This man knows his onions.

Believe he's had 2-3 good years. Had a shaky first season as most do here.

Same can be said for RvP whom appears to be very much coveted by many posters on here

The fact that he is american should be a positive given that we are trying to break new markets, US has a lot of potential revenue for us.

And i like clint, solid hard working box to box midfielder. Id take him for 10 mil or less. No more thought.

Already said I dont want RVP pal for the same reasons. Except RVP is "Only one injury free season at 29"

I didn't mean the club would be put off because he's American, more that fans are less likely to speculate about him because he's not called Leonardo Vancelli or something similarly exotic.

See him as more of a creative midfielder / auxiliary striker than a box-to-box. He'd play in one of the front four positions for us rather than deeper like Yaya or Barry.

One thing about him is he isn't afraid to get stuck in and play a gritty game. He would be an interesting change-up in a similar way to Tevez without being batshit insane.

The only negative for me is his penchant for death metal.

Another thing, as was mentioned, would be not just from a footballing aspect but a commercial aspect. The coverage the QPR match and the last derby got over here was rather phenomenal. People actually know there is another "Manchester" club besides the scum. ESPN shows like Sportscenter, PTI, etc couldn't get enough of the QPR match. Our name's been splashed around a lot lately and if we suddenly sign one of the best and most recognisable American players out there, we've just sold a few thousand more shirts. Add to that he is actually more than half decent and something completely different than what we already have, there are very few disadvantages to this were it to happen. We could probably get him for £12million and sign him for £100k a week. He wants Champions League. I say do.

100k a week? What?

60 at the absolute most.
