Galaxy To Sign Dominguez

Posted by: WVHooligan In: LA Galaxy| MLS| News and Rumors

via LA GalaxyJust as most had expected or talked about over the last couple of weeks. The LA Galaxy are hoping Argentine center back Eduardo Dominguez will be the answer to their defensive issues.

Dominguez must first get his visa, and then must also wait for the transfer window to open up on July 15 before he can begin to play in official matches with the Southern California side.

The 29-year old defender recently played for Huracán in the Argentina Premier Division. He is expected to beef up a defense that has led a league high 30 goals this season (10 more than most MLS clubs). At this point any addition should be welcome for Galaxy fans as they need their club to be more assertive on the defensive side of the ball.

I honestly know very little of Dominguez. I’ve seen a few clips of him play and read some stats on him. I don’t know if LA had to drop anyone at the moment to sign him. Let’s also hope this means the end of Abel Xavier on the backline for the Gals. I’m curious to see how he pairs up with Xavier or rookie Sean Franklin in the middle of the defense.

I still think LA needs another defensive player, maybe a defensive midfielder would be best. Some have also said they need a new keeper and that Steve Cronin isn’t cutting it. I would agree but this late into the year and no changes in goal would signal to me that the Galaxy are just waiting out the year with Cronin before they look elsewhere in that department.

Galaxy fans, what do you make of this signing? The answer to your needs?

Dominguez is a start. You touched on what thier real need is, and that’s the defensive midfield. I was at the last game against NE and the Revs showed how valuable it is to have good play there. Shalrie Joseph and Laren@#*… the red headed guy (I always forget how to spell his name) played a huge part in slowing and stifling LA attacks. Pires and Franchino, even though they hustle, aren’t cutting it. Who could LA get?
