He has to mean Gio Dos Santos.
To be clear, I'm not saying they're European superstars, but they're above the average player's skill level in MLS. I think that's evident in Giovinco's dominance last season. That's what we really need more of, though. The younger, talented players who can come here and set a standard.
In my eyes, Giovinco's better for the league in the long run than Nigel de Jong or Frank Lampard. I also think it's better for the league and US Soccer than giving anyone who happens to have made a USMNT roster a king's ransom to come home or stay home.
Hell, Mix has basically been reduced to a shell of a footballer since coming here. Even the one player I fanboy over as much as some of the Donovan guys, Michael Bradley, has taken a major step back since coming home. Played out of position or not, consistency in his touch has disappeared.

Mix was always mediocre, he plays in a better league now than when he was in Norway and it shows.

Giovinco and Dos Santos were excellent for the league. Signing anyone over 33 for a ton of money just isn't really that great for the league.
