DeAndre Yedlin entered for Sunderland in the 75th minute today, with his side trailing Liverpool 2-0 & helped them fight back to a 2-2 draw.

Does anyone know what Kofi Sarkodie's plans are? 

 

Good question. I've been looking and haven't seen anything about Kofi other than being out of contract with Houston.

 

Also, I know that Perry Kitchen and DCU couldn't agree on terms, and he is looking to potentially go to Europe. However, he has not found a team.

 

Great picture of Wil, Darlington and Perry at USMNT Camp:

Surely some MLS team will snatch Perry Kitchen soon.  Perhaps Klinnsman is pushing him toward Europe, but I do not believe so.

So, it looks as though he is off to Europe. 

MLS rules are baffling.  How is it fair, or even rational, that DC United would retain rights to Kitchen without signing him to a contract?

Totally agree MLS is beyond screwed up. How is it that Zarek Valentin was in Europe for 3+ years, I believe, and yet Portland had to trade with Montreal for his MLS rights? My understanding was that Zarek was over there no longer "on loan".

How does an unattached player benefit from USMNT camp?

Perry Kitchen is keeping fit with his country as he searches for a new club.

@ChrisCanetti just confirmed that Kofi Sarkodie is indeed a Free Agent.

CORRECTION:

@AustinDynamo I didn't say he is a free agent because that is not a fact. I said he is unsigned. We retain his MLS rights.

@ChrisCanetti @AustinDynamo Kofi does not meet criteria for free agency. He is not 28 years old.

This is truly unbelievable!   A player who has logged more minutes than any other in the MLS over past five seasons cannot find a job?  Really?

 

MLS rules are unique, unlike any other league anywhere.  Player fulfills length of contract; plays through it.  Parties fail to make deal.

How then is said player restricted from signing with whomever he chooses?

 

MLS rules are wack!

I'm not sure what Perry is expecting to find. $400k is a pretty good deal by MLS standards. Given that level of money and that DCU has his MLS rights, I'm not sure a deal is there elsewhere in MLS. I don't know enough about salaries in various European leagues to comment.

Where did you find this data?

I heard this on a broadcast last season.  I presume this is still true, that Kitchen has played more MLS minutes than any other player since 2011.

 

So, what if he is now played the 3rd or 12th most MLS minutes in the past 5 seasons?  The point is that Kitchen is capable, dependable and durable, a good investment.

I don't know if he's 1st, 2nd, 3rd......  For a while now, I've been looking for site where I can aggregate data across multiple MLS seasons. I've yet to find one.

Just read an article today that Perry is very much interested in going to Europe. Not so driven by MLS money. I can't post now from my phone but will try to post later. 

 

Edit:. http://wapo.st/1OrFPQU?tid=ss_tw

 

article is titled about obafemi martins but scroll down and there is info about Perry.

Teal Bunbury scored a goal last night for the revolution.

No Darlington Nagbe in the starting lineup for the Timbers...but there were still 2 zips in their starting lineup

Timbers XI vs. VAN: Gleeson, Peay, Manning, Valentin, Thoma, Jewsbury (c), Grabavoy, Zemanski, Brett, McInerney, Polk
