They really do focus heavily on domestic and let’s not forget they have that MacNoughton guy and they signed Johnston last year. They obviously rate the Can PL.

Big_M Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 didnt play in an mls academy in the year prior to turning 16 so cant count as a domestic on an american team that way but could count as a domestic if he played in a canadian approved youth club in the year prior to turning 16 Shway, Canuckia and narduch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though they got rid of all their international roster slots. No, I imagine they just loan him down to Huntsville. 50 minutes ago, narduch said: Does he count as a homegrown? Nope.

Current and future MLS players will be affected in that: Any current MLS player who was a member of an MLS club academy in the year prior to the year in which they turned 16 will be considered a domestic player on MLS rosters in both the US and Canada beginning in 2017.

I stand to be corrected but I was definitely understanding that the rules surrounding domestic player eligibility/criteria are determined by MLS. Not sure how it would serve the CSA’s interest in player development to exclude CPL players from domestic status in what is ultimately likely to be the biggest potential transfer market for league exports. MLS definitely benefits from the status quo insofar as it protects its lower tier feeder leagues and incentivizes young players with MLS aspirations to choose them as a development pathway. But CSA? I just don’t see the angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t see the angle. I think what @Shway meant is that the change from the "Canadians are internationals on American teams" to the current "OK, some of them can count as domestics" came about because of pressure from the CSA. He isn't saying CSA wants players like Pacius to be restricted in his movement to MLS, he is saying they could be doing more to exert pressure on MLS to get them to change their rules. costarg and Shway 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people will then quote some bullshit about American labour laws won't allow some to be favoured over others ...the USL had Canadians as domestics for years, as soon as their wasn't any more Canadian teams in the league the rule was rightfully so changed back to Canadians without green cards are considered international players. A lot more Canadians/CPL players would be in MLS if not for these stupid rules they create.
