Beckerman? WTF?? He not only does not have the ball skill to play holding midfielder at the international level, but he's also too slow.

@dudesterlo

Ha! Derek has talked about how slow beckerman is many times over...

[Horrorsquadlive]

lmao Agudelo not playing well with the red bulls cuz HANS BACKE BRINGS HIM OFF THE BENCH!!! Agudelo blows Bunbury by

@Horrorsquadlive

Mr. Horror: Agudelo's played 1164 minutes this season over 20 games. That's 58 minutes a game on average. I don't care when he comes on--when he does, he needs to PRODUCE. I think that's what the guys are saying here.

"Take that you Jozy haters"

Lol, gotta admit, I was, and slightly still am a hater. Until he shows what he can do for USMNT like he's doing now for AZ, then i'll stop hatin'

[dwreck1971]

@AmandaWithLov3

That statement was kind of a joke directed at themselves--while I wouldn't describe them as haters, Derek especially has been pretty critical of Jozy's time in Europe and on the US Nats.

@dudesterlo ....yeah....and if he's holding mid, you'd need to have him be able to press forward for a shot once in a while under klingie's system, and i don't see him screaming a knuckle-ball to the upper window.... plus, i enjoy seeing our "bad-boy" jones holding mid....one day he's gonna' punch a mexican...

@agnelo000 Myiachi?

[legandrydirk]

@agnelo000 Arsenal have plenty of other players,that are better than him.Who are not going to the African cup.This guys not even a Arsenal player yet.If he ever does sign for them.

[agnelo000]

brek shea can make it to arsenal becuse gervinho is going to the african cup of nation

[legandrydirk]

@MMAmachinhead92 Who says he will get a game at those teams?Look at Eddie Johnston when he was at Fulham.He is a young guy.He has to prove himself first.Before he earns a move there.

[legandrydirk]

Shea has trained with Arsenal big deal.So did Steven Naismith when he was at Kilmarnock.They never signed him,much to Rangers relieve.He could get European football with us,and a game every week.If he is good enough.And earn a move to the EPL when he is ready.Like Reyna did when with us.Bocanegra and Edu are in our team every week.And Bedoya will be when he settles.Rangers are a huge club.

@InvincibleForeverNL im just finished dc united's academy and was just placed on their reserve team but still

a soccer player that brags is NOT a good soccer player

[MMAmachinhead92]

I think it all depends on which team Shea goes to it will depend his playing time. Maybe he should go to a team like Everon, Aston Villa or Fulham.
