    LA Galaxy midfielder, on a free. SSN say he's been offered a new contract by Galaxy but us, Donny and Rangers are also interested. Know he's got a few caps for Trinidad & Tobago but know nothing about what kind of midfielder he is. Plays in the same team as Donovan, Keane and Beckham, so can't be that bad surely? Anyone know anything more or have any thoughts?

    Too many very average players all over the globe, this guy is just one of them.

    Never seen him play, but before going to LA Galaxy, he was at Port Vale, Coventry and Brighton, so doesn't look promising. It's hard to judge the quality coming from the MLS, because they have some fantastic players like Donavan who are Prem. standard alongside League One and Two players.

    Yesterday I heard he was signing a new contract with Galaxy and Leeds were looking to bring him over on loan.

    Don't think anyone should be surprised being linked to this level of player.

    This should hopefully answer questions of all the Grayson outers why we're not challenging at the top of the league.

    Again we sit and watch the likes of Leicester about to sign Sharp who we were linked with last season and we have to make do with the possible likes of Chris who? - Players we need to Wiki to find out anything about them...

    Because Snodgrass, Becchio, Beckford, Gradel and Clayton were MASSIVE failures.

    That having never heard of a player is absolutely no indication of how good he is. Snoddy was a 10 goal a season forward from the Scottish 1st division FFS.
