Well, folks... I tried - I tried to not think about soccer for a couple of days. Man, what was I thinking??? There's no way I can stay away from this beautiful game. It's New Year's eve, ladies & gents. Time to put our lost & defeated memories of our LA Galaxy behind us. Time to rebuild anew. Time to breathe, eat, act, live portions of victory for our LA Galaxy. LA Galaxy Management & AEG... make sure that the mission-focus for these next two to three years ahead is to make our LA Galaxy a strong, fast, tactically-superior MLS team. It must be Objective Number One! Okay - so I hope that I was able to 'pep' all of your spirits.
The reason for my post - other than to get everyone thinking positive thoughts for our LA Galaxy in the coming years ahead... to remind everyone that January 2008 is upon us. And that means... YES! MLS Combine (Jan. 11th - 15th in Ft. Lauderdale, FL) followed by our extremely anticipated MLS SuperDraft (Jan.18th in Baltimore, MD). After which, the 2008 Trades become well under way. Please take a look at my earlier posts on my choices on the MLS SuperDraft/Combine... plus, who are all the existing players that I believe should be exchanged out (traded).
Here is the break-down of LA Galaxy's MLS Super-Draft positions (as I last saw it, at least two weeks back) :
Round 1 : Pick # 4
Round 2 : Pick #s' 21 , 25 , 27
Round 3 : Pick #s' 29 , 32 , 34
So, accordingly, here is the break-down then of how our LA Galaxy's exisiting MLS players can be exchanged out, and other MLS players from other MLS teams can be traded in :
Round 1 : NONE
Round 2 : Four(4) opportunities for LA Galaxy
Round 3 : Two(2) opportunities for LA Galaxy
Now, for this exchanging out - trading in time-period... I have come up with a list of MLS players that I would like to see traded into our New LA Galaxy team for 2008. There will probably be many reasons NOT to agree with my list... but, I have a strong feeling that these players listed below just needs the right player and group combinations to bring out their excellence and value - especially when members of our LA Galaxy team have to go out for US National Squad Duty, or worse - are out on injuries.
Ned Grabavoy (from San Jose Earthquakes) - MIDFLDR; 25 yrs. old; 5'-7"; 160 lbs; 4 yrs MLS
Chris Brown (from Real Salt Lake) - MIDFLD-FWD; 31 yrs. old; 5'-11"; 180 lbs; 8 yrs MLS
Jean-Martial Kipre (from Real Salt Lake) - DEFNDR/LFT-BACK; 24 yrs. old; 5'-8"; 155lbs; 1 yr MLS + 3 yrs INT'L
Justin Myers (from Chivas USA) - GOALKPR; 23 yrs. old; 6'-2"; 195 lbs; 0 - 1 yr MLS
Chris Konopka (from Kansas City Wizards) - GOALKPR; 23 yrs. old; 6'-5"; 215 lbs; 0-1 yr MLS
The LA Galaxy team for 2008, 2009, & 2010 must be formed with the intention of SKILL, STRENGTH, TACTICS, and PACE... Practice, Drills, Toning, Conditioning, and watching previous MLS games & matches to fully understand the opponents are all necessary. Take care , caution, pupose, and deliberation in forming the 2008 LA Galaxy squad. I am hoping that together - Hd. Coach Gullit, Asst. Coach Jones, Dirctr. Bravo, GM Lalas, and CEO Liewecke - the path to success, winning, and longetivity will be forged.
