Discovery rights have to be one of the most idiotic rules I've ever heard of in sports. I really hope that is the next thing they dump.

Are his rights controlled by the discovery rules, the USMNT player rules or the NASL/USL rules? Or a blind draw? Single entity is really, really dumb
As MLS gets new fans, and specifically if sports networks start covering it more seriously, it is going to be torn to shreds for the single entity.

A team who has no shot at signing a DP can put a discovery tag on him in order to get compensation from a club that can sign him?
Yes. That is completely moronic. Why should a team be able to claim a player they literally have no intention of ever signing? It's just counterproductive for the league as a whole.
I think MLS thinks that there are people who are fans not of a particular team but of MLS as an entity. Power breeds arrogance.
Everything about their new brand re-launch speaks to the opposite. They're trying to get the league identity out of the way because the teams are the primary touch-point with fans.
That said, I'm probably in the minority on this one but I am a fan of the MLS. Each weekend I'm looking for good games around the league, and pull for MLS squads in the CCL and other matches (friendly or otherwise) against talent from outside the league to show that our teams can play with the best of them.
Now that it is being reported that #14 is in his final days in Harrison, NJ - anyone want to revisit this crazy prediction scenario of mine? Would loveeeee to see Henry win his only MLS Cup in NYCFC Blue!
Orlando has been interested in Ibarra.
Gyau would be great, but he is competing for first team minutes in Dortmund.
if I you told me that he would be getting first team action in Dortmund a couple months ago I would have thought you were out your mind.
If possible, junior flores coming here would be amazing. I saw him play for the youth team and he left me with my jaw to the ground.
side note.....how awesome would this potential team look as a national team in a couple of years?

Question: if Ibarra is called up to the national team doesn't that make him a USMNT player? If that's the case wouldn't he be subject to USMNT/former MLS player allocation?
According to this article NYCFC is interested in Juan Agudelo. Meh...

First he actually has to play and I'm not sure a friendly actually cap ties you.
Friendlies do not cap tie you.
He would only be subject to that if he is a free agent. If you have a discovery claim on him and send enough allocation, then u are able to sign him.
I wouldn't mind him. He's still young and grew up not too far from the city. Don't think I'd want him as the main targetman however.
Seems like a guy that could use a change of scenery but he has behavior issues. Maybe Villa could mentor him?
Agudelo would be awesome for us. He or mix would be my preference for national team guys
Agudelo is MLS proven, from the area. He would be really dangerous up top. When he was with the revs, he was really fantastic.
Mix hasnt played in MLS but with the USMNT he has looked great, a real generator of chances.
I like both a lot, hopefully we get one!
