Ben, I’m so with you on this one. I’ve seen far too many good players go for the money and prestige that come with a huge team, and then spend their entire career there warming the bench.

id rather see him start every weekend at somewhere like aston villa or fulham than sit the arsenal bench for the next few years

Sabin makes a very good point.While im glad to see yet another Great player in the Premier league i think if the MLS is to ever be one of the worlds best leagues the best American players need to stay there.

before anyone talks about anything else to fix in the MLS 3 things must be mentioned 1) fix the salary cap so that the developmental contracts give the young guys more than 12,500 per year 2) make it a single table 3) Get rid of the playoffs and instigate an actual cup fun like the rest of the world

…and a bigger roster for each MLS team. I will continue to keep my hopes and dreams alive.

That is a nice feeling melissa. but before that happens, there must be many more teams and the superliga should be extended to a lot more lubs. and maybe the mls should enter the copa libertadores.

I’m all for individual players taking the best offers to improve their game, stay relevant, and get that money but I also want MLS to be an awesome league filled with excellent futból. I do think MLS is going in the right direction by participating in continent-wide tournaments and elevating the exposure of the league in general (yeah, thanks Becks). I hope in a couple of years great players like Guzan can spend their entire careers in MLS and not feel like they’re loosing their competitive edge or whatever (lord knows I feel a little too attached to my 2007 Chivas right now and don’t want to see them scatter to the wind next season).

For myself, I’m not psyched to see more talent shipped out of the US. I know that the EPL is where it’s “at”, but there should be more motivation for players to remain in the states, too.

No matter where he goes, he will always be El Guzano to Chivas fans.

I think GUzan is pretty good. good enough to play in the PL but with Arsene Wenger’s policy, he’ll probably take an older keeper. He likes his players young except for keepers.
Seaman played til like fourty, lehmann is pushing 40 and almunia is already 30.
