That said, the league does not like to spend major money on transfers as was noted above.
That said, if I'm Simeon Jackson, why the hell do I want to go to Toronto when he has such great potential for big money and a big career in the UK!
If he fails, we can have him in 5 years (like Rohan). If he does reasonably well with a bigger club, maybe we see him in 10. If he does really well, he'll retire over there like Pesch!
