re: Would top European talent come to MLS if it doubled their salary?

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.
