Abel Xavier Heads Out the Door

By: Laurie | Comments 25 Comments

Sigh.
We all knew this was coming, right?
I’ve been expecting this day with about the same emotions I felt when I was getting ready to get my wisdom teeth out. It had to be done, it was going to hurt, and I’d probably feel better once I recovered.
According to SoccerInsider, who know all, [...]

Ronaldinho? Are You Serious?

By: jen | Comments 17 Comments

Hmm. Turns out the Galaxy front office has been trying to work a deal to bring Ronaldinho to the team. According to Goal.com, they won’t be successful. But it’s left me with a few questions. How can we afford that? Would we dump our bench and Ruiz or Donovan? [...]

The Transfer Window Opens In Less Than Two Weeks

By: jen | Comments 16 Comments

What do you think Lalas has in store for us this time?
Will Ruud have any say?
Will Vagenas finally be traded?  (I say no, he has legacy just like Cobi did, but we’ll see.)
Will we hang onto the young guys who are becoming good mid-level players?
Will Xavier go?
Is there any chance, any chance at all, of [...]

Trade Ruiz?

By: jen | Comments 23 Comments

Hmm.  Some interesting thoughts on the matter.  We could get some more defensive talent.  We don’t necessarily need his production on offense as much as we need better defense.  But I’m so gun shy of big trades like this from last year that I cringe.
I’m leaning towards just keeping at it, with the players we [...]

Joey Franchino?!? Huh..Wha…?

By: Laurie | Comments 15 Comments

I keep thinking that someday the Galaxy will make a trade that makes sense. I’m still waiting.
Soccer by Ives is saying Joey Franchino may be heading back our way.
According to a source within Major League Soccer, the Galaxy and New England Revolution are discussing a trade that would send Revs defender Joe [...]

Waive Bye-Bye: Martino, Gray, Babayaro

By: Laurie | Comments 7 Comments

The waiver news is in. Out the door to help the Galaxy make the salary cap: Kyle Martino, Kelly Gray and Celestine Babayaro.
I think we all knew Kyle Martino and Kelly Gray wouldn’t be back, right? When you don’t even go on the preseason tour, or get sent home in [...]

Still Waiting on Cap Deadline Moves

By: Laurie | Comments 8 Comments

Today is salary cap compliance deadline day — the day when we have to dump enough players to get under the cap.
As we’ve said before, this is no easy matter. The cap, at least according to unofficial sources, is $2.3 million this year. Of that, Beckham takes up $400,000, and Landon [...]

Harmse is Outta Here

By: Laurie | Comments No Comments

As a lot of people have been predicting for the past few months, Kevin Harmse is heading out of LA and into Toronto FC. For only a fourth-round draft pick.
The fact that he’s leaving is no big surprise. He was a Frank Yallop guy, and a Canadian. Thherefore he was more [...]

Vanney In, Kirk Out for the Galaxy

By: Laurie | Comments 3 Comments

Anybody ever catch reruns of the old, original “Star Trek” series? (It’s one of my husband’s favorite shows, so I’ve seen all the episodes in the interest of marital harmony.) In honor of Capt. James T, I would like to say into my communicator:
Kirk out.
(Yes, I am easily amused. [...]

Is Celestine Babayaro Headed Our Way?

By: Laurie | Comments 19 Comments

This rumor actually comes from a pretty legitimate source — Times Online of London — so I’m inclined to believe it has credibility. It says this is absolutely, positively a done deal.
“Celestine Babayaro has agreed a three-year deal with Los Angeles Galaxy after being released by Newcastle United. The left back, 29, [...]
