Uh-oh.

George John skips USMNT camp ahead of potential winter move

If this is true, this isn't the worst-case for FCD supporters...

George John loan deal to West Ham nearly complete

Quote:

The FC Dallas center back will soon be playing at Upton Park as part of West Ham. But it won’t be as part of a full transfer as previously believed. Not just yet, at any rate. What’s less clear is what might happen from there. From what I understand, this is just a loan deal for now. And it’s just through February. For now. The back end is open, apparently. So John might be coming back to FC Dallas Stadium for a fourth campaign. Or he might be staying in "East, East, East" London.

George John loaned to West Ham for two months

Quote:

Defender George John has been loaned to English League Championship side West Ham United for two months, FC Dallas announced today. At the end of the two-month loan, West Ham will have the option to complete a full transfer for John. Per team and league policy, terms of the loan will not be disclosed. "This is an opportunity for George to raise his play to another level," said head coach Schellas Hyndman. "He has the opportunity to spend time with a club rich in tradition, playing in one of the top leagues as they work to earn a promotion back to the Premiership. I have no doubt we will see an even better center back at the end of this period."

George John scores and stars for West Ham reserves

What must it be like: You're in a bitch close game against Dallas, who are defending dogs-at-the-bowl and holding on, but you're the opposition coach getting a hard-on because you can see your team's possessing the ball and wearing down the Dallas back line. Then, late in the game when you just know that your side's going to score the equalizer, you look to your right and standing with the fourth official is a nicely rested George John. Yet that is not the ugly part. That is that John is not just rested, he's pissed because your team has been sending his mates to the turf all night long.
