Ricardo Clark at Livorno

I like this move for Clark and the US program in general. He is going to play out the rest of the season in Houston, which is a plus given they may make a run for the trophy then rest a few weeks and jump into Serie A midseason. Livorno is returning to first division after a season in Serie B and most likely will be in a relegation fight. This will give Clark an opportunity to learn a lot, with so much riding on every single game. His position and style of play I think match up well with the team and league he is going to. If he can make it as a ball-winning midfielder in a workman-like Serie A team, the future for him and the national team is bright.
