Beyond Friedel and Howard, I'd not pay 'em with washers

Yeah OK. I'd kill to see Bolton pull of a counter attack like Charlie Davies and Donovan put together last night.

Plus, Charlie Davies would fit in well with our recent transfer policy!

Is he slow and incapable of passing to a team-mate?

Soon as they were pressured by Brazil at tempo, the USA team looked shite.

IF they think that was tough, wait till they were playing in the premiership.

Nowt in there that I'd bother with at this stage. Landon Donovan is their best attacking threat.....

Some of the SA players may be worth a look though!

Not too many teams in the world are going to look good when Brazil is piling on the pressure. Like I said though, I think we may have held out if Bradley had taken off a striker at HT. We were getting overrun on the wings which just screams "switch to 4-5-1."

Indeed though he was hailed as a tactical "genius" at half time for keeping "two strikers up".

I was surprised he even started with two up front. It was a very agressive formation. It worked out brilliantly at the beginning but you have to know when to play it safe.

Truth be said, I think Donovan would be a stellar signing for Bolton if the fee was affordable (as said, he's currently MLS' most popular homegrown player). He can play in a number of positions upfront, he's hardworking and knows where the goal is. Also, since yank football fans are over the moon after the Confed Cup, it would increase Bolton's profile there (a market is always a market).

We did have a pretty good market in America during Allardyce era from what I heard and saw, can't say now though. But yes its a huge market with lots of merchandise to tap into and also Donovan is definatley a good player. Seen him a lot and he's always seemed good. Would be worth a loan deal with a deal at the end of it.

NO NO NO. Donovan is gash. Not only is he gash, he's waaaaaay up his own arse, and was a catastrophic failure in Europe first time round.. At some point the USA will get nearer, as will Australia. At the moment though, not a single one of the septics would get in our side, and few, bar the keepers would get in any prem team.
