Bradley Joins Heerenveen

Michael Bradley has become the latest American to seek his footballing fortune in the Netherlands after completing a transfer from Metrostars to Heerenveen. As usual MLS won’t tell anyone how much money changed hands, a policy I’m not happy with. Bradley is only 18, so this could either be a fantastic learning experience or a total disaster. Encouraging for the MNT that such young players are being snapped up, but frustraing for MLS that they’re losing talent so early.
