    I know he moved from DC United to Salt Lake because he wasn't getting many games. Good price I think, the boy has still got plenty of potential but I doubt he will ever be the superstar he was once reportedly destined to be.

    I saw some glimpses of him at the Under 20 World Cup and he seemed to be key to the US side there.

    2 million seems like a very good deal alright. Yeah there's lots of hype around him but he's still only 18. He's plenty of time to develop.

    Once the MLS defenders figured him out he didnt do much after his initial burst. All of this hype about him was put out by Nike as he signed a big contract with them at 14. I had given up hope on him until the U-20 World Cup - he played great and was a leader on the pitch.
