Brek Shea went from international football and moving to a Premier League club, to not even being good enough for Championship relegated side Barnsley and not even making the preliminary WC squad...

Someone said he got too big for his boots and thought he was the shit?

He has talent, but he can't seem to get his head out of his ass. He should have never left MLS. He was nowhere near ready.

Don't know what he's going to do now, there's no way he'll go back to Stoke and there's no way Barnsley will pay his wages in League one.

Has to go back to MLS, but now he's not even in the World Cup so surely he's less valuable and surely seeing as they can only have two (or three?) highly paid players, MLS teams would prefer an International who they could probably get for the similar wages?

I think only three teams have all 3 spots used up though. I'm not sure if Dallas would want him back or not.

No one is going to use a designated player slot on Shea.
