ugggh.....I was hoping it was just me regarding Fagundez.No and no.
Kuntz definitely making room, and space, and need for a DP striker.
Understood.It's guys I don't know well, which burned me on Cabral amongst others.
I agree, but have zero confidence Vanney can or will want to coach guys that Kuntz, not he, has brought in. You'd think Kuntz would want his own head coach too...Understood.
However Cabral (et al) were guys Vanney "knew".........VS guys Kuntz knows.
Seeing Kuntz vs Vanney track record in roster buidling,, I'm going to put my money on Kuntz evaluation of talent.
LOS ANGELES (Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2023) – The LA Galaxy today announced that the club acquired the player rights to forward Miguel Berry from Atlanta United in exchange for LA’s natural second round pick in the 2024 MLS SuperDraft.
Berry, 26, has recorded 11 goals and three assists in 75 career regular-season matches played (40 starts) across four MLS seasons with the Columbus Crew (2021-22), D.C. United (2022) and Atlanta United (2023). The forward logged one goal and one assist in 27 appearances (10 starts) for Atlanta during the 2023 MLS Regular Season. In his rookie season with Columbus, Berry logged eight goals and two assists in 18 matches played (9 starts) during the 2021 campaign.
I mean it's interesting, hasn't MLS really been sending second string or MLS Pro teams in the open cup until the much later rounds anyway? Was MLS' first release just a ploy to get better incentives for taking the tournament seriously?
US Soccer just gave MLS two middle fingers regarding the Open Cup and MLS wanting their third tier squads to be the only "MLS" participants in the Open Cup. Good for US Soccer! Bravo!
This offseason for the MLS as a league in terms of rules and decisions has been awful!!
