Instead, the teams are using it to turn the league into a mini-NASL. Sad. The DP rule was initiated to try and increase the level of talent, appeal, and development of the league.

That's who you want to build your club around. Sure, you can't market the guy like ol' Freddie here (he'll keep fans interested for about a month), but at least you have a chance of winning, which is much more effective at putting butts in seats for the long run.

Harsh, but... So you're right. There is that. Juliet, I remember reading an article a year or so ago that described Ljungberg as “the man who looks like Beckham thinks he looks.” Harsh, but…

I feel that he was chosen for some other reason, i.e. to increase the Butts in Seats/kit sales factor, as if he were Beckham. But he's not Beckham! Old apple, you sum up my feelings exactly.
