    let's see if this image is less blurry here than where I stole it from ......

    edit: huh, too small to tell if it's fuzzy - oh well, if I run across the text instead of a dumb image version, I'll be back.

    It's OK that it's blurry because we all know how this story ends...

    So Pablo Maurer retweeted that Rooney told Lucho he would take him to Derby County.

    plenty say stuff like that when leaving a job but wouldn’t it be something if the guy Benny pushed to the side goes to Derby and tears it up.

    I’ll be rooting for Lucho wherever he ends up.

    I'm not sure the Lucho would meet the work requirements to play in England. IINM even the Championship has National Team requirements foreign players must meet.

    That's down the street :D

    I've been kind of unimpressed with him playing for Loudoun, but then I've been disappointed in Yow as well. Maybe because I'm expecting more out of both of them than the players around them on offense.

    Good point. What I see is a stratification of the league based on "ambition" and willingness to spend. I will be really curious what the new CBA will bring - more DPs and TAM players, an increase in the salary cap and perhaps even greater percentages for selling players retained by the clubs.

    Bottom line is that if this team is committed to winning championships, it is going to have to move into that top tier of clubs such as Seattle, Portland, LA Galaxy, LAFC, Toronto, Atlanta, NYCFC, Chicago and I fully expect to add Miami. From this point on MLS is going to get a LOT more competative and frankly our current ownership doesn't have the financial chops to stay competative.

    The MLS draft should probably be killed off entirely. With academy spending at an all time high 99% of MLS level collegiate talents are signed as Home Growns. The draft in its current form is mostly a tool to help teams get cheap talent for their USL teams not the MLS ones.
