I honestly don't think Pep would do well in MLS. Much of his success comes on the back of a basically unlimited transfer budget, and I don't think he'd make it more than 20 seconds into an explanation about the difference between GAM and TAM before his eyes glazed over:
If he wants a new challenge try a fourth division club with no money in Sao Paulo or something.
Okay, I was willing to poo-poo Pep to NYCFC, but now you've got me thinking of Pep with my local fourth tier club and that would actually be a lot of fun.
