'Gladbach Interested in Onyewu

2
Add another club to the list of teams interested in Standard Liege's American defender Oguchi Onyewu. Now, Kicker is reporting that Borussia Moenchengladbach (Michael Bradley's team) is interested in acquiring Gooch.

While 'Gladbach could certainly use help on the back line, its hard to see Gooch taking a transfer to a team which appears bound for relegation to the Second Bundesliga (unless he is confident enough to think he can help them stay up). Click to continue reading...

Bradley Own Goal Helps Foals To 3-1 Loss

6
Just a week after scoring his first Bundesliga goal, American Michael Bradley scored another this week, just not for his team. Just when things were looking up for his new stint at Borussia Moenchengladbach, an own goal against Energie Cottbus did not help. In the early going, a 3rd minute header by Bradley could have put the Foals ahead early if not for a good save by Cottbus keeper Gerhard Tremmel. Click to continue reading...

Bradley Header Saves Point for 'Gladbach

Midweek Action: Bradley Starts for BMG

7
Michael Bradley started today for Moenchengladbach against Wolfsburg and he did not perform well.  He saw little of the ball, and when he did have a chance to score he provided a poor finish.  To make matters worse, in the 54th minute Bradley's lazy marking on a set piece led to Wolfsburg's second goal as [.

Michael Bradley knew it wouldn't be easy.

He was fully aware that being a 21-year-old newcomer to a struggling German Bundesliga club already a few weeks into their season would not make for the easiest transition, but he is far from being discouraged by the fact that he did not play in Borussia Moenchengladbach's most recent two matches, a pair of losses that led to the firing of the club's manager, Jos Luhukay.
