NYCFC 2 Moves to Jersey, Drunk MLS Transfers, MLSNP + More
It’s Monday. Jason is back.Let’s get right into things. First off, it’s been quite the transfer season in Major League Soccer. Robert and Jason take a look at the drunken summer transfers in America’s top tier. Alexis Sanchez, of all people, was robbed at the Montreal airport. Breel Embolo is in Atlanta. Are any of them better signings than Josef Martinez? We continue down the MLS road down to the third division with Jason ranting about New York City FC moving its MLS Next Pro affiliate into a Minor League Baseball stadium in northern New Jersey. They dovetail from that and explain what, exactly, is MLS Next Pro? A feature of American soccer is having multiple national leagues at the same tier and we explore how MLS Next Pro fits into that landscape. Is it a reserve league? Is it a developmental league? What about its unaffiliated clubs and its relationship with the USL? So many questions. We have the answers. Also, a former NFL star is trying to pump attendance at Sporting Jax matches.
