Well it looks as though Michael Bradley will be leaving Dutch football at the end of the season. Bradley, who has done very well in Holland, hasn’t signed a new contract which the club has offered. His current contract is up in 2009, and the club understands they need to sell him before Michael get’s away for less than he is worth. Bradley has scored seven times in the eighteen matches he has played in, including a hat trick. Not a bad return considering he is being played predominately in a holding midfield role for Heerenveen.

Michael Bradley has Impressed
for both Club and Country

Bradley has a desire that I haven’t seen in any other young player in the United States. He eats, drinks, and dreams football, and then he goes and plays the game. The most revealing example that convinced me that Michael was serious about playing in Europe, and staying there, was this interview below. When a twenty year old American kid goes abroad to the Netherlands, the last thing you would expect is him to do is learn the native language and use it? I can’t wait to watch this young player’s career progress and evolve, because I see something special in him.

Reports have him linked with a move to the Bundesliga with club side Hamburg.
