Crew8 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 So I was thinking this morning while watching some EPL action. Who do you think would be the first former Akron player to play somewhere in Europe? Would it be Bunbury or Zakuani? Or someone from the 2010 Championship squad? And I'm excluding Kyle Veris who attended Akron then transferred to OSU. He had a one year stint with Hodd in Norway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Utah Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Kirk Harwat played in Germany, so we've had at least one player go overseas to play professionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, I didn't see that one and he played with Kasey Keller at Borussia M'gladbach. Michael Bradley's former team. Thanks, I guess who'll be the second player? Unless there is another player I don't know of who played in Europe. I gotta think Zakuani will be next, since he has London ties and has expressed a move to Europe someday. If not, maybe Mattocks depending how this season turns out. If he's a First Round pick in the MLS, I can see him staying in the US, if not, he's heading to Europe. Although I think Bunbury has the best chance to excel in Europe and he'll know when the time is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jem101 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 The fact is that pretty much any of the MLS Zips could play in Europe in some of the second tier leagues, the real question is which one will play in one of the elite leagues such as the Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, or La Liga. If I had to bet, I would say that it would be Bunbury or Zakuani. I've been surprised how much Bunbury has improved. Quite honestly, with the way he disappeared in the Cup last year, I wasn't sure if he had it in him. I was definitely wrong though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
