kkr Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Pleased he has been brought back. Hopefully we can move Given on now and let Brad start, he was the much better keeper last year imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SikhInTrinity Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 That's crazy only one reason I can think of this he's been refused a permit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hmm Im not sure how much i believe this, surely if it was true it would have got more attention in the English media maybe even a mention on the os? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewdat Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 That article says that it was announced on Tuesday, July 23... which it wasn't, since Tuesday was the 24th; and if it had been announced then it would be available at multiple outlets instead of one random one. Plus anyone can write for Bleacher Report. Not buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 That's crazy only one reason I can think of this he's been refused a permit! This is the only reasonable explanation for the loan deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I don't know if the Bleacher Report is anything more than a fan site but it is rather strange that this is the only place reporting it. The WP issue is an interesting theory, considering the fact that he has barely played in 3 years and has not had too many USA caps in that time either I'd expect. On Tuesday, July 23, 2012, while on a tour of the U.S. with Aston Villa (and on the same day he played in a friendly match against the Portland Timbers), it was announced that Brad Guzan had signed a six-month loan deal with Chivas USA. The deal will keep the American keeper with the "goats" through the end of the MLS season. Interestingly enough, he will now be on the same team as fellow American keeper and one of the top keepers in MLS, Dan Kennedy. It will be interesting to see if there will be an open competition between the two or if one is chosen as starter for the rest of the season. It would be shocking, however, if Guzan were to go on loan just to be a No. 2 behind Kennedy. Brad will miss the first half of Villa's Premier League campaign and was in the middle of a competition for the goalkeeping post with Irish international Shay Given, a race manager Paul Lambert had declared wide open. All in all, it will be interesting to see how things work out and if Guzan could even end up with the red and white half of Los Angeles permanently.

LockStockVilla Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 This story is total rubbish...as for the work permit, I do not think he would have been able to train/play in the first place if he did not have one...nothing to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 LockStockVilla, he can play as it was in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 The thing is though that the crux of any deal with an English club is that you will be playing for that English club in England, so realistically before any deal is finalized you would have that permit/know your going to get it. But anyways, I do not want to turn this thread into a boring conversation about work permits, just nothing about that Guzan story would make sense imo.

FamousHolteUnion Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Bizarre. So now we need another keeper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetakedizzle Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Literally anyone can submit an article for Bleacher Report. Taking what they say as truth is pretty much the same as taking @ITK_LOL_ITK on Twitter as truth. Dan from AVFCCentral did some work checking on this and it looks like it was an assumption from Wikipedia. Lastly I think Dan Kennedy was pretty central in the MLS All Stars winning last night so loaning Brad out to a club who have no need for a keeper would be ridiculous. This is nonsense and just some clown assuming a story is right based on Wiki research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas_Mike Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 The MLS sesason is over with in November so a 6 month loan is complete load of tosh. Brad would be sitting doing nothing for 2 months. If that part doesn't make sense then all of it can be crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 This sounds like utter nonsense... Why on earth would we build Brad up as competing for the 1st team jersey & then loan him out allowing Given to steal a march on him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Mat Kendrick @MatKendrick I don't think Brad Guzan was on the flight home. But I'm told there's no truth in talk of him going on loan to Chivas or anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
