I went from hating this move to loving it.

Essentially he would have been battling for time and not really been in great form come WC time.

In this move he plays out the MLS season, gets a nice long winter break, then gets to play and be in midseason form with Donovan come the WC. This way 2 of our most influential players will be in mid season form, and given that LD and CD are older it will be good that they have less wear and tear on their body come WC time.

Stoked about the move. Will only draw interest to MLS both from American fans living here who follow the nats and I'm sure some people abroad, all of whom are interested in seeing how Dempsey does back in the MLS.

I am fricking stoked for this. An MLS team pulls in a major talent and name before that player is broken and worn down? A player who is a home grown, legit Natty team star? A player who is now the highest paid league player? This is a move that forces the Portlands and Vancouver's to make moves of their own. An arms race right now, with soccer as popular as it is, is pure $$$$ for the MLS.

And posters in here, who mostly seem to want the MLS to succeed, are bitching? Your boy is getting paid, your boy will play, and the fans will love it and eat it up.

And people are bitching and disappointed? Get the frick out of here.
