  1. I cant figure out what I think on China. Rooney rumors? What is the game plan?

    They have enough people, and are starting to get enough money to be dominate, but what is the game plan? Take all the talent worldwide or just declining names? Develop their own?

    The knock on MLS is exactly that, Rooney rumors…I was afraid to click on the link, because it mentioned Rooney. Some MLS team will be selling jerseys with his name on them in the US soon.
    But MLS has a LOT going for it.

    Is there a Chinese Jordan Morris? Who is the Chinese Peter Vermes of 20 years ago. Do they have a great game plan?
