     Exactly what i was thinking too. The MLS do have a salary cap and only Beckham and Henry earns A BIT CLOSE to $200,000-a-week and not the full $200,000-a-week, so NOPE Tagoe is not going to be earning that just for 6months deal. He is not much of a big star like Beckham to even think of earning that.
     This story is rubbish!

     Beckham gets 500k/month so that is just 125k/week. No one will earn more than him so this report is rubbish.

   Granted the quality of play in the MLS is not close to that of Germany or even the Swiss league, but it is $200 000. He is making close to double what Essien makes. Which one of you would not take it? Besides, the MLS is no worse than the crappy league he played in last year – expection of the artificial turf in many of the MLS stadiums.

   Point of correction JUMO. Essien got a £120000-a-week wages. Do the must! going for a 6month loan on that salary is not bad at all. I will make the same move. No matter how sweet you put it, it all boils down to the Benjamins anyway.

     Point of correction also ARCHIMEDES… Essien is NOT earning £120,000-a-week wages, know the facts before you speak.
     Essien is earning £90,000-a-week!

     Also only Beckham and Henry is earning a bit close to $200,000-a-week so no Tagoe is not going to be offered £200,000-a-week deal! This is not true!

   $200k? Then whats Henry and Beckham getting $400k? This doesnt sound right but hey if its true Tagoe should go cause there is no team in Europe which will pay him that sort of money.

   Anyway Tagoe has no business in any of the major club nations in Europe cause he is 4/10 striker at best. He can only play well in Eastern Europe lol.

   Hes just another long list of average/crap players in the Black Stars.

   It takes Ghana 10 to 11 years to produce ONE good striker who can hold themselves up in the top Euro leagues.
   When I was little we had Yeboah, ten years on Gyan is trying. Whos next?

    If you put money before your carreer it will be very bad for you. Think twice bro. MLS is for the soccer pensioners.

    This is a stupid idea. Tagoe will kill himself if he go to USA. Ridicoulous.

    Seattle will not be paying him $200,000 per week or anywhere close to that number. GM Adrian Hanaur said they wouldn’t pay that much for any player. That is way above his market value. This will probably be a six month loan at his market value to end the MLS season and give Seattle a shot at winning the MLS Cup before joining the Swiss club. He will also have the opportunity to play in front of 36,000 every home game, so Seattle is not like the rest of MLS.

    Why shouldn’t Tagoe start for the Black Stars if he comes to Seattle? We have Alvaro Fernandez, a 25 year old Uruguayan player who played at the World Cup in South Africa along side Diego Forlan who still gets called up for Uruguay. If a move to Seattle was good enough for the manager of the 4th place team in the 2010 World Cup then it should be good enough for the manager of Ghana. Our team has plenty of skilled international players such as Fredy Montero from Colombia who is destined to be a future star in Europe and Mauro Rosales who played at Ajax, River Plate and represented Argentina. You guys need to get a grip. MLS is a better league than your giving it credit for.

    Rafa Marquez moved from FC Barcelona to Red Bull New York in MLS and he not only still plays for his national team, Mexico, but remains their captain. There is no reason Prince Tagoe should have his national team career placed in jeopardy from moving to MLS. The standard is about the same as the English Championship and no one would question him moving there.
