More Galaxy Keeper Thoughts

I stayed up and watched the first half of the game on ESPN Classic, so I did eventually get some of the commentary. (I would have watched the whole thing, but I’m old and that’s way past my bedtime.)

Included in the commentary were a few goalkeeper updates and rumors.

First, supplemental draft pick Charles Alamo was the one in goal for the Houston shutout. That’s good. But he ended the game with a major, serious knee injury. That’s bad.

Curious how you think the Galaxy will handle this one.

Second, in the game last night they mentioned that the rumor is that the Galaxy have been in talks with RSL about bringing in keeper Chris Seitz.

Not sure how I’d feel about this. I became a big Seitz fan during the U-20 World Cup last summer. Kid has some talent. I think his total compensation was about $90,000 last year, but he’s former Generation Adidas. So I’m assuming that wouldn’t count against the cap. That would be a good thing.

But what would we have to deal to get him? What/who do we have of value? And the kid is just 20 years old. Is that what the team needs right now?

I think I’d be more comfortable signing a USL veteran like Wicks. (Sorry, Portland Timbers fans. And it’s really not just because it would be best for the Seattle Sounders. No, really.)

I just hope we don’t do another panic trade. Hate those.
