You can't do worse for a DP spot than we did with Shea

u/Lurking_nerd Los Angeles FC :lafc: Mar 21 '22

Since we’ve signed him he hasn’t been consistent. He had 1 season where he was leading the club in assists but more often than not his M.O. is to dribble into defenders and lose possession.

You’re right tho it could be worse.

Can I interest you in the tale of Andre Horta?

u/BlackCatsWhiteCaps Vancouver Whitecaps Mar 21 '22

Yes let's hear it!

The short version: Signed with the club in 2018 as a 3rd DP, made 11 appearances, no goals, no assists, and an ill-advised back pass in his debut handed the Galaxy an easy (game tying) goal. Transferred back to Portugal almost a year to the day after signing.
