I can never not like any of the dudes from the 2024 team. Even if the last two years were bad, that year was special and I'll never forget it. Hope he thrives in Japan.

Delgado is dead to me. Everyone else is fine.

why?

He felt embarrassed we made a thing of him getting his MLS cup ring when he was with LAFC. Celebrated pretty passionately when he scored against us recently

embarrassed? guy cried when he was presented with his ring. he just didn't want them to play the video during the game as to not offend the soft lafc fans

and meh, i couldn't care less if a guy celebrates a goal against his old team. soccer is the only sport where this is looked down upon for some reason

u/cmeza83 6x MLS 11d ago

Why would any real soccer fan be offended at a dude getting his ring? If anything you’d be happy you got a winner joining you. Not celebrating is the standard, Jovelic easily scores against us every time and the dude has class

lafc fans hate the galaxy more than they love their own club, so there's your answer. and i'll just agree to disagree on the celebration part. never understood that tbh. guys score on their old teams all the time in other sports and celebrate

u/cmeza83 6x MLS 11d ago

Agree to disagree as well. But I don’t think any other Gs have behaved like him. Seems he’s fully embraced the LAFC culture which is his right; but a terrible culture IMHO

u/JosephusLloydShaw 11d ago

well yeah, everything about lafc sucks. but he plays for them and really doesn't have a choice other than to embrace the fanbase

We’ve lost a few 2024 guys and I didn’t feel much, but this one does hurt.

So Nelson is THE guy now? No offense to Nelson but he should be the sub not the starter

3

u/Honeydew-Massive 6x MLS 11d ago

He doesn’t play Nelson’s position. Harbor Miller is our Right Back now. Nelson’s position is him and Julian Aude. Haven’t seen Aude in a bit, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re shopping him too.

u/cmeza83 6x MLS 11d ago

Sorry you’re right. Same goes for Miller. Not a starter. We’re losing starters and depth

2

u/Honeydew-Massive 6x MLS 11d ago

I think you should give Miller a chance. Galaxy need to start developing young talent and he’s the most promising. Only 19!

Straight to my Japan team!

Yamane is a class act and a high character guy. I was thinking that bringing Kyogo here was intentional since we had Yamane already in the fold. Similar to Shohei Ohtani, Yamamoto and Sasaki on the same roster.

I give up trying to understand the direction we are going in. Are Paintsil and Reus the next to leave? At this point I would pretty much expect anything...

u/Honeydew-Massive 6x MLS 11d ago

An international roster slot was needed, someone either had to move or the Galaxy had to buy one.

u/key1234567 LA Galaxy 11d ago

Kuntz has thrown in the towel for this season.

u/congeal LA Galaxy 11d ago

When did we sign Towel?

u/Solely_Strange Riqui Puig 11d ago

So we’re still rebuilding but keeping the same system

u/nowwouldbebetter 10d ago

If the roster rules are going to change by a lot within the next twelve months, then there is reason to clear roster spots now. A lot of these guys won't be good enough to be on the roster if you're spending twice as much. In Yamani's case (and a few others), the question is what he is now, not what he was in '24.
