Douglas Costa

*** DONATE TO LAURA ARANDA FUNERAL & OTHER EXPENSES LINK: https://gofund.me/8784705a *** COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- In a major kit store in London, England, the first realistic leak of the 2022 primary kit was revealed by an Irish LA Galaxy fan who was on holiday. This is how this season is going to go, isn't it? Hosts Josh Guesman and Eric Viera are back to discuss the Galaxy's focus on an injury-prone Brazilian struggling to cut it in the second division of Brazil. Do the Galaxy think they have found an overlooked diamond in the rough? And are they going for it hard? The guys discuss the risks and rewards of Douglas Costa and why he's going to have to find a way to convince Galaxy fans he wants to make a difference in LA. Plus, could a short-term contract make more sense even if it is worth close to $5-million? Josh and Eric also discuss 2022's plain-white-t and why the replica unearthed in London is probably pretty close to the actual design that is coming out. Will you buy it? Finally, the guys discuss Julian Araujo not making the Mexico bench against Jamaica, why the Galaxy probably gave away a whole bunch of money when moving Lletget so early in the window, and why Omar Gonzalez and AJ DeLaGarza are gracing the beaches in the South Bay as "Galaxy East" comes to SoCal for the preseason. Also, please find a time to donate to the family of Producer Ben from the Riot Squadcast as his family deals with the loss of his wife and the mother of their two girls (LINK: https://gofund.me/8784705a). We've got a busy show that will get you ready for the start of the preseason games on Saturday. The time has come!

But with holes remaining in this lineup, can Greg Vanney and the rest of the front office find the ambition and foresight to land a game-changing signing? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Larry Morgan (Kevin Baxter is on assignment following the USMNT) discuss the Galaxy's most recent moves and why some of the rumors might not be leading in the direction everyone thinks they're going to. The guys will start by talking about the addition of Mike Muñoz in a position that will oversee the LA Galaxy Academy and probably LA Galaxy II. What expectations does he have, and will the Galaxy maintain the momentum that the previous administration started? Then Josh and Larry will get the details right on the Marky Delgado trade to confirm his contract length and why the signing is just fine. Really! It's fine. We're all fine! The Galaxy also made their way back to the Rose Bowl last week, and the entire team was running hills around the hallowed ground before getting to have lunch on the field itself. Is this just more history farming by the Galaxy? Is this a PR stunt that gains views with minimal upside? Or is Vanney doing something meaningful with this team? Is this what team-building looks like? Finally, Josh will talk about Douglas Costa and Cristian Pavon rumors. And the feelings we have about certain signings aren't being talked about. So we're going to change that. Are the Galaxy gambling big on a Designated Player signing you might not be able to trust? We've got a great show lined up for a Monday night. And we hope you enjoy it!

But the story of the draft was their first-round draft pick. And on today's show, Farai Mutatu will stay up well past his bedtime to call into the podcast to talk to us. Host Josh Guesman welcomes Mutatu to the Galaxy fans on the west coast just as the former Michigan State player prepares to wing across the country and land in Los Angeles -- a place he's only been once before. Mutatu will tell you about his journey to getting drafted by the Galaxy and what he thinks he can bring to a Galaxy team who can always use a guy who doesn't know how to give up. After the phone call, Josh will talk about the Galaxy's other draft picks and why the club probably passed on their final draft pick. But what obstacles will get in the way of any of these former college players? International slots? Roster spots? We'll discuss it all. Then Josh will get you updated on Victor Vazquez, who looks to be returning to the Galaxy as he left Europe and videoed his fantastic lay-flat bad. How do we get into first class? The answer? More superchats! Finally, Josh will go over the rumor that is dying on the vine and tell you why Douglas Costa says he wants to stay in Brazil. Do the Galaxy believe that? Does Costa believe that? And what of our french rumors? We've got a packed show that will answer some of your questions and get you ready for Sunday's first day of training. As always, thanks for joining us twice every week!

Why would it be different? And what is the club doing in Brazil? On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter want to update you on what could be another slow week for the club. But with a Saturday reporting date, are things about to heat up? Or is the calmness telling? Perhaps MLS is just in a position it's never been in before with a winter World Cup later this year? Josh and Kevin will start by explaining some of the dynamics behind a World Cup that is actually lining up in the league's favor. Does that mean some big moves could take place in the lead-up to the biggest sporting event in the world? And is MLS primed to capitalize? The guys will then debate the pros and cons of the MLS SuperDraft on Tuesday and talk about the Galaxy's history of draft picks. Are the Galaxy just really bad at this? Do they value the college development path at all? or is the SuperDraft a thing of the past? There are a lot of opinions, and we're sure you have your own. Next, the guys talk about the "gamble" the Galaxy made on Raheem Edwards and why a depth piece is garnering so much attention and a three-year contract. Does Vanney know something the rest of us don't on Edwards? And who much are the Galaxy willing to risk on Kelvin Leerdam and Raheem Edwards? Then the guys want to dive into two fascinating rumors. But only one of them has any smoke behind it, and both seem to be a gamble. Is Juventus' Douglas Costa leaving a second division team in Brazil to join the Galaxy? And are the Galaxy persuing one of the top attacking midfielders in Ligue 1 in Teji Savanier? Suffer through our horrible pronunciations and questionable logic, as we talk about Cristian Pavon being the "easy" choice and why Costa might be a motivational issue but relatively cheap. And would Savanier be a severe departure from who the Galaxy usually target? Could we call them ambitious? We've got a great show lined up for you, and we're glad you're joining us in the lead-up to the Galaxy's start of the preseason!
