AG, heres my opinion of seeing him in MLS and with MNT (Mens national Team):
He is a very smooth player, technically sound, can dribble with close control, shoots with power and accuracy, Fit as a fiddle as well as explosive speed. Makes good decisions, and for me on the counter attack, is probably the most dynamic player the MLS has. His best position for me is a 10 where he has license to roam and find pockets of space, or just has the freedom to 'get himself on the ball'.
THe two biggest concerns i would have are 1.) can he handle the tempo and physicality of the english game, this is the biggest difference to MLS for me, you have to play quicker, think quicker and execute quciker, this will be a HUGE part of his success/faliure. Again i think thats why Evetong would have to emply him as a 10 to get the best out of him, becasue he can then have freedom to roam, although he is not a creator or a crafty player. 2.) Temperament, hes a California lad i think, and is very laid back, everything i had heard from him since he came back from Germany was that he was not that arsed about coming back over here and trying his hand again. Thatas why this surprised me a little. However he must know about Moyes reputation for demanding nothing less than 100% from his players and must be prepared to battle and grind. I think watching hmi will be very interesting and could be a astute signing if he can adapt quickly.
