USMNT Needs Newbies Not A New Coach: Part 1

A headache is the best way I can describe the aftermath of calls for a USMNT coaching change. Boss Jürgen Klinsmann has helped lead the US out of a dark period and has given our nation a reason to believe in the future. 

However, it seems he may need to start giving even younger players a chance if he is to enter the 2018 World Cup with hopes of making it the most successful ever.  Our new weekly article USMNT Needs Newbies Not A New Coach, will highlight some of the best American talent that could help bring them to the promise land.  


Joshua Gatt - 23 - Winger 





















The speedy winger has enjoyed a successful but injury filled stay at Molde FK of the Tippeligaen. His time for the club has seen him feature in 68 matches scoring 8 goals and tallying 12 assists.  Gatt is a player who could mirror the already established DeAndre Yedlin, yet, without having to convert positions.  Gatt has been a player on our radar since his move to the club in 2011 from Rheindorf Altach.

Gatt has featured for the USMNT twice as well as being a part at the U20 and U23 level.
   
Demballi "Boxi" Yomba -  18 - Forward


Yomba broke into the US U-20 squad by scoring goals in his first two matches, with his first coming against Ireland.  The forward plays for Spanish club Athletic Madrid, as a part of the U-19 and U-20 sides.  Yomba is an exciting player summarized best as a versatile forward, who can feature as a winger or a center forward.  If he continues to progress in Europe, he will make a strong case for a call up to the USMNT senior side.

Here is the link to a downloadable list of all the EPL Transfer so far The 2015 Barclays Premier League summer transfer window is in full swing. With the September 1st deadline slowly moving closer, here are some of the best signings so far... Gerard Deulofeu - Winger - 21 years old     Transfer:   FC Barcelona   ->  Everton  Transfer Fee : 4.2 Million Euros  Deulofeu has blinding pace.  His return to Merseyside will be much welcomed after being loaned to the club in 2013-14.  During his first stay he appeared 25 times, tallying 3 goals.  Sidelined due to injury the flashes of brilliance he displayed when healthy was enough for boss Roberto Martinez to complete this permit transfer without hesitation. In my opinion this may end up being the steal of the transfer window.  If he can stay healthy, the combination of his and Kevin Mirallas speed could easily translate into explosive seasons for the pair.  The luxury...

Onward To Villa Park - Manchester United vs. Aston Villa Preview

Tottenham…In Short Manchester United topped Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford, kicking off the season with a 1-0 victory.   The lone goal came courtesy of Tottenham as Kyle Walker was "credited" with the bizarre own goal.   United got the result, regardless of how, which is the most important take away. New arrivals Matteo Darmain, Memphis Depay, Morgan Schneiderlin, Bastion Schweinsteiger and Sergio Romero all saw action as the high profile signs looked like solid additions. Romero stole the show, making crucial stops in the later stages of the match.   Schneiderlin played well aside Michael Carrick, with the pair combining for a pass completion average of 91.55%.   Memphis and Darmain also had strong performances for United, completing 86.2% and 86.1% respectively in their first starts for United.   In a match that did not see Marouane Fellaini (suspended), Marcos Rojo (rest?)
