As it is the current MLS off season teams in the MLS sometimes look to loan out players in january to keep them fit/ get them fit for their new season. With the recovery time of Thorne seeming to get shorter everyday do you think it would be good to get a defensive midfielder in on a loan until the start of MLS again?

I've only watched the US national team a handful of times, mostly at the world cup, but players like Jermaine Jones (who has played for Schalke, Blackburn and Beshiktas) and Michael Bradley (former Villa and Roma) would definitely be an improvement at defensive midfield.

Also Liam Ridgewell (west brom and Birmingham) and Obafemi Martins could be potential targets to sure up centre back and striker.
