Could be a very promising signing indeed if the report on the BBC is true. We still need more signings, but hopefully with this one, will a deal now be struck with that other America striker we were looking at the other week that Eddie guy?

Eddie Johnson turned down the transfer request... those of us who pay attention in the US were mortified. We think it was a HUGE mistake. He is inconsistent and a little bit of a head case, but he is gifted, which makes it so maddening! My understanding is that he did not want to leave mid-season. In 2005 he also rejected a bid from Benfica. I simply don't understand his logic.

As for Feilhaber - I'm so pleased that he is going to play in England! You've got yourself a fabulous athlete that is humble and likes to work hard. He will do your shirt proud, I guarantee it. I just hope that he is nurtured properly, is given a chance and makes the most of it.

Feilhaber despite his youth will bring a lot of experience picked up in the last 12 months - high level National Team experience at the Gold Cup and Copa America not to mention his experience in the Champions League. He came closee to scoring against Arsenal at Highbury.

Feilhaber scored an incredible goal in the Gold Cup - in fact almost identical to the Messi goal in Cops America which got this review from Argentina coach Alfio Basile:

"As for Messi's goal, only a genius, a superstar could do this. It was an extraordinary feat that moved everybody."

Derby fans will find Feilhaber to be quite a talent. He is an excellent signing.

It's a good signing for Derby. Watching the Gold Cup, he looked like the best of the American players (although it was the American B team). He didn't look lost playing against the quality South American players.

He reminds me of the other American, Claudio Reyna. He can hold the ball, tackle and pass well out of the midfield.

Feilhaber has just begun to emerge as the U.S. team's best controlling midfielder, so Derby is getting him on the cheap. He will take over Reyna's role with the U.S. team, and Derby fans will grow to love him. He's very skilled, and he's tough enough to handle the EPL.
