Weird one with Stu. Pretty sure he’d still be a starter for most championship sides (when fit), could still do a job for bottom half PL sides even for 15 games a season. Thought at the very least he’d head back to the SPL. Some Canadian team seems like an almighty drop off.

It's still the MLS. I can see why that would be attractive for Stu. It's far from the joke league it used to be. Certainly better than the SPL.

I know nothing of the MLS (didn’t even know Canadian teams played in it), so can’t comment on the quality from my own experience. Whenever I hear about it though, it’s that it’s awful quality so surprised to hear an alternate view that it’s better than the SPL. I saw the MLS essentially as a retirement league, the final pay day, but the version where that doesn’t mean having to live in Saudi (or Turkey or China). Just thought Stu would still have a Celtic return or Burnley type club in him. He still made us tick before his season was ended through injury.

He's always wanted to move abroad before calling it quits, so I get it and not that surprised he has wound up in MLS given his injury history. He'll be a useful player for the Whitecaps if they can keep him fit. They're actually pretty decent, given they're in the Western Conference where any/every good player tends to get tempted or try to move as west as possible and live in California. They're keeping pace with the top teams in the west

I've watched MLS casually, flitting in and out, and the standard has improved so much. Dedicated football-first facilities now, better playing surfaces and players moving in and out of the league for decent fees. US teams tend to look to South America a lot to recruit
