Bocanegra Released by Fulham
No real surprise here. American international went from starter to captain to on the bench over the course of the 2007-2008 EPL season.
I wouldn’t feel bad about this though. Bocanegra has proven himself to be a solid center back and many teams in Europe know this. I fully expect Bocanegra to get picked up by another team in Europe. England would be the first possibility, but certainly other European leagues will be in the running.
I can’t blame Fulham for this, changes are needed at Craven Cottage, and Bocanegra joins a long list of players who are on their way out. This could be the first of a mass exodus of American players though; Kasey Keller, Brian McBride, and Clint Dempsey could all be on their way out as well. The only player I can see 100% sure of staying is Eddie Johnson.
Any thoughts on this? Where do you think Bocanegra might end up?
