John O’Brien Healthy And Coming Home

March 21st, 2006 | By: Daryl | 3 Comments »

After three injury plagued years John o’Brien is fit to play for the national team again. O’Brien’s agent Rob Jansen told Yanks-Abroad his client was now “completely fit” and ready for a national team call up.

ADO Den Haag aren’t so impressed though. Manager Frans Adelaar rather bluntly said

“With five games remaining, I don’t think he will play for ADO Den Haag anymore. He has a contract until the end of this season, and we won’t give him a new contract.”

Fair enough, but the Eredivise’s loss is MLS’s gain as Agent Jansen says O’Brien is “in the middle of negotiations with an American team.”

Something seems fishy, regarding Johnny O’B.

You’d think that Bruce would give him a call and invite him to Germany for tomorrow’s friendly. Someone already commented on our barren midfield.

It doesn’t seem as if ADO would object to releasing him to National Team duties?

Would anyone be willing to share their speculation here?

I don’t think he’s even with ADO at the moment. Their manager said O’Brien “went to America around Christmas, and since then I didn’t hear from him that he is fit to play” so it sound like he’s over here.

The Germany game is too soon though, we can’t expect O’Brien to be ready to play in an international until he’s got some club games under his belt. But if he signs with an MLS team the schedule could work out just right for him to get match fit in time for the ’send-off series’.
