Guzan finalizing loan to Hull City
Ives is reporting that Guzan is going to be loaned to Hull City. Hopefully he can get some playing time there. I think it will be a good move for him as long as he is on the field. I put video of possibly his greatest performance (against Sunderland) after the jump. Well worth the time to watch it.

Do You Believe in Santa Claus?
A few days ago, I watched the The Polar Express with my children. The premise of the story is that a boy has gotten to the age where he begins to doubt that Santa Claus exists. As a result, the boy can no longer hear the jingle of sleigh bells on Santa’s sleigh because only those who truly believe can hear them. The boy has lost the magic of the season. With all that has gone on this past year, I am beginning to wonder whether I can still hear the jingle of the bells, so to speak, when it comes to soccer these days.

Findley the newest Yank Abroad as he signs with Nottingham Forest
Let me start by saying that I am not a Findley fan. He is fast as can be, but just lacks the striker quality that is required. I never understood Bradley's confidence in him. He is simply not a great forward. Sometimes change is good though and can bring out a whole new side to players. We have all seen it before in leagues around the world. Let's hope this is a good move for him and of course this blog will keep tabs on him. In my search for highlights of him, I came across the video at the bottom of the post. It just made me laugh. In all seriousness though, I wish him the best of luck.

Donovan to Fulham?
The 28-year old USA international is almost certain to return to England for another loan spell, following his successful stint with Everton earlier this year. Reports were indicating that Donovan would be back at Goodison Park, where he played 13 league matches in two-and-a-half months last season, but recent speculation suggests that a short-term shift to Fulham could be on the cards. Cottagers boss Mark Hughes needs a proven goalscorer and may be able to lure Donovan to London to team up with US teammate Clint Dempsey who is currently the club’s leading scorer.
