MLS "hold on unnecessaryly to some players who could move to Europe for good money"???.......Like who???

Now see here? The party is officially spoilt. Cho

I can't recall at the moment, but I seem to remember such discussions on this Forum. If I can think of any specific players, I'll let you know.

Looking forward to that, because the "selling" of players to European & other leagues is being used as one of the highlights of MLS. Just a month ago Don Garber was in Europe & he constantly used the increased number of players being "sold" to emphasize how much the league has grown, especially in the area of youth development.

Then again, the philosophy may have changed.

Never seen the MLS as a league that considers themselves as such.

[USAF]

BUT the facts don't support that claim.......I haven't seen nor heard MLS trying to prevent Tim Howard, Geoff Cameron, Michael Bradley, DaMarcus Beasley, Carlos Bocanegra, Brian McBride & any other U.S. player, as well as Damani Ralph, Marco Pappa, Andy Najar, Fredy Montero, Stern John & any other "foreign" player from transferring to another league, if it's beneficial to the player & the league.

I don't see the league's GOAL as being a development league, but they have expressed pride & satisfaction that players they've developed & those they've signed are increasingly being signed to bigger and/or more established leagues.

Karl that's the 2015 season. I hope they put up the 2016 which was played some days ago

Thanks!
