Our scoring reinforcement at the beginning of this season was supposed to be a newly inspired Alex Pineda Chacon...what happened? The guy's been AWOL all season long and hasn't been traveling with the team on this entire hellish road trip - coach's decision. Any inside information or gossip as to what's going on? Will he play for the Galaxy at all this season? Looking for some answers about our missing man - 'cause it looks like we need all the help we can get.
Rumor has it that he's in the doghouse because of he's out of shape or sandbagging it at practice. Well, if we're not going to use him, trade him or release him and fill his slot with a midfielder.
Funny thing that Galaxy fans were soooo ready to welcome and defende him after he left the Revolution where much the same was rumored. The Magpie
I really wish I could find the thread from way back when the Chacon trade went through. I predicted then that A.P. would continue to be a largely useless headcase for the Galaxy ... and was roundly mocked for it by Galaxy fans who were certain his probelem was just the Revs tatics ... But I can't find it, so you'll just have to take my word for it that I told you so.
Doug Hamilton had pretty high hopes for him, so this is pretty surprising. Makes you wonder why APC even got on the plane.
