Now that Garber et al have got over that "top 5 in the world" nonsense, Belgium is the type of league MLS wants to emulate - buy young, sell, good crowds, good technical skill, develop local youth.
If somehow the salary cap were to be 3x what we currently have, we might pry away a few of those VV/Poz type guys to come here instead. Not going to happen unfortunately but being the second or third choice for skilled players who can't make it in Germany, France, Spain or England is where MLS wants to be - right now its probably the 4th choice after Belgium, Netherlands, & Portugal.

If there is a player finalized to be announced next week, we should hear a rumour by this weekend.
