From what I saw on the broadcast, it could be that Brek was brought in to get some work in and be looked at by Nowak – the Olympic coach.

I thought KC senior was an advisor to a Premiership side but that it wasn’t ManU. Am I remembering wrong? He should maybe be made the TD slot in Dallas as he seems to be adept at youth scouting.

Kenny Cooper Sr recommended Brek to Manchester United’s Jimmy Ryan. Jimmy was in Dallas last week. He spent time with Cooper and former Tornado players Renshaw, Cohen. Hall. Jimmy did attend the Chicago game last week, along with a number of other European scouts.

So far it’s just been tabloid stuff on Man U and Brek. Hard to know how much money it would be, but I doubt it would be that cheap.

Interesting that Man U wants him, but for some reason he can’t crack the starting XI at FCD????

I don’t see that selling him would really benefit the club, since he is a Gen Ad player. The team would have to pay much more and would lose cap room if they tried to replace him with a player of equally talent. I think ManU would really have to money whip the club to get Brek.

Now, if the club only cares about $$$ and isn’t really concerned with the strength of their roster, then he will be gone by the 4th. The bag of Cash will be placed in the closet next to the Northwest restrooms at the Oven. It will go in the empty space next to the bag of cash labeled C. Ruiz.

Steve, not nearly as much as if he was actually playing games and contributing to his team on the field and tv. i hope they hold onto him and he begins to play somehow to increase his value, something like Jozy Altidore, even though Jozy had an international coming out party at the U20 World Cup.

would Michael Beasley or Derrick Rose be considered top NBA draft prospects without playing this past season in the NCAA? methinks not.

If ManU is truly interested, how much of a transfer fee would FCD/MLS likely get?

I believe Bradley had the call on that one…
