And what the Spork’s CEO actually said is this….Lower level English teams live off of Man Us TV money which gives them a huge advantage over KC “living off of” Sounder’s ticket sales and waaaaay smaller MLS TV money.

I am just bitter. The Sounders are trying to do the same thing to a Spanish team with no money and I am rooting for it.

Read the letter SKC’s CEO sent out to the fans about the Kamara deal. He’s spot on in saying that if a player wants to try the waters in Europe, they’re going to do it, whether you sell them or they leave on a free. There’s no sense in MLS blocking a deal like this just to see Kei leave on a free in the next window.

First, Spurs loaned out the 3rd string keeper Gomez, not Lloris so Brad is still probably the backup there.

Second, I think the Kamara deal is the best hope for SKC to keep him. He was going into the last year of his deal and was wanting to move to Europe if he could. As part of the loan deal, it extended his deal with SKC so if he does not make it at Norwich he comes back is under contract. If he does make it the club gets some cash that they would not have otherwise. So it seems like the closest thing to a win-win for both Kamara and SKC as there could be.

The only one im mad about is the Kamara deal, He was a star in Sporting and for them to let him go is.. disappointing i know they are bringing in beiler to be his replacement but still, this is one of those deals i would of liked to see the mls block. The other two i think are good moves, brek wasnt doing much plus he has alot of upside that the euroclubs might be able to bring out of him, and he obviously wasnt happy in Dallas. And i nthe Andy Najar, he wasnt exactly a star for DC, and i think Anderchek can build and groom him into that star, plus the transfer fee was high on that one. What annoys me is how much mls loved it, if i was them i wouldnt like this they are losing some of there best talent which hurts there league even more, and they are already low on stars with David Beckham and others leaving. The real question is which players will step up there game this year and become that next Rodger Espinoza, the next fredy montero (though im nto sure thats who youd want to be). My money is on Marco De Viao. And then the revs big 3 up top. Hopefully one of the two players dc brought in can work out but they are both unchartered talent. In the cascadia i think valeri will not be so good, while Kobashi and Maddox will become stars, I really like what martin renne has done up there. Wish the sounders could of got a dp though. All though i think there fans are insufferable they deserve a high profile player.

Also am i the only one who picked up on the fact that friedel is going to be starting in Tottenheim. Their started just got sent out on Loan, plus the point the Galaxy signed there other at the begining of the transfer window sooo
