Please dough naught yell in da caseenoh!
Joe, with the salary cap so low, a weak dollar and a small senior roster size, MLS GM’s have to be creative and resourceful to acquire talent.
These look like good moves for Toronto and San Jose.
It’s good to see that teams are signing good foreign players that aren’t necessarily DP players.
This is also one of the way for the league to grow.
Reid; Funny stuff!!
