O'Brien In MLS Negotiations
(Soccer365.com) - Oft-injured ADO Den Haag midfielder John O'Brien is healthy and on his way to MLS, according to agent Rob Jansen.
The business manager noted that the World Cup 2002 starter should be available to Bruce Arena again this summer in Germany.
"He's completely fit," Jansen told Yanks-Abroad. "He's in the middle of negotiations with an American team."
"It looks good, and I think it will happen."
The long-time Eredivisie man returned to the U.S. last winter to nurse a groin injury and has yet to return to his Dutch club.
ADO manager Frans Adelaar confirmed that O'Brien would not be back at Zuiderpark.
"He went to America around Christmas, and since then I didn't hear from him that he is fit to play," said the coach. "With five games remaining, I don't think he will play for ADO Den Haag anymore."
"He has a contract until the end of this season, and we won't give him a new contract."

Maybe he won't be injured all the time now. we could definitely use him in the midfield in the WC, esp if Reyna's injured.
FWIW, I bet he ends up playing for freakin' Red Bull in the MLS.
