Quoting because this can't be said enough.
I would like a system with a luxury tax. Let us and LA spend $30 Million on salaries. But for every dollar over X, we pay a luxury tax. That money then has to be spent by the clubs who choose to not go over a certain salary threshold. There should be salary caps and salary FLOORS for some of these clubs. What Philly and Colorado do is embarassing.
philly mind as well buy two philly cheese steaks and pair them together up top. Could distract some hungry defenders at least.
So it looks like the announcement won't be today. Expecting it to be tomorrow. So will it be...
- Before 12 PM?
- Between 12 PM - 2 PM?
- Between 2 PM - 4 PM?

I think that would probably be even worse than just getting rid of the salary cap completely. Because very few teams would be able to pay the tax. And it encourages the other owners to be as cheap as possible because they get free money. So you'd still end up with a situation where a few teams are blowing out everyone else financially.
Better be in the AM. Only news you try to throw away into the weekend vacuum gets announced on a Friday afternoon. Best idea would be Sunday around 5:55PM.
So

Kjbert when pirlo signs, will you finally have an avatar picture ? 
It needs to be coupled with a salary floor.
There will probably always be a salary cap, but I love the fact that homegrown players don't count. With homegrowns and DP's, there are two very different avenues for teams to build above and beyond the average roster. Anyone is welcome to develop a competitive roster internally. You can also attempt to buy a roster, but with limited spots it will only make you good, not great.
The thing to watch is the evolution of free agency. I expect it to eventually settle around 6 years of MLS play for homegrowns, plus the removal of free agency for foreign signings and all that "discovery list" bullshit around it.
More than anything, they need a plan. Why the hell did the owners seem so caught off guard by the players asking for free agency? With a growing league, any large scale changes are only going to get my difficult, and it doesn't seem like they even have a roadmap. It's just this patchwork rulebook that is eventually going to require massive cleaning.
So K Kjbert when pirlo signs, will you finally have an avatar picture ?
I would have one if I knew technology. But now, maybe I should be a rebel and never have one. Or put a different question mark.
Don't you need to be able to kick the ball to play defense?I loved the idea fromMidas Mulligan about Nemec being a CB. Makes a lot of sense, especially in MLS.
But what are the odds then that his first goal of the season is an own goal?
It's a near certainty. Could still happen
Come to think of it, he could become our leading scorer.
Since his name hasn't been mentioned recently, I would just like to say:
