I am happy Neagle is back on the team, he isn't great but he was not the problem with the 2015 shitstorm in the summer.

I approve of bringing on Neagle late in the game to do absolutely nothing, or score a ridiculous goal every now and then.

Boswell and Neagle both traded. Looks like offloading big contracts in preparation for a team sale.

I'm not sure Senderos has been good anywhere. In other news, DC making Deadline Day Deals, signing a 28-year old Hungarian winger from Kaiserslautern in the 2. Bundesliga. Is he going to save their season? Probably not but he SURELY can't be nearly as bad as every other attacking player they have.

whypick1 posted:Now can the Galaxy screw themselves even more by finishing dead last the year before LAFC comes to town? I know this was a joke but what the hell I'll consider it. On one hand, Minnesota, Colorado, and DC still exist and Are Bad. On the other hand, at least one of those teams appears to be way more active in the summer transfer window (which, again, closes in like six hours) than the Galaxy are, so really who knows? edit: case in point, in the time I spent writing this reply DC have been linked to Paul Arriola (Galaxy academy product, I think, so they'd have needed to grab his rights from LAG) from Tijuana AND Russell Canouse from Hoffenheim. Even Minnesota are trying to move out deadwood and otherwise staff their surprise "ten wingers and a GK" tactic. Meanwhile the Galaxy, somehow, seem dead silent on the market. I'm pretty sure the Wooden Spoon is the one domestic honour the Galaxy have never won (according to Wiki the 2008 team tied with San Jose for last place but finished ahead on a tiebreaker), so it would at least be novel!

True, and I forgot about those two (JDS especially should have an impact, both in himself and possibly in helping GDS be a more consistent force). On the other hand you're still relying on Zardes more than any sane team should. When does Lletget come back from his injury, are you expecting to see him this year? Honestly as good as Alessandrini has been, I feel like Lletget getting injured on USMNT duty was when your season really derailed. B.B.

So we signed a new team and spent money. Huh. So Paul Arriola comes at a discount because he's a youth DP, Zoltan can actually finish, We Got Our Defensive Midfielder, and we signed one of Travis Worra's high schools flings. Neat.

Anyone from Vancouver want to tell me about Christian Dean? Wasn't he a high draft pick? Why hasn't he done much in MLS? I mean, we have two really good centerbacks already so he should just be depth, but I'm curious. threeagainstfour posted:Almost as stupid as we were to sign him in the first place I was so mad about the "blind draw" and all the weird crap surrounding Jones coming to MLS.

Hello Towel posted:Anyone from Vancouver want to tell me about Christian Dean? Wasn't he a high draft pick? He was, in fact! 3rd overall in 2014, GA class and contract, etc, etc. quote:Why hasn't he done much in MLS? 1) Injuries. SO MANY INJURIES. 2) Tim Parker, who we drafted 13th a year later, turned out to be much better than he was and won the starting spot, and Dean hasn't really been able to develop enough (or stay healthy long enough, honestly it's been a bit of both) to be reliable enough/good enough to be 3rd or 4th on the first team CB depth chart, so we traded him to you guys for a change of scenery and grabbed Aaron Maund from RSL today instead. Hopefully he does well for you but, um, yeah. edit: speaking of changes of scenery, Ethan Finlay off to Minnesota for allocation money (to be fair, it's rather a lot of allocation money, 425k in total of various types over the next two years). I always had a soft spot for/kept tabs on him and thought he'd become a star (even though it turned out he WASN'T actually eligible for Canada) but he never quite made that last step and, well, I'll let the Crew's headline for the press release say it all: quote:TRADE | Crew SC acquires TAM & GAM in trade with Minnesota United FC Hopefully playing for his home team will inspire him a bit!

Dallan Invictus posted:Words about Christian Dean Thanks for the info. Like I said, he's almost definitely a depth signing. It feels nice to be able to take a chance on someone like that as a second- or third-string player rather than desperately signing other teams' castoffs and hoping they'll magically pan out as starters. What a difference a year makes.

Rapids are trying to make a trade: https://twitter.com/SoccerByIves/status/895445072572858369 And failing at it: https://twitter.com/KristianRDyer/status/895479269782061056 My reaction is basically "meh." Both fanbases are saying "take my player, please!" and Powers is out of contract at the end of the year anyway. If they'd done this a month ago to free up money for the transfer window, fine, but this is August 9, not July 9. I don't get it. Edit - Can anyone check if Gil has a higher rating in Football Manager than Powers? (rebuilt post. sorta) TheBoyBlunder fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Aug 10, 2017 |
