ELI5 which loopholes are they employing to allow for this?

[-] spiritedpause@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Each MLS team gets 3 "Designated Player" slots where the salary cap doesn't apply, so he could get one of them along with Messi and Busquets.

Did they drop all their DPs? Weren't they in trouble last year for having 4 DPs or something?

This could never end poorly for Miami. Just keep buying way past prime players for a ton of money like the Saudis.

I’m an Orlando City fan; if you told me we signed Messi I would have been ecstatic!! Suarez and Busquets not so much.

The way I see MLS there are 3 goals:

  1. Develop great young players who eventually end up in top flight European leagues

  2. Bring in retiring talent from top flight leagues to help develop young players

  3. Work to make the divide between 1 & 2 as close as possible

(4 Overlap 1 & 2) (5 Become a top flight league)

He's been amazing for Grêmio, but his physical issues are worrying. Every time I watch him play he's in pain and I'm afraid he's gonna get badly injured.
