Gooch Gone

Wow. Here's a blistering critique from YanksAbroad.com of everyone involved in the Oguchi Onyewu move to Newcastle which, as Chris predicted, was a failure for Gooch.

Meanwhile Jay Demerit was relegated with Watford. Bobby Convey missed the last portion of the year at Reading due to injury.

The three Americans at Fulham are still sraping to avoid relegation (I think they will). Incredibly, the defender Carlos Bocanegra is their second leading scorer after Brian McBride. Clint Dempsey is getting a run every once in a while. Everyone says he needed to get fit for the English schedule, which is reverse to the American season. Hopefully next year he'll play a bit more. He's only 24. He could really help them out if he gets rolling.

So, Dempsey and Gooch to Fulham?

Dempsey ($4M) and Gooch ($2M) to Fulham? Are we serious? Where Bocanegra and McBride already are? Holy schnikees. What are American soccer fans supposed to do? Root like crazy for the Cottagers?

I guess I now have a second favorite team. (Reading, because of Bobby Convey). A third favorite team, then.
