It's very simple. Gio needs to go on a loan to 1. FC Köln. They are one of the biggest clubs in Germany, but got hit with a transfer ban which decimated the roster. Their transfer ban ends in January. They are currently in seventh position in the German 2nd Division, but only two points out of first. Gio can play the second half of the season with Köln, score a lot of goals, and get his confidence up. He will be loved in Cologne if he gets them promoted. He could then stay or ride off into the sunset. #effzeh
Why would any of the clubs want to buy him. In football form is everything. Reyna has had 0 form in 3 years. None of the clubs you mentioned would buy him.
I would like to see Gio Reyna pull off a McKennie - that is, prove all the doubters wrong, earn a starting spot at Dortmund and become one of their key players. A healthy Gio Reyna is definitely capable of that. I watched the "Giovanni Reyna vs Barcelona 11/12/24" highlights on RUclips and he was making great passes left and right.
As a Dortmund fan, idk if now is the right time to go. Terzić didn't play him, but this past game vs Barça was the first time he's been healthy under Şahin. Yes, Brandt's injury was a big factor, but honestly between Brandt and Malen being as inconsistent as they've been the past couple years, this might be his opportunity to establish himself
I like Mallorca, Milan, or Fiorentina for him. But why not clubs like Sociodad, Girona, or Las Palmas? I also wouldn't hate a club in France. Clubs like Marseille, Lille, Lens, or Brest may be a decent shout
Why not?… because all the teams you mentioned also get a vote and they have better options… France in particular is a factory for fresh midfield talent…
Gio is very talented and i know you say it a lot, but there are still a lot of people who think gio has actually fell off, when he is one of the top 5 usmnt players
Landon is probably butthurt that there isn't a posterboy USMNT players representing and playing for the MLS. Will that happen? Unless the European competition is the same level as MLS, no.
Here’s what non-USMNT fans see: he was promising when very young; the special talents he started out with (Sancho, Bellingham, Haaland) have moved on to better things in high transfers; since then EVEN when fit multiple independent managers leave him on the bench or regularly out of the team all together; he best performs for the USMNT and then only against CONCACAF opposition; he is a luxury player but not special enough relative to his competition (there is already the next generation of 10 in the wings at BVB; sentiment aside, most objective people would draw different conclusions from this record; it’s absurd to claim that he needs some mythical‘Goldilocks’ conditions to be able be the player you think he is… Pulisic is what your special talent looks like and he’s had injuries too…
Gio should just stay for the rest of the season and fight for playing time regardless of position. If anyone is leaving Dortmund this winter is going to be Donyell Malen. Now if that doesn't work out sure maybe seek a move in the Summer.
I love the thought of another American at PSV, but what about their chief rival Ajax which is making its way back to top tier form? Their 10 is 34-yo Jordan Henderson who's clearly seen his best days behind him. In any event, with Brandt seemingly injured at Dortmund, why not stay put until the summer?
Most of the clubs that people are listing are completely unrealistic because almost exclusively, the clubs that get aggressive in January are clubs that have to: they're either a) underperforming expectations or b) have significant injuries to specific positions. Most of the clubs people are mentioning don't need Gio, need someone with more potential than Gio, or can't afford Gio, so to mention them is sort of silly. PSV doesn't need Gio enough to drop the coin on him. They have two players who are good at the 10 and they will win the league with them. Why would they buy him? PSV is not going to break the bank when they're cruising to victory in the league. AC Milan doesn't need Gio. Who is he going to displace? Reijnders? No. Pulisic? No. AC Milan need a 9, a RB, and possibly another CB. 10 is not their weak point. Calls for him to go to MLS are absolute madness. Just because we would want someone to go somewhere, that doesn't mean that the club is going to see it through red, white, and blue glasses. They look out for themselves and themselves only. They have to need him and they have to be able to afford him and Dortmund is not going to allow him to go for pennies because he is young and has crazy potential. Dortmund will be looking for a team that is desperate for a 10 and will be willing to pay more than transfer market says he's worth. Personally, I take the start in the UCL as a good sign and think he should fight for minutes at Dortmund and if he gets them, great. If not, then explore a summer transfer. If he didn't get this start and it was still the same story there as it has been, I'd be more open to a January loan.
MLS gets unnecessary hate but people like Donovan will be the reason why the league will continue to get clowned. 300 games in the MLS will not grow a player as much as playing against some of the best players in the World in the CL.
I mean, he literally just turned 22 a month ago. He's years away from being a "bust". In reality, he's more one of those unfortunate stories of a player that was talented, but couldn't stay healthy. It happens in sports all the time. It's not like when he does play he isn't good enough, he clearly looks like he belongs out there, he just literally can't stay healthy and get on the field.
He's consistently one of the 2-3 best US players every time he puts on a US jersey. He was putting up consistently good club performances at a top 15 club in the world, until injuries made him unreliable. Still doesn't look out of place when he does get minutes. He's clearly not a bust, just needs to find a coach who feels he's the best fit. It's similar to Dest at Barcelona or Pulisic at Chelsea. You're not a bust just because a coach with a lot of good options thinks one of the other good options is a better fit.
Gio to PSV is a waste of time. I get that for a guy who hasn't played the last 3-4 seasons ANY playing time is valuable. But if he plays well there it proves nothing. Tillman is doing pretty well there and at worst Gio is Tillman's equal. The move should absolutely be Mallorca! Dani Rodriguez is 36 years old and out of contract in June. STU HOLDEN - LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN. C'MON MAN!!!
Here’s my squad where I feel Reyna could contribute on. ManU. They loaned away Sancho and are currently struggling, so they definitely could be on the hunt for talent. They have an odd formation (3-6-1?), but he could pair alongside Bruno Fernandes in the center to create an attacking pair. This might also be dependent on how they much they value Alejandro Garnacho as I feel that is the player Reyna will most be competing with. But certainly the results haven’t been too great for that club so far. Perhaps switching from him to Reyna could be the boost they need
All top flight managers are smart… their livelihoods depend on their selections so they don’t give out participation trophies… they judge Reyna against others in their squad and others coming through everyday in training… they draw their own conclusions from that…
@ of course, but some are stubborn and inflexible, and some are not tactical geniuses. I mean if a manager’s plays a certain way and he can easily recognize where Reyna fits, instead of trying to make him something he is not, then he is “smarter” than others.
@@artrobles3826 at some point you just have to look at the mounting evidence… how likely is it that after several rejecting managers in a row don’t trust him it’s a them problem not a him problem?… that’s called cognitive dissonance… there’s all this talk about other clubs but the reason he went to Forest was that no other teams wanted him and that was his last results… 3 years ago we were having the same argument about Matt Turner… until the evidence became painfully overwhelming…
Let’s be honest: Gio Reyna needs to make a step back and come to a team where he can be a top player rather than going to someplace and just be a cog in the wheel. Mallorca certainly makes sense in that respect. And while PSV is one of the biggest players on a half-step down, maybe a move to France or one of the “fallen giants” of the 2 Bundesliga could also work. Gio becoming a hero to the fans at Hertha or Hamburg would possibly lift his profile and confidence enough to make him the player he could be if the cards play out.
Ligue 1. Marseille. 2nd in league. De Zerbi is the coach. Passionate likes youth, attacking football. Has take struggling talent like Greenwood, without judgement, gets them going. Marseille also need a left sided attacker who can play as a 10. How is that not perfect for Gio?
Leeds - they need a creative 10. Aaronson isn’t it and I think the price point for Gio is manageable. American ownership is also a plus. They have a good chance at promotion.
I agree and it won’t happen. It was a complete dumpster fire for Weston. The supporters were awful to him but at least the club is under new ownership and it’s also a different manager. Gio could be a good fit though. I’m also partial as a Leeds supporter haha
![[SFM] Risky Recital](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RzNkY1_Nk3o/mqdefault.jpg)
He’s so incredibly talented he should go to the mighty USL
Yeah to OCSC
Only if it’s Louisville City
I read an article that a USL game had better tv ratings than the NYRB vs LA Galaxy 😂
Reyna to Roma would be my pick. Americans abroad = Americans in Italy
Gio in La Liga makes too much damn sense. Would be great in that league
the tough part is finding a La Liga club that he actually fits in at that also plays consistently in european competitons.

Another thing Gio needs to do is to fire his manager for pushing that stupid move to N Forrest.

This right here 👏
I don’t understand how Reyna replaces Sergi Darder as their CAM for Mallorca. He’s probably their best player
I like Mallorca, Milan, or Fiorentina for him. But why not clubs like Sociodad, Girona, or Las Palmas? I also wouldn't hate a club in France. Clubs like Marseille, Lille, Lens, or Brest may be a decent shout
Why not?… because all the teams you mentioned also get a vote and they have better options… France in particular is a factory for fresh midfield talent…
Mallorca, have not debt now and good balance, is a growing team in Spain, La Liga,...
Gio is very talented and i know you say it a lot, but there are still a lot of people who think gio has actually fell off, when he is one of the top 5 usmnt players
Fiorentina is a GREAT place to play for Gio. Our previous 10, Nico Gonzalez, went to Juvy to be injured all the time.
System is more important than league. Any club that uses an authentic #10 in the center would love Gio.

He does not get regularly left out of the squad when he’s fit, completely untrue. Also, Terzic is the only manager has not really rated Reyna.
Gio should just stay for the rest of the season and fight for playing time regardless of position. If anyone is leaving Dortmund this winter is going to be Donyell Malen. Now if that doesn't work out sure maybe seek a move in the Summer.
HE IS NOT LEAVING IN THE WINTER 🤡
He should go to MLS and if he can stay healthy and prove himself, I’m sure many European clubs will want him.
Your case for Mallorca is very persuasive...
He cant make the first team if the owners arent American
I love the thought of another American at PSV, but what about their chief rival Ajax which is making its way back to top tier form? Their 10 is 34-yo Jordan Henderson who's clearly seen his best days behind him. In any event, with Brandt seemingly injured at Dortmund, why not stay put until the summer?

@@daviddinwiddie9253define ‘consistently’…
Why does Landon want everyone to run back to their mommy in the US, like he did, when things get a little rough in Europe?
Gio to PSV is a waste of time. I get that for a guy who hasn't played the last 3-4 seasons ANY playing time is valuable. But if he plays well there it proves nothing. Tillman is doing pretty well there and at worst Gio is Tillman's equal. The move should absolutely be Mallorca! Dani Rodriguez is 36 years old and out of contract in June. STU HOLDEN - LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN. C'MON MAN!!!
He just started vs Barcelona in champions league! He doesn't need to go anywhere. Fight for minutes at Dortmund.
AC Milan 1st, Juve 2nd, Real Betis 3rd, PSV 4th. Maybe being with fellow Americans will help!
Pelligrini is too scared of younger players, it takes too much time to earn trust there
Betis is quite possibly one of the worst places he could go
Not sure specifically but another German Team or Italy
Also Spain would be nice
He should go to Go Ahead Eagles
A boner of an episode!
Mallorca plays a 343, not a 4231. Where are you getting this
Their last match was a 4-2-3-1. Looks like they alternate between a 4-4-2 as well...
San Diego
Why would he go to PSV and take playing time from another American
Assumed if Malik leaves. Did you pay attention
@ again though why bring him in January if Malik is going to be there and what happens if Gio goes in January and Malik doesn’t leave in the summer
Who says Malik will lose minutes or that Gio will automatically be a starter and play the full 90?
Here’s my squad where I feel Reyna could contribute on. ManU.

La liga or seria
Title contending Portuguese League could be very good for him too!
Tim Howard is just spews Clickbait. Hate seeing such a great player have such a poor head.
Nah he was right to call out Pulisic for the n*zi dance
Hear me out, Gio to Benfica 😊
Benfica right now is probably one of the worst clubs for talents.
💋❤️💋
Again I say Fiorentina: Vivere la vita viola as someone pointed out
Get on bluesky please. Nobody uses X anymore
ruclips.net/video/4lrHzbLnC4o/видео.html
Girona needs Gio more than anyone in La Liga, and they play an open attacking style that suits him
Celta Vigo. Please. Or Heidenheim. To a manager who is hungry and smart.

Why not Sevilla in La Liga? Seems like they could use a 10.
Fiorentina is a good one
I love Mallorca as an option. I think la liga is the best league for gio.
I’d like Gio to go to Fiorentina or Real Betis
PSV, Juventus, AC Milan, LA Galaxy
Or maybe... Just maybe EFL Championship (AKA 2nd division of England) but I think those clubs that you mention are good.
Ligue 1. Marseille.
2nd in league. De Zerbi is the coach. Passionate likes youth, attacking football. Has take struggling talent like Greenwood, without judgement, gets them going. Marseille also need a left sided attacker who can play as a 10.
How is that not perfect for Gio?
If Tillman leaves I’m all for Gio going to PSV, would be pretty perfect
France or Italy on a club with another American
Go to Leeds United with Brandon aaronson or go to Italy where all the washed talent of big clubs go to.
LEEDS?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Genoa is not a relegation battle team, they are tied up in the midtable.... haha Serie A is just competitive
