If this is true its quite a dissapointing transfer all round. We should have had him tied up years ago. This is a good move for Sutton but not Surman, who I think has far greater potential.
He'll be often unavailble for the AWs, if he doesn't set the MLS on fire you can kiss goodbye to 20% sell on fees, if he does get sold on, most of the coin goes to them, not us, and his first move really should be to Europe. Only Nelsen and S. Elliott have found success in Europe by going MLS first.
I just hope some UK based club gets wind of this and starts a bidding war.
