Can't be a bad move.... lets just hope he doesn't get tired of sitting on the bench like Landycakes Donovan. If we waits his turn then he may get a shot, but don't expect much the first year.

He'll get a shot his first year. What he does with it will determine if he get's the second.

Seeing what the move to Benfica has helped Freddy, this could be one of the best things ever for USMNT.

Get the deal done, so they can announce the loan deal with Recreativo. If the loan goes through and he can play for a team like Recreativo early and often then only is this a good move.
