    I don't know much about the guy but a 31 yo who has scored 53 goals in 83 appearances since 2015 with the Tigres is someone I want. He had 25 goals and 6 assists in 42 games this last season. That is an outstanding goal scoring rate. Why would Tigres let him go? They must have a hell of a replacement.

    They love him and he loves it there. I guess we have to start somewhere but, Tigres want double what we offered...

    I'm fine with this and it works best for LAFC. Zlatan isn't fit till next season anyway. It's a good signing for a team just starting out. Zlatan will get a lot of fans into seats. Hell I'd be tempted. We need to sign someone big as well to compete.

    It's for a clothing line apparently.

    Probably just a coincidence. If so, I hope LAFC fans are given enough time to go nuts over the "announcement" before it gets cleared up. :devilish:

    Pretty sure the promo he did for that clothing line back before it was official his contract wasnt being extended by Man Utd had the same color scheme. I still he ends up at Man Utd next season.

    Yeah putting on my design nerd cap for a minute, it’s a similar scheme, but they aren't the same colors – well the black is, but the gold is different, not by much, but when you’re talking about logos/branding colors are a binary, they’re either right or wrong.

    LAFC gold:
    RGB 197 162 110, CMYK 24 36 64 1

    A-Z gold:
    RGB 192 174 122, CMYK 26 27 60 0

    Hmmm … either the source of the rumor, smoke for the rumor or two French soccer players who live near each other.

    Part of me wants him to go to a costume party dressed as a Smurf.

    Then sign for us.

    A bit like Landon...

    I'd settle for either of those.

    Curt tells me that Rafael Garcia is just as good in goal as he is at right back.

    Which 1996 MLS jersey is Gignac wearing in the photo?

    Then the Galaxy should sign El Gato to a player contract.

    Wayne Rooney is still out there. Plus we wouldn't have to wait for him to heal up from an injury. He could play this season.

    Depends if Rooney would want to play striker or the Gio role. Rooney is still a great striker, and I expect a team like Everton to snatch him up.

    Rooney and Zlatan are pipe dreams at this point. Both are too valuable on the field and PR-wise for MLS to win the inevitable bidding wars.

    I don't really follow ManU that closely. Between Wayne and Zlatan, who has slowed more?

    Clearly Jose favored Ibra and it appeared deservedly so. From the little I saw, it seemed Wayne was used primarily when Jose wanted to safeguard a favorable result as an attacking mid.

    This would be utterly hilarious for me because he and I share the same first name. Not gonna happen, but still funny. :)

    Interesting on Gignac, he'd be a good pick up.

    Finally, that shirt that Romain is wearing is tragic. I never understood the allure of ripped clothes. Especially designer ripped clothes. I'm paying you $300 for something that looks like it got stuck in my car door?

    Agree.

    It goes back to the 80s/Flashdance fashion. My buddy used to call it the "just raped look."

    That sounds wildly inappropriate now.

    He's wearing #18 though, which is a first team number.
