Liverpool are a bigger team as you put it than Everton , there's no way in a billion years I'd have signed Andy Carroll for 15 m never mind 35 , so what's your point????? , I wouldn't sign one player out if the MLS for Everton because of a phrase I like to use " we have enough problem's "
well put you little spanish master
 

He´s sh*t. Saw him a lot in Hammarby in Sweden and he has pace like Walcott but goal scoring skills like hibbert. Don´t buy him Moyes!

My point is that you basically said all players in MLS suck and they are problems. Other teams are recognizing the value of MLS players and scouting them. That's smart, not stupid.

A lot of people love to walk around saying the MLS is ****e despite having never watched it.

I don't watch it, so i don't walk around pretending to know about it. Common sense really.
 
Two points:
- MLS has a wider variety of talent than most leagues. They have good players that really can play anywhere in the world, and they have **** players that would struggle nearly everywhere else. If you distributed the players on a boss-gash grid, you would see a wider pattern than most leagues.
- Even by watching the league, its hard to discern its place. This is true for any league, really. All you can really determine is how good a player is as compared to others on the pitch. Put him in a different league, and he is a different player. See, Bilyaletdinov, Diniyar.

Yeah but we've got Heskey mate.
 
I definitely rated Davies before his accident, haven't really seen him since. I know someone who's pretty tight with him from his days at Boston College, he's supposedly a good dude as well...not that that matters, haha.
 
Before the accident I was thinking he could be the next AJ.

On the USMNT he provided much needed space for the midfield for Donovan etal. He also was pretty good passer/playmaker and often dragged away a CB leaving Altidore with one-on-ones. Even then Altidore could turn anyone one-on-one. Before Davies the USMNT was a physical uncreative team that relied on quality goal keeping and set pieces. Once Davies was put into the side we played some sick footie; the few months he was on the squad the USMNT never looked better. After he was injured then we resorted back into the same physical plodding footie.

Given that our squad is kind of similar to the USMNT (no pace; mids who can't really create but have a nose for goal) if he gets back to 80-90% of what he was he'd be worth a flyer. If you are going to throw money away then I would have rather would have used it on Davies than Hahnemann. Though the odds are long that he could make it in the prem I think at its reasonable to say he could be a decent player in the championship; and decent strikers in the Championship can be sold for 1.5-4M which isn't a bad return if you could buy him for a few thousand quid/week.
