Polenta and Antuna officially announced.
Still no word on how they are going to get down from 4 DPs to 3.
Latest rumor is a restructured contract for Giovani dos Santos that extends him but at a level below DP.
That was also rumored as a way to keep Romain Alessandrini with LA but not as a DP.
Will LA add someone on the defense before the start of the season?
The roster lists seven defenders but don't see Arellano and Hilliard-Arce getting many minutes except as emergency defenders due to injury of someone from the top five.
Also, really don't know how you can have Zlatan, Ola, JDS, GDS, Alessandrini on the field at the same time. Where do you park each guy?
Am anticipating Lletget and Antuna to also get minutes, how do they fit in with the top five offense-minded players already mentioned.
How about this for position assignments with primary option before the slash and the secondary after the slash (prime/secondary):
2: Zlatan/Jamison, Ola/Boateng
4: Lletget/Antuna, GDS/Lletget, JDS/Kitchen, Alessandrini/Pontius
4: some combination of the main five defenders
UPDATE:
I do wonder if financially, the Galaxy are not in the position to get mid-priced defenders and they are going to go with Skelvik/Polenta/Steres/Romney/Fletcher getting the lion's share of the minutes. Thus, if injuries hit, the Galaxy are going to have to rely on Hilliard-Arce, Arellano, and their best prospects from Galaxy II?
