Actually, you can argue with his logic. Its horribly inconsistent and conflicted.
Look at England, they have a great league right in their country, 38% of the starters in in the EPL (I believe) are English players. Yet the prevailing belief for England's struggles are that not enough English players get enough time in the EPL. Yet, Jurgen thinks we're going to win a world cup by pulling away a handful of the best and brightest and forcing them an ocean away?
Its terrible logic. So now he's undercutting the country's best long-term weapon, our domestic league, in order to try and gain some short-term benefits. Which is ridiculous considering Jurgen has recently re-stated he doesn't believe the US can win the World Cup for "many years."
To make it absolutely clear, Klinsmann is making moves for the short-term -- at the expense of the long-term-- even though he doesn't think it will work in the short-term. Its really indefensible. It doesn't help MLS, it doesn't help US Soccer, it doesn't help him, it might not even help the kids he's essentially forcing over there.
What Jurgen should be doing is telling all USA players riding the bench in Europe to come back to MLS immediately. They need to be playing. He should also be actively encouraging foreign players to join MLS and help improve the league. Look at Thierry Henry at Red Bulls. He is making everyone there better. You can see it that he demands it from his teammates.
If you are good in MLS, Europe will find you again and bring you back to Europe. Thus, improving MLS, improving the American talent pool to its maximum extent, and improving our odds of winning the World Cup.
