Its hard to keep up with the rumors of where Gooch is going to go, maybe he’ll come to the Minnesota Thunder! Well thats not quite realistic at all, but the latest signs point to Newcastle.
From the Soccernet article:
United States international defender Oguchi Onyewu is undergoing a medical with Newcastle with a view to a loan move from Belgian side Standard Liege.
Onyewu, 24, has been attracting interest from clubs across Europe, reportedly including Chelsea.

According to rumors flying all over the internet there are several really big name clubs interested in signing Oguchi Onyewu. The first was Fulham, and I was really pulling for them to get him. Now there are many others that could certainly dish out more money, and be more attractive for any player to go to:
- Chelsea
- Real Madrid
- Middlesbrough
- Inter Milan
- Lyon
That is quite a list of teams at or near the top of their leagues in England, Spain, Italy and France; A lot of the best leagues in the world represented right there. I’m still pullin for Fulham, I want to see 4 americans starting at a successfull EPL club.

The Boston Globe reports that the MLS has agreed to sell Clint Dempsey to Fulham of the EPL for an MLS record $4 million. It is too bad to see such a talent go, but its great to see that the MLS can produce such a talent that attracts attention from teams in one of the top leagues in the world.
Oguchi Onyewu is also reported to be making a possible move from his current club in Belgium to join Americans Carlos Bocanegra and Brian McBride who have been at Fulham for a couple of years already.
That would give Fulham 4 Americans that could all potentially hold down starting jobs there. That would also probably push them past any other teams in the EPL as far as my favorites go! I’ve already got the Fulham scarf hanging in my computer room! c’mon you whites!
Clint, you will be missed in the MLS, and I’m sure OO will be missed in Belgium. Good luck at Fulham guys!
