MLS says signing is strategic - Los Angeles Times
Quote:
Someone said, 'Will there either be another Cosmos or another Pele situation?' I said at the time, 'The only way is if Beckham comes.' Quite possibly they could do that. Beckham has the cache to create the same buzz Pele did in this country."
Crowder did advocate building upon the Beckham momentum and his MLS wish list extended to a certain Brazilian now plying his trade in Spain: Barcelona's Ronaldinho.
"He's already won the World Cup … he's going to win La Liga, maybe he can be enticed to do the same thing as Pele," Crowder said. "If Ronaldinho thinks he can better Pele, being a Brazilian, 'I can do what Pele did but better.' That would be the next thing."

There will be a full dozen Designated Players in MLS for the 2008 season. The question is will they be guys still in their prime (Davids/Ronaldinho), or guys past it (Ronaldo/Figo)
