Eddie Johnson’s First Interview as a Bluebird + Late Kljestean Rumor

Yes, the moment you have all been waiting for. EJ has spoken upon his arrival to his new club Cardiff in the Championship. Um…yeah…um it’s a…um…painful interview and umm… if you make it through a ways you will um…get to hear EJ claim he has scored a lot of um… goals for the national team. What? I’m pretty sure this kind Welsh journalist was phrasing his questions in the realm of recent history Eddie. And let’s be real, it’s not like we see Carlos Bocanegra out their touting he scores a lot of goals for the national side, when in reality, he sorta does. At least more than you, EJ.

Oh, and watch for a classic “first day at a new club, I want people to like me, but I am doodying my pants as we speak because I am so nervous and I have no idea what this British man just said to me” reaction from EJ when one of his new teammates comes by and whispers some banter in his ear. He just flat out has no idea what to do with himself. Not even an awkward smile and laugh/groan reaction EJ, don’t worry about it. There just all going to hate you when they find out you lied to the camera and you can’t score goals. Sucks for you.

And a late addition to the rumor mill as Sunday fades into Monday…

Sacha Kljestean is apparently being courted by recent Yank lovers AS Monaco, says American Soccer Reader. $2-4 Mill seems hefty enough to make Chivas USA consider, and Europe is the only way this kid is going to learn not to give the ball away like it is on fire. Just so all of the important parties involved know, I am on the record here, do it.
