This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I don't think he's that beholden to MLS by wcnitz

In the qualifiers that have mattered, the best players have generally played (yeah, can bring up some exceptions but they are just that).

I don't think keepers need to go to Europe, necessarily. It's more about them being able to play with their feet in our current system. Turner is who he is, he probably won't ever become a great ball playing keeper but he's a terrific shot stopper.

Pulisic probably does need a move. Chelsea just have no offensive identity these days. Everyone else currently in Europe is probably where they should be right now. Scally is starting a *lot*, Konrad is starting to play, CCV is doing well in Scotland, etc.

The guys who need to move overseas from the US are Clark, Miles Robinson and Bello, off the top of my head. Robinson has a much higher ceiling IMO, and Bello is very gifted and could use seasoning at a higher level even if it limits his playing time in the short term. He's more of a 2026 guy anyway. Clark (and Cade Cowell) are a mountain of potential that could be tapped.
