heavy-legged and exhausted. Let him rest. Couple other thoughts: -Wayne Rooney is an idiot. An absolute jackass. I'm still stunned he released a statement himself as opposed to just letting his people do the talking. Its a long time til January, but I hope Sir Alex sells him then instead of letting it fester. Also, Everton included a sell-on clause of 25% after $25m, so a Rooney sale would potentially impact any chance Moyes moves on LD. -I've been watching a lot of MLS lately. Chris Wondolowski is a very, very interesting player. He's scoring a ton of goals, is 2 years younger than Buddle at 27, and has excellent, excellent technique. His footwork in the 18 is no-ish great. He's a guy I want to see at the next level to see if he can contribute.
