New season, new thread.
As we all know, there aren't too many heavy hitters left in Europe after quite a few top USMNT players signed with MLS over the last year or two. There is still a contingent of players abroad, though, headlined by Howard, Guzan, Bedoya, and Johnson. Other big or rising names are Cameron, Chandler, Yedlin, Brooks, Morales, Williams, and Johannsson.
I don't think there are many -- or any -- momentous transfers expected this summer. Some highlights from the last year and notes for the future:
* Fabian Johnson had a great second half of the season after a series of nagging injuries and help Gladbach get into the Champions League group stage
* Alfredo Morales played a central role in helping Ingolstadt win promotion to the Bundesliga for the first time. He signed an extension at the end of the season.
* Brad Guzan finished the season poorly and was replaced by Shay Given down the stretch. His future at Aston Villa is unclear. Given is definitely not a long-term answer, but will they bring in someone else?
* Johannsson struggled with injuries and didn't put up the same sort of numbers this season, but heated up at the end of the season and looked back to normal
* Bobby Wood played well, despite missing time with injury, after switching clubs in the winter. However, his club was relegated to the third tier...rumors say that he may be on the move back to the 2.BL.
* Cameron had an up and down year, but Stoke gave him an extension.
* Ventura Alvarado had a breakout year for America and won the CONCACAF Champions League
* Julian Green's loan to Hamburg was a disaster and it was a lost year for him.
* Yedlin hardly played at all at Spurs after joining in the winter and faces a hard road to playing time. A loan next year might be in the offing.
I'm more focused on the youth movement that I think is starting to bubble up through the contingent of players in academies across Europe. Most academy players don't make it and it's easy to overhype youth players based on club association. But we have a lot of guys over there right now and some of them look like pretty legitimate prospects to me.
Here are some prospects who are already playing first-team soccer or could soon:
Heading the line is Rubio Rubin, who started 21 games at Utrecht as (mostly) an 18 year old and who is now looking good with the U-20s in NZ. He's a second striker with good strength (despite not being very tall), quickness, decision-making, and technique. Expect to see more of him with the USMNT soon.
Then there's Emerson Hyndman, a box-to-box midfielder at Fulham. Hyndman is somewhat diminutive, but is such a clean passer and he reads the game well. He started the 13-14 season with the U18s and then breezed through the U21s. Last season, he made nine starts in the Championship in Fulham's chaotic first half of the season. Then he broke his collarbone in CONCACAF U20 qualifying in January and missed the rest of the season. He's back captaining the US U20s.
Gedion Zelalem is pretty well known by now. I was hesitant to get too excited about him until I could see him. He's looked very good with the U-20s, albeit against fairly weak opposition so far. Still, he's playing up a cycle against players 1-2 years older than him. Looks to be an excellent passer, calm on the ball, good technique, maintains possession well. We need to see more, but the early returns make him look pretty legit.
Andrija Novakovich. Big hulking center forward who moved from Reading's U18s to U21s to the first team last season, making his debut in the Championship, all in his first year at the club. Reading wouldn't release him for the U20 World Cup because they want him in preseason camp with the first team.
Desevio Payne made his first team debut for Groningen at right back and looks like a solid prospect so far based on his play with the U-20s. Hopefully he'll work his way deeper into the first team this coming year.
Cameron Carter-Vickers. He's one day too old for the U17 World Cup, but looks like a leader at the U20 level. He's even captained Tottenham's U21 team at times. He looks much more physically mature than his actual age, which sometimes worries me, but he's not just a physical beast. He reads the game well. It wouldn't hurt for him to improve on the ball a bit, though he's not exactly Jay DeMerit out there. His progression up the ladder relative to his age is impressive.
Christian Pulisic. This guy might just be the best US prospect around. An attacking midfielder who looked a cut above in CONCACAF U17 qualifiers. Since joining Borussia Dortmund, he's jumped straight into their U17 team and has received really good reviews from people who aren't prone to overexcitement. (He's only played five games, but has six goals and three assists). He'll move to BVB's U19s next year, but if he's really that good he could make a first team debut in the not-so-distant future. Really good prospects tend to skip the reserve team in Germany.
Mukwelle Akale. I've never seen him play. He's a tiny guy, 5'4" or so, but is apparently quite fast, very technical, with good vision. Those who have seen him swear by him. What makes me excited about him is that Villarreal is carrying him as a foreigner (he doesn't have the right passport to qualify as domestic in Spain). Clubs don't like burning foreigner spots on prospects unless they're really serious about them. I'm not sure whether Akale fits in on the wing or as a second forward and/or #10 type.
