So the problem is there's not enough scouts in the US to find talents?[/quote]

Nobody does any scouting. They wait for parents to bring the kids to them, along with a large check.

You made it sound like these pro clubs don't want to find the next Messi or Neymar on US soil. That makes no sense.[/quote]

If the next Messi or Neymar is American, he won't be playing in MLS. And the structure of MLS creates a disincentive for individual clubs to develop a player like that and sell him to Europe, because they won't get to keep the money. Because MLS isn't a real league, it's a cartel.

It's not the job of MLS to foster American talent...it's to make money as a league. Don't confuse MLS with USSF. 
And American talent doesn't have to play in the MLS, which is why most of the best American talent is heading to Europe. [/quote]

I agree, but if MLS doesn't scout and develop neither does USSF or then there'll never be a US MessiNeymar... unless/until some rich international clubs had too much money to spend set up shop here.[/quote]
