LA Galaxy and MLS 2015 Season

[ucsdguy1]

I shudder every time the Galaxy pick up a new player, and it's not a central defender. Of course, I've been doing that for a while, and they've collected a couple of MLS Cups since then, but it is more apparent than ever this year that they are lacking at the back.

But, Leonardo Leonardo!

Omar Gonzalez to Pachuca. Yikes

Sad to see Omar go. I hope this works out well for him. I really wonder what Galaxy are going to do at CB now.

Uh and Juninho to club Tijuana. Man.

Gonzalez was terrible last season and making too much money. Had to go for salary cap reasons. Losing Juninho is really going to hurt though. Not sure why they sold him unless he wanted to go and thought Mexico was a step up.

at least this guy's back

And more importantly so is Mike Magee. Just a dreadful decision to trade him in the first place.

Magee is on fire!

IIRC, Magee asked to be traded. He needed to be home in Chicago at the time. Plus, Rogers has been a great addition, and now we have both!!!

[VEGASKING]

I don't remember hearing anything about that but MLS news isn't as readily available. The Galaxy were going after a bigger name in Rogers who didn't want to play for Chicago and Magee was from the area so he accepted a trade there. Terrible decision at the time but it ended up working out due to Rogers position change actually working.

There was some conversation with the league but the agreement was made by the two clubs. It helped that Magee was receptive and happy to play at home.

The New York Times reported that "Arena said he would not have made the trade against Magee's wishes."


But, yeah. Hopefully he continues to be the clutch goal scorer he was in the playoffs previously this time around. And with the addition of Cole, Rogers is now playing what I think is a better position for him at right back. Full backs are much better in attack on the side of their strong foot.
