      Yeah dude my Albanian friends are going crazy atm, coz they actually watch MLS, and he's our 2nd/3rd biggest player. His scoring record is outstanding, I hope he continues it for DC United, I'll make sure to watch every game of theirs that's televised now. Aghhh, so excited.

      Btw, he's a typical target man. Very strong on the ball, good at heading the ball, good control, and great finishing.

      The Galaxy's first friendly with local side the LA Blues.

      Galaxy 7-2 Blues



      Just a little local side but I did like it when 17 year old Jack McBean bullied a full grown man, Around the 2 minute mark. He just turned 17 in December by the way, kid is a freakin' unit!!!

      So what's the deal with this guy? Is e being talked to be the up and coming striker for the US, to partner Agudelo for the future years? Is he kinda the new Jozy Altidore? I hope he won't turn out to be one of those players who's strong physique was the only thing that made him standout when young, and went into the shadows as aging on.

      Yeah IDK, the youth matches for the Galaxy are open and people say he's good. I haven't seen him an awful lot so I can't say. He's a unit, I worry about him having a John Barnes sort of physique and not all players can really pull that off. Then of course like you say there are loads of players that hit the physical wall once the get like 20-21 and start competing with a higher quality of player. He's played one professional match (scoring), the friendly against Citeh and another friendly in Australia. He looked alright but he's very very raw. So we'll see.

      I will say on the limited video I've had of Salgado and McBean, Salgado seems a step ahead of him and he's only a year older.

      Better with the ball at his feet.
      More of a physical presence, Salgado is 6'4
      Has the more athletic build.
      Possibly a little quicker.

      I can't really say who's the better finisher and it's really to early to call who's the better player. If we're looking for a big striker to hold up the ball to fill out a squad going forward I think it's going to be one of these two, or Terrence Boyd who's a unit but is more technically gifted then both players.

      Not a ton of video to go on, I just hope both players get more opportunities next season. I think Omar will, not so sure about McBean.

      I think it's a moot point if Terrence Boyd gets cap-tied, he'll be far ahead of both players. Thing is you'd imagine Germany are starting to notice him now, he's never been solid in his commitment to the US and I feel like if Germany came knocking he'd flip. We have World Cup qualifiers coming up though so we need to call him up, if we lose this one I'll be pissed. Olympic qualifiers don't count anymore for cap-tying players. He's made the 18 for Dortmund a couple times this season and he's training with the first team. Klinsmann has this thing about only calling up players that are playing regularly. Surely Boyd training with Dortmund regularly is better then Agudelo playing the odd match for NY Redbulls and riding the bench.

      Any news on Danny Mwanga?
      I know he's training with Villa currently but he seems quality and I don't think the MLS should let him go just yet.

      Plus I think I remember him saying he'd prefer to play for the US than his native country of the Congo.

      I don't think he's leaving but yeah he needs to stay in country for another couple years. I think he has a green card an probably is like a year or two away from becoming a citizen. I think he'll be a citizen before the World Cup, I'm not sure he'll get in the team but that's just another player in the pool. I don't think he wants to play for Congo at all, his dad was killed by revolutionaries and I worry about his safety if were to go back there.

      Completely and utterly irrelevant...but I saw that guy play against Dundee in a UEFA Cup qualifier in 2003 which we won 6-0 on aggregate - when we became the first and only Scottish side to ever win in Albania

      Lol @ last 3 posts. @BlueCrew LA , I really like what I saw from Salgado. What an awesome athlete, having plenty of pace and ridiculous physique, effin 6 ft 4, and no Peter Crouch either. Those are always the players I tend to gain bias towards, especially for a position such as striker. I hope he develops more technique on the ball, would probably be my favorite USA player if he secures a spot in the US mens.

      edit: hmm.. doesn't seem like a prolific goalscorer going from Wikipedia's numbers...

      He hasn't played much to be fair to him. I think he'll get more of a run this season.
