The Galaxy’s New Acquisitions

By: Laurie | January 18th, 2008

I’ll do a lot more on our new boys in the coming days, but for now I’ll give you their names:

Sean Franklin, DM
Ely Allen, F
Julian Valentin D
Matt Allen G
Brandon McDonald F
Matt Hatzke M/D

And one pick traded to Toronto for more allocation money.

What do you think? The commentators on MLSnet said LA did good, but “not great.” And our new boys are saying, “Thank you very much.”

  This priceless comment was posted on Goff’s blog a couple of days ago:

  “BREAKING NEWS: The Galaxy have just solved their defensive problems! They just signed goalkeeper Lev Yashin and defender Bobby Moore.

  “And, since they’re both dead, they won’t count against the salary cap…”

  Dick: Giggle. And I hear George Best is available as well.

  j, you’re right. I remember typing that name at some time during the draft.

  I know Matt Allen pretty well on the personal level… i used to train with him 3 times a week for about years… we grew up competing together… he left high school a year early to play for creighton… creighton has a very prestigious college program and he established himself as probably the best keeper they have ever produced… he has an amazing work ethic and great size… i think he will develop into a great young keeper and possibly steal a few starts from Cronin
