      Each MLS team gets 3 “Designated Player” slots where the salary cap doesn’t apply, so he could get one of them along with Messi and Busquets.

        Did they drop all their DPs? Weren’t they in trouble last year for having 4 DPs or something?

      I’m an Orlando City fan; if you told me we signed Messi I would have been ecstatic!! Suarez and Busquets not so much.

      The way I see MLS there are 3 goals:

      1. Develop great young players who eventually end up in top flight European leagues

      2. Bring in retiring talent from top flight leagues to help develop young players

      3. Work to make the divide between 1 & 2 as close as possible

      (4 Overlap 1 & 2) (5 Become a top flight league)

    He’s been amazing for GrĂȘmio, but his physical issues are worrying. Every time I watch him play he’s in pain and I’m afraid he’s gonna get badly injured.
