TRANSFERS: Americans on the Move - Silly Season - Updated Daily - The Comprehensive List - So Far

So its that time of year, silly season, when as a researcher I get headaches and itchy eyes. Today I went though about 7,000 soccer players (all nationalities) looking for Americans - of course being day one of the transfer window, all the players that had been declared as moving became official, so I have added everyone to the list. More than half we new about, these are the recognizable names (for most). There are no dual's on the list who have represented their (non-USA) country, so they are still eligible for USA national teams. Be sure that some of the released players will be picked up by other teams ( Irvin Parra, David Yelldell, Duane Holmes, Cody Cropper come to mind) Some players have made some good moves upward (obviously Bobby Wood and Emerson Hyndman) Mario Rodriguez has jumped 2 levels, Zach Steffen has also moved up 2, but most are sideways or down a bit.
Early days, lot's of rumors and speculation  - we will have to wait and see how it all shakes out for the Fall season.

Here is the list as of today:  the (D) denotes dual citizen. If you see omissions or errors please let me know - it's tough to track everyone and any info is truly appreciated.
