Several American players are on the move in the January transfer window, with Edson Buddle, Jonathan Bornstein, and Robbie Findley all leaving MLS for Germany, Mexico, and England, respectively, and Clarence Goodson, Brad Guzan, and Oguchi Onyewu among several others transferring around Europe. Apart from that, there's not been a lot of drama thus far in the transfer market, which runs through the end of January. Meanwhile, the midwinter break is now over across most of the European leagues, and the second half of the season is under way.
