Another week of wheelin’ and dealin’ in MLS. Here is an updated list of what’s gone on during this season in terms of player movement.

Here’s some food for thought though too. Look at this list, you see something interesting? Yeah, a whole slew of Americans returned to MLS this summer. Brian McBride, Eddie Lewis, Robbie Russel, Josh Wolff, Kasey Keller (next year with Seattle but close enough), Nate Jaqua, etc. I think its an intereting trend that we will see continue to happen here.

Anyways, back to the list. As always if you see anything that needs corrected, please comment below and I will get it taken care of as soon as possible.
