Care to link me to an article or video where he's said this is financially motivated.
Offer from best league(or joint best league) in the world on table refused... reportedly interest from other top leagues already..... states he's going to the MLS, significantly worse quality league that has one factor going for it, money.
Now, if he had stated his intention to live over there longer term then being in the MLS isn't a half bad way to do that but he's said the opposite, he intends to come back to the UK. That leaves the sole reason for going to the MLS financial, or do you believe he's going for the high level of the football over there and the competition?
He effectively has said he doesn't care which team in the MLS he's going to, which ever stumps up the best offer gets his signature. So it's not like he's gone over and been wined and dined by a specific club with a big plan or he'd be saying "oh, I went to the Galaxy and their setup, their plans for the future are amazing, I'm signing there". He's said I don't know where I'm going in the states but I'm definitely going to the states.... with the unspoken portion of the sentence reading "because they are offering way more than anyone else".
