Sources close to Cole have told ESPN FC that there are MLS clubs interested in signing the defender at the end of the season and he has previously been linked to the New York Red Bulls, with former Arsenal teammate Thierry Henry reportedly trying to convince him to join the club.

Ashley Cole could be on our most hated list don't you think?

What does signing a in-his-prime American have to do with the MLS' stigma that the only Europeans they get are not international-caliber and/or over the hill?

The league made progress with the signing of Bradley and Defoe. But they're not going to sign Rooney overnight.
Why would any European in their prime leave Europe to a foreign league that is still in its infancy compared to most of the rest of the world?
My point was that the league is making progress, and you have to be realistic.
It's a "stigma," but it's not all MLS has
This league gets either:
- Americans or North Americans in general
- Older international stars from Europe
- South Americans in their prime

there not
and for the most part won't for a variety of reasons such as playing in the Champions League.

I love how when anything like this happens people run to post that Europe is better than MLS.
Thanks for that. Good to know.

These teams are trying to improve and signing a guy like Ashley Cole will improve most teams in the league. He may be aging and not as good as he once was, but he still can help plenty of MLS teams.
It may not help the perception some Europeans have but that isn't a reason for an MLS team not to improve their squad.

Isn't Cole going to start for England at LB this summer?
Posted on 2/9/14 at 3:29 pm to Sheep
probably not

MLS does a decent job picking up younger South Americans who might be destined to spend their entire career in South America or yo-yo b/w Europe and South America.
Generally, internationals from countries other than Brazil and Argentina, Argentines who won't sniff the NT with the exception of one-two fringe players, and young Brazilians who have yet to establish themselves.
