Pretty broad statement. Are you talking about young Colombians? Valderrama made a huge impact early on as did guys like Valencia, JPA and even more recently Montero. Plenty of other players have done well in the league. MLS is still trying to recruit a better crop of Intl players but go back to the same edict of getting 'older/washed out' marquee players. For the most part though, if you really have some choice, you're not going to MLS. So it may just be that the Colombians that have reached the MLS are likely short of options based on age or skill or both.
Higuita is a young prospect; those are the kind of players that nothing happen to them when they go to MLS. Mexico have bad rep but at least Rodallega made it to the EPL Jackson to Porto and Aquivaldo to Sevilla
We do have to factor that both Mls and fmf pay better than the Colombian league. So you can see why average European teams shy away...
Thats one part of the problem, but the main one is that I dont see any development; Nothing happened with Montero or Toja, two examples that came to mind.

........ En serio dan por hecho cualquier rumor del mercado de fichajes ? Esperen que se concrete en vez de ponerse a cantar Sería muy pendejo cambiar su punto de vista por un rumor de los que abundan
He is good, but I find it odd that Milán would gamble in such a young and inexperienced player. But who knows, other important team like ManU were watching him when he was 16 years old, so they' might have seen more potential in him than we do.
El Milán no está en posición para ponerse a traer refuerzos de usa ....en posiciones donde masomenos tiene jugadores
Whats wrong with my statement? Cuantos Jugadores COLOMBIANOS han salido de la MLS a Europa? el que menciono Kromekote (Montero) despues de su paso por la Portugese league, esta en China y no jugo ni un min con la seleccion de mayors (quizas un amistoso y se perdio) Si tu me quieres decir que la MLS va a ser la futura liga de las estrellas, o que van a desarollar los mejores futolistas, you have a case. But right now? No; Even mexico que muchos aca no le gusta sigue siendo mejor... That was my statement Over a year ago He haven't change history.... Im still waiting... Once again Mexico sigue siendo mejor destination than MLS. Cardona for example es titular en Mexico, le va bien y es titular y pieza importante de la seleccion de mayores. Y si Pabon no la hubiera cagado con Pekerman, seguramente estubiera de itutlar en la de mayores, Stefan Medina tambien es del gusto de Pekerman y lo volvio a convocar indiferentemente del incidente en Montevideo Si quieres decir que simplemente Mexico compra mejor que MLS, then you have a case... But that's a different argument. MLS haven't showed me to be a good destination for Colombians....
Montero es el máximo exponente , sin duda fue muy bueno lo que hizo...si termino en China fue por otro tema Pero recordemos que el no llego directo de usa .....volvió a Colombia donde metió 10 goles y participó en libertadores para que se convencieran para ofrecer por el
haha, pepino anda subversivo. Nah, yo creo que Lerma es superior fisicamente y mentalmente, pero Higuita me parece superior a la hora de distribuir el balón.
Don't exaggerate. I'm only saying that i disagree that Mls isn't a good jumping point to Europe. Anyone that brags because a rumor is foolish. Besides before the rumor I stick with what I said originally. @viejo Calm down, nothing wrong with what you said. You make it sound like its a personal attack lol.
Al parecer kaka fue el que lo recomendó ..... Fijo el man es bueno Pero no se , wilmar, celis y Cuéllar por hay ....
I saw the Milan rumor yesterday on twitter. Would be huge. I actually think there are a few decent young players in the MLS. But as viejo said absolutely nothing happens with them because they do not develop properly in the US. They are better off staying here. Montero is a prime example imo. Im not really fond of either the MLS or Mexico but between the two, the mexican league is in another world to the MLS.
