Two more Yanks to Serie A?

<-- Sometimes photos look remarkably awkward. I like to think they were trying to get their chests as close as possible without touching.

So, multiple reports have recently-promoted Livorno getting on the red, white and blue bandwagon. Yes, after a decade of shutting out the States*, Serie A may acquire three Americans in a month.

On the heels of Oguchi Onyewu's three-year deal with AC Milan comes the news that the Amaranto want both Ricardo Clark and Landon Donovan to join their Italian side.

Clark is out of contract at the end of this MLS season, so he could be a reasonable January transfer target for Livorno, but reports say their boss questions whether the smaller side could afford the transfee fee Donovan would command from Major League Soccer. Both moves would appear to be January moves.

Clark plays for the Houston Dynamo, while Donovan is a member of the L.A. Galaxy.

By the way, Onyewu's AC Milan debut didn't go too well Wednesday night, a 2-1 loss to Club America in which he was beaten for a goal

*I'm not ignoring Giuseppe Rossi. Does he qualify as an American playing in Italy when he's pledged allegiance to Italy?
