MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
The moustachioed one moves to Orlando.

Kljestan to Orlando confirmed. I think he's an upgrade from Kaka.
Orlando have a young DP playmaker on the way from Paraguay too

LAFC are beginning to look like a scary team. They might make the playoffs in their first year like ATL did
Justin Meram and Ola Kamara have both apparently asked to be moved
Larin signs with Besiktas.
Larin is the one guy I would like from the MLS. But not surprised he is going overseas.
Not that we need him. But down the road, he could be our future 9 DP.

Diamanti to MLS?

Imbrahimovic to mls?
Dzemaili wants to go back to Europe. Montreal's team is starting to crumble as they've already lost Ciman, Bernier, Camara and Oyongo...

Javier Hernandez linked with LAFC. I could see them or an mls team going for him, it hasn't worked out for him in pl with West Ham and he's still be a big draw within the Mexican fan base. He's only 29 so still a few more good yrs left in him.
LAFC are spending a lot of their cap space and barely have 1/2 a team yet.
Once again it seems AU has much broader vision about what they want to do than some other MLS teams. Some of the teams with their heads stuck in 2001 are falling behind and are going to become antiques.
I totally missed Doneil signing for the Whitecaps. could form a monster CB pairing with Waston if both of them can keep their shit together and stay on the field.
Barco to ATL scares me but also gives me a bit of hope on the backend. If they have enough cap space to do what they're doing than we definitely must have cap room to use.
Aaaaaaaannnnnnddddddd........ Tabla has left MTL.
God, they're going to be a heaping pile of shit this year.
Where's he going?
^Wasn't he supposed to be going to Lille?

Could be. I stopped paying attention to the rumors when it became clear he and his agent were very comfortable spending the entire year gaslighting in the press about his departure.
Lille sounds more likely. the two I mentioned sound ripe for his particular brand of self-aggrandizing. I'd 100% not be surprised if it was him and his agent who were touting him to all these big European clubs while in fact it's much more likely he ends up at a sort of European mid-major type , like Lille, instead.
Garde and the Impact FO seem to not understand they're losing tons of assets for nothing by just seemingly releasing all these guys for free.
[QUOTE=James17930;1859047]I just really wish these guys would start coming over younger now, like Seba did. It still makes the league looks bad when a mid-30s guy comes for a year or two then retire.
MLS has the youngest average age of all North American professional sports, and comparable to all major soccer leagues.
