I’ve been waiting for mention of interest in an ‘American’ …chat a week or so ago strongly alluded to this but I couldn’t find anything to collaborate or compliment what was said. Based on how strange it was to hear at the time, I’d say there’s something in this (I’m afraid.)

Not seen such Bravery!
Lots of competition for his signature but you never know.
With the majority/all of Duffy/Clarke/Østigård and maybe even van Hecke moving on, I reckon this is the most likely current rumour signing we have.
I'll follow this rumour with interest.

This Richards might be the next - I dunno - fill in your own name of a legendary defender, but unless he is I'd be disappointed if we moved on Ostigard (though I think he is going anyway, for a decent fee, and good luck to him), Clarke and Van Hecke without them ever kicking a ball for the club.
All that time, effort and money invested in them - then to pay £12M (apparantly) for another promising 22 year old - seems like a waste of time, effort and money (I'm not saying it is, just that it seems that way to me).

We need an American on the team as then everyone here would know us.
Also I could enjoy responding to my fellow Brit’s patronizing Americans saying “soccer” to show it is actually an English word

Can I also remind you where you could find McDonalds centuries before there were any in the USA ............................

Very true. Soccer was an original term because Rugby was also known as football. The term 'Soccer' only fully fell out of favour after the 70s by memory.
It's the same in Australia. The term 'football', I think, applies to Aussie Rules.

Footy is a complicated word in Australia. In some areas it will mean Aussie rules, in some areas it will mean rugby. I found it differed by generation and location, and it was always helpful to clarify what they meant.

This is correct! I am currently watching the footy (AFL) here in Victoria whereas I am more of a soccer fan really.
This is complicated further by the fact that the word football is now gaining some traction among the soccer community who are looking to reclaim it. The same word for a few different things is no barrier for an intellectually elastic nation as this one though. They manage to use the word 'chips' for both chips and crisps. intellectual dexterity such as this should not be underestimated.
He wasn't with us on pro terms as far as I was aware, only on youth? He's the reason I specifically added the work "professional"
