I notice in this morning's news that Freddie Ljungberg played his first match as a Chicago Fire player following his trade from the Sounders. And apparently contributed thirty minutes of play without giving anything away. As I read the articles talking about the deal with the Sounders, I began to wonder at what point a "designated player" loses that standing and no longer qualifies to fall outside the salary constraints? A
player like Ljungberg at 33 is at some point going to fall into a different category. No disrespect intended but there are a limited number of these 'designated' slots and so who those folks are becomes a marketplace discussion I would think. I sniffed around the MLS website but didn't find anything that clarified the answer, so I shot an email off to them asking for a clarification. Stay tuned for answers.
