I think this is a case of “I wanted to play in Europe and the window of opportunity is closing.” I think he can latch on to a bottom half of the table team in Serie A or La Liga and play regularly. This is only a 1 or 2 year thing so the team doesn’t really matter as long as he plays and its at the highest level. That’s what I think is happening

Do you think many Italian and Spanish League One teams will go for Mastroeni? He seems to be on the downhill side of his career, and I understand his wanting to leave and play abroad, but isn’t it a little too late to really get on a solid team?

yes, but Bradley needs a bigger challenge than Monaco has to offer. Adu on the other hand, he just needs to play.

Wouldn’t Bradley and Adu continuing to play together be really good for the national team?

Agreed Chuck. I don’t honestly think Bradley wants to play in France, let alone Monaco. My hunch is that he’ll end up with Hamburg or Bayer Leverkusen. This might just be a ploy to get the other interested teams to put a little more money out there for heerenveen. I think Adu would do well for Monaco, he would get some good playing time their but I think Bradley will be a little bit more ambitious and choose either germany or england.

I’m not buying that Monaco will take both of them. It seems more likely that it’s going to be one or the other since it was only said that they’re very interested in bringing a top American prospect. I still think it’s only Adu. not sure this would be a grwat move for Bradley.
