Talk:List of current MLS players

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Esteban Arias, Rene Corona

Does anyone out there know anything about the magical mystery roster of Chivas USA? For all I know, these guys went down in a plane crash in the Andes. No mention anywhere. Bill Oaf 00:26, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Criteria for inclusion

I've been keeping this updated for a little while, but I'm unsure on the criteria. I'm assuming this isn't like List of foreign MLS players, where one must play in a league match. I guess we're including anyone currently contracted by the league, right? Plus, of course, formerly contracted players who aren't definitively gone. Bill Oaf 14:21, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I think so. --necronudist 14:41, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I clarified the inclusion rules in the list header. I've been adding signed draftees such as those at Houston and Dallas, and Balerion has added New England's signees. Bill Oaf 15:26, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Additionally, I've added a provision for loaned players, who are now noted with daggers throughout the list. There are 5 in MLS, as far as I know (Borboa, Barrera, Toja, Schopp, MiƱa). In today's update, I added 42 total players who are known to be signed with the league but weren't on here yet, had been overlooked, etc. I removed 4 guys who are definitely gone. A few others are hanging by a thread, like Tonny Sanneh and Ryan Johnson. Bill Oaf 17:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Also, now updating related pages (player bios, squad templates, team-article rosters, and other lists) as needed. Bill Oaf 17:58, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
