Market

Joseph Paintsil wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at LA Galaxy hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad

Words at LA Galaxy training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Hirving Lozano is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

When it matters, João Klauss plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad

The armband comes off Kyogo Furuhashi

LA Galaxy will explain it as a decision about the team, and it may well be one. A dressing room has never once read it that way.

The dugout

Kyogo Furuhashi knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at LA Galaxy, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

The JT Marcinkowski story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until JT Marcinkowski signs something — a contract at LA Galaxy or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Market

LA Galaxy say no — this time

The offer from HNK Rijeka for João Klauss was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 16 signed and 1 gone

That is the business done at LA Galaxy until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Squad

Lucas Sanabria stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Lucas Sanabria and LA Galaxy agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at LA Galaxy

Hirving Lozano was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Joseph Paintsil wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at LA Galaxy hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Boardroom

Lawrence Ennali will join LA Galaxy for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Lawrence Ennali has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means LA Galaxy have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

The dugout

Lucas Sanabria gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Match

San Diego Football Club take the points off LA Galaxy

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market

One of our own: Matt Pulisic joins the LA Galaxy first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Matt Pulisic is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
