rob.notenboom Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Is it just me or has there been significantly more interest in MLS players moving overseas during this transfer window than previously? Sure you get the typical Donovan to Everton thing going on, but there have been several others that I wouldn't have predicted (Iro to Forest especially) and now I just read that Sebastien Le Toux is getting a look from Bolton. Not that I want the league's good players to be poached, but a wider profile which includes a heightened sense of league legitimacy can't be bad for the league.

ThiKu Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Rob....you aren't wrong. I agree that overseas teams buying the better MLS players is a good thing overall. Means more good players will come to the league knowing it is scouted and could mean a big-money move if they succeed. I know MLS wants to attract the best and retain them eventually, but with the cap such as it is, it won't happen for many many years. So being a selling league should be seen as a good thing and hopefully further encourage the league to sign more and more homegrown players. And I am thrilled about the youth DP contracts now available.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yeah, lots of movement for MLS players this offseason. Hopefully ex-RSLer Findley's recent blatant miss won't affect the league's reputation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
