You would have 28 DP slots in a league struggling to break even at this point. A more logical thing to do would be to gradually add to the cap allowing teams to bring in players without using a DP. <BR/><BR/>As a point of debate what exactly is Landon Donovan really giving the LA Galaxy for the money they are paying him? If they didn't have him on the team next year and had his money to spend on other players I would have to argue they should be in a better position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-57369953597556118622007-08-20T13:20:00.000-07:002007-08-20T13:20:00.000-07:00Anoymous beat me to it, but Reyna is nowhere near ...Anoymous beat me to it, but Reyna is nowhere near the class of the others as you've mentioned.

You KNOW the Galaxy will need that extra DP slot. And knowing that Lalas can barely make a deal for a ham sandwich, you'll shakedown the Galaxy for everything they got). <BR/><BR/>Hopefully, though, if they bump up the DP slots, they acknowledge the Guevara trade and allow the Red Bulls to have three DPs. That's only fair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-58359813795953116852007-08-20T10:35:00.000-07:002007-08-20T10:35:00.000-07:00Chuatemoc is NOT going through all the growing pai...Chuatemoc is NOT going through all the growing pains that many, including myself, thought that he would go through.<BR/><BR/>He is intergrating very well with Chicago.

With Mapp and Rolfe coming off recent injuries and Conde's imminent addition the Fire seem to be the team most likely to make a fast climb up the standings.

The league must find a way to address the Donovan issue so he want have to leave LAG. Even if they don't away a 2nd DP slot expect the MLS to some rules somewhere so as LD stays a member of the Galaxy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
