Très bon article, excellent même.
J'aime beaucoup ce passage, au moins lui connaît la réalité du soccer...

Si la MLS veut vivre en autarcie, qu'elle aille paître et ne s'étonne pas si elle crève un jour. Et j'espère que Testo et tous ceux qui suivront se dégotteront un beau contrat en Europe, même dans une petite division, et rapporteront de l'argent à leur club et donc à la A-League.The lower level teams in England, Spain, and Italy absolutely depend on transfer fees from the upper leagues in order to survive. They can't sustain themselves just by ticket sales, concessions, and merchandise. They need cash, and what better way than to sell a player they discovered, trained, and prepared for the next level? If it's done this way in every other league in the world, why can't it be done in the U.S.?
It could be a lack of respect toward the A-League, which is commonly referred to as a "minor" league by most sportswriters. There are some MLS players who would prefer to languish at the end of an MLS bench than to try and improve their game by playing on a daily basis in a lower division.
Players like San Jose's Dwayne DeRosario and Pat Onstad can, and do, give a lot of credit to the A-League for helping to develop them as quality players who have gone on to have a significant impact in MLS. Many feel David Testo is another one of those players. If that's true, then Richmond, and the rest of the A-League, deserves to be compensated for taking a chance on a player that MLS wouldn't.
