Too bad the allocation process isn't clearer though, fans love discussing player moves and it's an understatement to say that the MLS doesn't do a great job with transparency. It is kinda confusing that a Brian McBride or Maurice Edu goes through the proper allocation process but (someone on a dp deal I guess?) Dempsey bypasses it and goes to Seattle.

The league announced this morning that Edu would go through the normal allocation process. Essentially, the rule is "USMNT players go through allocation unless MLS doesn't want them to."
