This. Hell, right now if I suddenly became an awesome soccer player and had equal offers from Spurs and Galaxy, I'm off to London.


But if that offer was 4 times higher in MLS you wouldn't take it?

4-8 million is around the salary range for players like Gerrard and Terry. If MLS pays like the typical American league these players can get over 20 mil a year

Nope. I know it sounds crazy, but I want to play with the bests. And I want to play in the leagues with tradition. And maybe after my prime, I come to the states for a big pay day.

The trick would be to convince a ton of players to come over at once. Tough to do.

I think you would have to start with a lower tier of players. The type of guys who can start for lower table top division clubs. You can't go straight to the world class players.
