Potential MLS CONMEBOL Players

Mexico has a league on PAR with MLS??????????


NO fix that MEXICO has a league vastly supieror to MLS... And for a list that excludes argentina, brasil, and Uruguay. Nice to see a Player from Rosario Central. Last I know they play in ARgentina.

Oh by the way Cerro is from Paraguay. Jaquin Botero is one of Bolivia's best talents and I doubt he'd play in MLS. Wish full thinking though.

jejejejejjeje on par with MLS JAJAJAJAJ. Thanks for giving a hard working man a laugh.

 

Gee, guys please get it off your minds.. I am a huge follower of MLS but to say MLS is on par with MFL is way off.... SAy what you will about their style of play and antics-which I know turns off some MLS fans about the Mexican league- but they are clearly a better league, which also enjoys parity, just at a better level...

 

First of we all know Chile sucks

But some of these players could not play in MLS as they are prohibitively expensive...Pinilla, Pizarro, Rojas, Seba Gonzales, etc.... OTOH, we pay American talent such as EJ and LD close a million per year.... Guess it 's about investing and hopefully being lucky with the signings... However, the less risky proposition would be to get talent still in the SA leagues.... not the standouts that each league's clubs plan to sell straight to Europe or Mexico, but the next best players...

 

Jamie Moreno was ONE of BOLIVIA's best talents, but his move to MLS damaged his Bolivia career. He was rarely called into camps post 1998.

Marco was one of South Americas best #10's. DC UNITED revived his career. But for some reason he remained in the shadows of Erwin "platini" Sanchez.

 

which is a shame because I watched my first Bolivian league match the other day and my lord is it crap

 

One match?

Substitute Bolivian with MLS and you get one of those oh-so-terrible Eurosnob comments.

Let me guess, you are probably the first one to complain when it's the other way around.

 

Well put.

 

de la cruz is still considered to be one of ecuador's best players, although he hasn't excelled in england. a recent rumor involves his transfer to colo colo of chile. i highly doubt he would come to mls

el 'tin' delgado, long viewed as ecuador's best striker, is way too injury-prone. during the last WCQ, he was one of the most dangerous strikers in south america...but injuries have affected his play alot, and also eventually led to his departure from southhampton and back to the ecuadorian league. he has lost alot of his pace, and i dont think mls would be wise in picking him up.

espinoza has become a fixture on the ecuadorian national team's roster at center back. he plays well enough...i guess he would be a good pickup.

hurtado is the other fixture at center back for ecuador, and their captain. he is much more skilled than espinoza, however i've read that he comands a large salary in mexico, so mls should probably stay away from that

mendez (along with de la cruz) was ecuador's best player in korea/japan 2002. he is an attacking mid, who also plays the wing. if the price is right, i feel he could be an 'impact' player in mls.

reasco is one of the somewhat regular starters at left back for the ecuadorian national team. he doesn't excel, but he's not bad. pretty consistent, also makes good runs up the left side. good pickup if he can come relatively cheap.

valencia would never come to mls, unless he gets injured in spain, or fails to impress. he has been ecuador's most impressive player in recent months...so much that he was quickly picked up by villareal (for a good fee, although i dont know how much). mls would probably have to pay alot to bring him over, so it's not feasible (IMO) to do so.

 

yea i get what you're saying. i always wanted some sort of thread like this to be started, so that fans could see some potential new faces. good job and hope to see at least some of these players in MLS

 

I'll have to agree with you there.. Any Euro/SA watching a KC or C-bus game (the oh-so-rare boring ones ) and bitching about it would be lambasted as a Eurosnob/SA snob right away... I say we should stray away from the double standards....

 

See some of these names? This is what i'm getting at..Being born in Peru.... I recall Pizarro was sold to Bayern Munich for 7 million pounds a year or two back... FArfan was sold to PSV for a couple of millions IIRC... and just like DMB his value right now has gone up beyond MLS level of purchasing power... SAme with a bunch of other players.....

I know we bought players like Diablo, Valderrama, etc... But unless MLS has decided to buy a bunch of star players once again, as it did to start the league in 96...a lot of the players you mention (in each list) are unfortunately out of our price range..... Still appreciate the effort put in developing these lists... Some of these names (in each list) i think we could use.... and would not be that costly...

 

having lived in Asuncion for some time i would appreciate it if you could do a Paraguayan list please.

 

Am sorry but this list or lists have NO merit and little research. What I see here are names from the national teams of each country cut and pasted... Most of these players are under contract, being scouted by bigger clubs, or are well worth over a million and a half dollars that MLS refuses to spend on any one who is not Landon Donovan or over 30 and European...

True MLS has NOT had luck with most south American players.... But that is because MLS always has picked the guppies while ignoring the Sharks... Today if MLS really wanted to we could have players from the national teams of Uruguay, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia... Instead we will see the galvan rey's and the Tammashiros ( the samuri no one ever heard from who played in the fusion)...

When MLS has wanted to their South AMerican talent have been dead on... Cristian Gomez (this talent was found by dc united) , Diego SOnora, Adrian Paz, Eduardo Hurtado, despite his later years he would score 14 goals a year, Ariel Graziani....
