Great for development of MLS and Manchester City

I've always wondered if MLS could be a viable league for super clubs to loan out their U21 and academy players. I realize the seasons aren't aligned, but I feel like MLS is a desirable option to develop talent.

Championship-level talent like Giles Barnes, Bradley Wright-Phillips and Dom Dwyer have succeeded in MLS.

As an 19 year old borderline Premier League talent, wouldn't you rather hone your skills for a year in San Jose than say Barnsley or Bolton?

Depends on the wages. And English players hate leaving England.

I thought this was pretty much the plan from the start. Esp using guys from their you system.

a 19yr old brit will stay home. Most likely better competition and no drinking age

San Jose has gotten a couple guys like this from Tottenham. Simon Dawkins a couple years back was probably the best.
