I think it's safe to say you've taken them as far as you can go. Go for Napoli! Take David Villa with you!

Nah, I still want to have a go at the CONCACAF Champions League and I want to see the club in such a state that I can expect them to keep dominating the MLS after I've left.

I'm eager for the off-season, at least. I've got some interesting moves planned.

Some league stats:

Will Johnson is pretty fucking good. A couple of Premier League clubs are after him, they better offer some serious money if they want him.

Villa only had 2 goals after 20 games were played, so he's scored 20 goals in half a season. Pretty good, I'd say.

Like I said before the season, the Lampard - Johnson midfield pairing is seriously good. Impressive of Villa to end up on top after his poor start of the season.

By far the largest soccer-specific stadium in the United States. Should solidify the club as the dominant club in the MLS long-term.

Impressive season from the little kid, though I am still considering signing a new goalkeeper.

Not bad for a free transfer making only $65k per season.

Yeah, I expected I'd get it. I deserve it too, taking an expansion team to the greatest MLS season in league history is nothing short of miraculous. I am truly a special one.

Getting four of my players into the team of the year really shows how dominant our team was. I really wish I could some how pull off a trade for Nagebe though, great player who'd make us much more dangerous on the wings.

And finally, the MLS MVP:

In all honesty I think Johnson should have won it, unfortunately he missed about 6 games because of an injury, I think he'd have won it otherwise.

Yankee Stadium is only their temporary home in real life, so I'd imagine it being a hard-coded thing.

A trade!

Pretty solid return for a backup player I picked up for nothing in the waiver draft.

David Villa's contract puts me $3m over budget and prevents me from making any signings at all, I can't find anyone who wants to buy him and the board won't let me release the fucker. I think this save is dead, unfortunately.

It ends in 2017. I'm not going to play two whole seasons without making a single signing.

If you have still got International Slots open to trade, when a team makes an offer like a 2 year deal for £180k try adding David Villa into that. Might be able to get rid of him that way.

As for signing players the best way that I found in the exact same position is to try and pick players up off waivers, especially players on reserve contracts. They may not be very good but do offer depth to the squad.

Can only trade him to teams with two open DP spots, not a lot of those around, unfortunately.
