A couple months ago I posted my MLS wish list (below). First on the list was Sebastian Giovinco who I was confident would do very well in the MLS. Although he’s only 5′ 5” the Atomic Ant, as he is called has done extremely well in Serie A and while wearing #10 for Italy. He had limited time at Juventus but he scored 15 Serie A goals while at Parma.
Originally when I brought his name up people thought I was crazy, either because they thought he wouldn’t come or because they didn’t know much about him. Well Toronto FC thinks he is worth a good amount of money and maybe they took a look at the blog because as of a few days ago Giovinco is on his way. I will take it a step further and say he scores at least 11 MLS goals and by his second season more. TFC isn’t the strongest side in the league but he will for sure help.

HERE IS MY MLS WISH LIST
Before you say anything hear me out. I know that some of these names may seem washed-up and there were a few such as Totti and Klose that I left off because I know that the argument would be “the MLS is not a retirement league.” However, look what Marco Di Vaio and Beckham did. I think these names would improve the league significantly.
My MLS wish list:
Giovinco
Ross McCormack
Giuseppe Rossi
Xavi
Iniesta
Di Natale
Frank Lampard
Pirlo
Floccari
Pazzini
Jonathan Spector
I think it would make more sense if we looked in Holland, Germany, Italy, Serbia, Croatia, Belgium, Argentina and Brazil’s bottom of the table first division and/or second division teams to find younger talent before they are offered big time contracts.
It goes without saying that we should constantly be looking to have a strong infusion of young US talent coming in and being pulled up from USL and NASL.
Think about how much our young players could learn from some of these player’s experiences.
