Findley Back To RSL

According to Yanks Abroad, Robbie Findley's trial with Brondby is over and he will be returning to RSL without an offer. That's not to say he didn't impress them though, having scored two goals in their friendly match on Sunday.

So the good news for RSL fans is that he's staying..............for now, as Brondby has admitted that his play was good enough that he would be in consideration if they were to need another striker down the road.

As far as i'm concerned, this right here is the problem with MLS right now. Your getting young, decent american talent which is opting to go overseas and play for teams in scandanavia rather than here presumably because of the money. (Although it could be the women are hotter over there but that's debatable.) The even bigger problem is that when these guys leave there's nobody good enough left to replace them so you end up with mediocre players in MLS starting 11's who bring the total quality of the game down a notch.

MLS really is a frustrating league to follow. What do you think?

I agree, but the kids go where the money is. I don't see why making $75,000+ is bad. You're living your dream, and making money doing it. What are you going to do with more money? I think MLS needs to increase the salary cap, but paying people excessive amounts is ludicrous. What makes them worth that much? If I were to play professionally, I would be happy playing for $75,000 plus. It'd be cool to play in Europe for a year or 2, but I would also prefer to increase the talent level in my country's league.
