    are we assuming that LA's moves this off-season are in effort to let Arena retire on a high at the end of the season? he's in his mid-sixties and he's been coaching for essentially 40 years at this point. You gotta wonder if he's aiming to go out with a bang a la ferguson with RVP.

    It's not all vets. They made a very interesting younger signing, one that didn't get much press, but it is the kind of thing that makes you jealous.

    I saw that. He's very good on football Manager.

    Yeah I don't think he's doing the roster construction to the same extent, but I still think the scenario might play out the same way. Only with the Galaxy chugging on a little better due to the fact they have 2 DP spots open at the end of the season and a ton of cap space.

    Reddit is throwing out Tiote and Honda. It's possibly the 'pre' could mean they have to wait until 2017.

    Honda in NE makes zero marketing sense. He has to go to the west coast.

    btw he is spending time in LA this week

    Whitecaps make Christian Bolaños official.

    Good player. Gives the Caps yet another option on the wing.

    Bill Hamid out 4-6 months after knee surgery. Huge blow for D.C.

    I've been thinking D.C. was due for a rough year, but with Hamid out I think they might actually be pretty bad. Every transfer window the league gets more talented and D.C. just does not have much talent... I don't think a team full of decent players is enough anymore. Their back line is ok but they're going to lose Kitchen in the middle, and after Espindola they're relying on a 33 year old Chris Rolfe and 34 year old Alvaro Saborio (Saborio in particular seems to be declining rapidly) to score goals. They faded hard at the tail end of last year and I don't see it getting any better for them.

    Christian Bolanos, is a good pick up for the Whitecaps. Almost like they know what they're doing over there.

    Seattle seems to have invented young forwards today.

    Jordan Morris signing reinforces Seattle Sounders aspirations to be "one of the greatest clubs in the world"

    Per MLS website.

    This is as amateurish as anything on the MLS website in a long time.

    This is a homegrown Seattle player, a nice NCAA player, whose Dad is the Sounder's team doctor, that supposedly had some sort of last second dalliance with Werder Bremen.

    Whoop dee doo.

    The Galaxy signing of the 21 year old Ghanaian from the Swedish league is a much bigger deal.

    That's a blow for them. Thought he was going to play one more season in MLS.

    So their CB depth currently looks like Perrinelle coming off a knee injury, Karl Ouimette, and Ronald Zubar (of "shorts around his ankles" fame).

    Kicking the season off against them suddenly looking a bit more favorable...

    They also signed Jelle Van Damme, and they're still trying to sign Nigel de Jong. I guess the salary cap doesn't apply.

    Cole is on 350k, and they're playing with at least 2 million in TAM + GAM+ cap space.

    How did they manage to get that much allocation? They burned all their TAM plus some last season to bring Oman Gonzalez' 1.2m under the max so they could bring in GdS

    They used the 500k that was allowed over five season, not the 1.6 million allocated at the end of the year IIRC. Then they got money off the Juninho transfer, the open cap space from getting rid of Juninho + Gonzalez, it's a lot of available space. you have to remember that after their starting 11 it's essentially a roster of youth players on very small contracts. They're very top heavy in terms of salary structure atm.

    Nemanja Vidic announced his retirement, I heard Chicago was after him. As great as he was, he's practically crippled now so I'm glad he's not doing the retirement league thing (unless LA signed him, then I'd be all for it).

    SKC need to get a lot of Allocation to pay off the increased wages on their various used to be low rent players.

    They are having trouble keeping up with the other teams in the west. I suspect SKC will be one of the bottom feeders in the league this season.
