Klaus, if i told you today that we are signing Bradley for 60-80 000 pounds a week, what would you say?
I'd say "Get the fuck in!" He's a quality player.
The point is that the argument doesn't hold up. Average players who don't have any illusions of making the top level stay in their domestic leagues. The top players don't. This is true for every country outside the 3-4 big European leagues. You have ten years to make a career if you're very lucky. To piss away your prime in the MLS under those circumstances is the very definition of lacking ambition. It doesn't mean it's illegal but it deserves to be scoffed at.
