***Soccer Post*** Jermaine Jones; national team

[Fresno Bob]

Anybody follow the national team more closely than I do to know if Bradley is going to work hard to getting this guy in the mix? As poorly as our defenders have played recently, a bad *** defensive midfielder from the Bundesliga has to be a positive add. The guy is supposed to have a bit of an attitude and we could badly use that, I think.<a rel="nofollow" href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/soccer/10/20/jermain.jones.ap/index.html">

he's always hurt...

He was the hottest thing since sliced bread, but haven't heard much from him since he went to Europe.

Link.

Both are young, have shown flashes of real brilliance, and a lot of inconsistency. I think they both have a chance to develop into real good players, but with Adu especially I think he really needs to develop a better work ethic and take the game seriously.

 

[JimC1097]

Seems he was a little full on himself, of course signing pro at what 14 or 15 to MLS was probably not the best move....

when he used to play in frankfurt, and i still keep up with all the games every weekend. he's been injured some lately, but i think he'd definitely be a plus. very gritty and a solid player, not afraid to put in a tackle. decent going forward as well. i don't see any reason why he wouldn't play for us next year, and i'm be pumped to cheer him on.

and probably won't be integrated until we schedule a few friendlies in 2010. Definitely need him to help clog up the middle now that Gooch looks to be out of the world cup.
