If he’s good, in three or four years, he can move to Europe and get the same options. It’s not like he’s 24 and this will eat his prime years.
MLS stinks
I've tried with the MLS, I really have. But it's like the XFL of soccer with all the rules and gimmicks.
I mean we joke around about "can they do it on a cold, wet, windy Tuesday night in Stoke ?" but how bout can you do it on a cold night in March on a ****ing baseball field??
What rules and gimmicks? Sure, the talent is crap in comparison to watching the top Euro leagues on tv.

GAM, TAM, DP, discovery right, international allocations, the rules on selling players and reinvesting funds. It's a cluster.
I mean read this on sales:
Everything you need to know about selling players in MLS
It's just needlessly convoluted.
I also don't like the playoffs cause for the most part, they're boring and rewards teams that were mediocre during the season. But no one questions it, cause they're busy screaming for pro/rel in a league full of owners who go out of their way to minimize their financial exposure.

Ok, that's fair. I was thinking you were referring to on-field, but I agree, most people do not understand how transfers and salaries work, and that's not a positive thing for the league.
Playoffs are just apart of American culture, and pro/rel just wouldn't for many more reasons than just the owners.
I try watching MLS once a year, and am reminded once a year why I only watch MLS once a year.I've tried with the MLS, I really have. But it's like the XFL of soccer with all the rules and gimmicks.

Seems like City have identified Fred as their Fernandinho replacement.
I don't begrudge those who watch it, at all. I got into the Red Bulls when henry was there and even now, they play some pretty soccer that I'll occasionally watch. But the schedules are crazy, the timing with international breaks leaves summer looking like a college league in some years. It just isn't for me.
Ill say this - of all the teams - Atlanta is pretty cool. They get massive crowds and are generally fun to watch. But barco should have gone to Europe. If McKinnie and Haji Wright turned around and wanted to come to Atlanta over staying at Schalke, I would say the same.
Nice. So we're replacing Coutinho with not one but two better players. Very exciting.
Hearing Keita will be a Liverpool player on Sunday.
Journalist that’s a Liverpool homer says Keita might move Sunday.

Europe.
Seems silly to compare van Dijk to Coutinho. Can't put my finger on why that is.
Both van Dijk and Keita are better players than Coutinho at their respective positions, and bring better balance to the team as you noted.Still count zero player better than Coutinho. But better balance on the team sure.
No one sells their keeper in January. It’s fine, I just hope they are going all in on Oblak in the summer. Especially if PSG have moved on. There is no other move for Oblak without other dominos falling.Unfortunately there are no plans to buy a keeper. That's a bit ****.
