For €3.75 million, I would say he was a bargain!

With the way he's been playing, Roma can put De Rossi on the market in January and not worry about a thing.

Wow he's been bossing it that much? Where he can replace De Rossi? Wow.

He's not as good as De Rossi...but he's good. He wasn't outstanding by any means yesterday but he had his moments, he fits in Zemenball nicely.

Bradley doesn't have Landy's talent but fortunately he doesn't possess his lack of cajones either

Yup, and he's actually pretty skilled for a box to box player. Not exactly Barca quality but he's not a guy who just runs a lot like the typical American midfielder.

Yeah, skilled, hard working and seems likable - he really sticks out in team USA, for me...Part of that has to come from almost exclusively playing abroad as a professional...Trained with the Chicago Fire when he was 14 years old, turned pro at 16 and his idol was Roy Keane...Pedigree of playing in Holland, Germany, England and now Italy makes him a very well educated footballer...Seems to love Serie A as it was apparently his favorite league growing up

It really sucks that people thought that he took a midfield spot because of his dad being the US manager at the time. He's proven his critics wrong on so many levels.

So much nepotism in America, it's a lazy but understandable conclusion to make...but that talk should've ended once people saw how he played...but prejudices/biases are just that
