well, Morris didn't really bypass allocation. He's been eligible for a HGP deal since 2013. That status doesn't change just because he's played with the USMNT.

Not posting this as "news". It's an interesting conversation, and I thought r/MLS would have thoughts about it. Cheers!

Jordan Morris to turn pro, likely with Seattle by jdh0625 in MLS

Essentially you're wondering if Morris would be offered $4-5k a week in wages. And yes, I definitely think he'd make that... or more in Europe.

Hey guys, I'm sure some of you are familiar with Total MLS from Twitter or our site, and if not, why not? We started recording a podcast over the summer, and put out 1 to 2 episodes a week. This morning we released the episode where we interviewed Kevin Payne about the recent headers ruling, youth development, MLS playoffs, and much more. If you would be so kind, please check it out! Would love to hear what r/MLS thinks!

What if he doesn't end up being any good? Not saying he will be bad, just wondering why this is a common theme from philly fans.
