Atlanta United’s Brad Guzan faced with familiar narrative

ATLANTA — The time is here.

Brad Guzan has been spotted with the Atlanta United, training in the back of the net … but let’s pump the brakes and not get ahead of ourselves when it comes to the idea of his starting anytime soon.

First off, the 6-foot-4 goalkeeper won’t be eligible to see the field for until the MLS secondary transfer window opens on July 10, despite the English Premier League’s ability to release and sign players on July 1.

Perhaps this is an opportunity for Guzan to find his 2012-2013 Aston Villa form again, or even channel his glory days spent with Chivas USA, where he led the team to the playoffs three times and was named the 2007 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year.
