2020 Roster Discussion

[Kjbert]

The only question is if he can get service and good passes from LAG teammates. I didnt watch much of them last year but they kinda felt counter attackish tea, well see. But Hes no vela that he will make his own plays and people should not expect that.

I think he’s incredibly overrated btw

 

[LionNYC]

There isn't anybody out there who could have the same effect in NYC that chicharito has in LA. Not anybody we could actually bring in, anyway...

Falcao

Vela? or chicharito ?

Chicharito

Hes a goal poacher thats it, hes pretty good at that but like i said hes not going to create plays from midfield. He’ll be alright if the galaxy have players giving him good passes.

I think this move is overrated. But I still think he’ll bring in a lot of $

Didn’t somebody on this thread say we needed a backup striker?

Nah, MLS is still about names, and getting a dude that is still loved by half of mexican fans in LA area makes all the business sense. In terms of impact om the field he can still have success considering like half of the MLS team defenders are not that great.

He must of really dipped bad. He was barely used in red bull when they needed goals and cant even make it thru preseason in LAFC

That’s a rehash if my position.

They're saying:

Off-field impact, will meet expectations.

On-field impact, will not meet expectations.

fair, but what is onfield expectations for him? Zlatan gave them goals and one playoff win, did he meet the expectations?

 

[The Toe]

I'm really expecting a big year up front. Also, good to see maxi getting in a bunch of recovery work.

Kinda feel bad for him because the on field expectations will be unfair. The Galaxy's success will depend on whether or not they fix their defense.

I don’t understand why the expectations would be high. He’s scored 18 goals in 3 years. Only 64 appearances in 3 years.
HES NOT FIT.
He wasn’t a featured starter for Westham. Subbed 24 times out of 55.
I don’t see how he could be a year older and now play at a 2-3x more demanding level.

Because this is mls

Is he a creator? Can he strike from outside the box? He depends on service? It’s MLS service. Look at all the goals Zlatan scored. They’d be goals in any league.
