So what the fuck? First Omar Gonzalez, then Juninho, now young talent Luis Gil... in less than 3 days.

Why do you think they're doing this?

They're dumping their players into Liga MX. They get better players than MLS teams. They don't look for the big name talent like MLS does, they look into Argentina, , Ecuador, Colombia, Brasil. Yeah MLS has some small names that are good but a lot of of Liga Mx players are young, South American talent, unknown, and end up going to Europe.
 
1. Omar is a DP on a team with no slots.
2. Omar needed a change.
3. Gil was going no where with Salt Lake and they both needed a change.
4. Juninho, I have no idea. I guess they think with Gerrard and Dos Santos there's no room...?

Bigger story is what's going on at LA?
 
Got a feeling LAG has something big up its sleeves. Rumors of Ashley Cole & Jermaine Jones to LAG have surfaced recently. Guess we'll see what happens.

Arena has been in the business for a long time. He has a plan...I think
 
Rumors on Twitter flying around that cyle larin is in tigres uanl 's radar

I personally don't believe it but just throwing it out there.

Oh and Juninho was cost 1.5 million and Gonzalez is 750K pretty cheap if you ask me. Gil went free, must suck for RSL to get nothing after investing in him. Especially to a "rival" league...but maybe Gonzalez and Gil want to go to liga MX so klinsman can consider them for the national since it's clear he doesn't rate the MLS much

For liga mx these are cheap free players that if they don't pan out they can re sell and not much is lost from their perspective
 
To be honest, I wouldn't say that Liga MX is better than MLS.
Liga MX is better than MLS. I'm sorry, but that's the truth.

Take the CCL for example, MLS has won the tournament twice (1998 and 200) Liga MX teams have won the tournament over twenty times. Since the tournament has switched to its current format, Liga MX teams are the only ones to win it. Last year's final was a direct clash between Liga MX and MLS. While it was closer than most expected, the Liga MX representative (club America) beat the MLS representative (Impact Montreal).

Let's look at tv availability in the United States. (Excluding live streaming services)

Liga MX:
Univision
Univision Deportes
Televisia
Telemundo
ESPN Deportes
TDN
NBC Universario
Unimás
Azteca America
Fox Deportes

MLS:
ESPN2
ESPN Deportes
FS1
Fox Deportes
Few local channels for the local team

When a foreign league (Liga MX) gets more coverage than the domestic league (MLS) I think it's safe to say that the foreign league is superior to the domestic league.

Bonus fact:
Liga MX also sends teams to compete in Copa Libertadores. This past tournament Tigres went all the way to the final before losing to RiverPlate. Liga MX sends their top teams from it's two seasons to the CCL. This means that they send the best of the rest to compete in South America's biggest club tourney. And they almost won.

I think that foreign coverage is about the interest of the sport from Mexicans and descendants of Mexicans living in the States. We're probably the only country with a sport where this happens.
 
salaries and CCL says Liga MX is better. MLS plan won't work in the face of global competition. The league cannot grow if its rookies, like Larin, start to get poached.
