Some % Villa 100% MLS: JPA joining LA Galaxy

[RogerS]

For anyone that might be interested to know - Juan Pablo Angel has joined LA Galaxy from New Your Red Bulls. I'm also hearing rumours that Carew might be ok his way here to LA as well.

Oh yippee... now he can be a lazy b*stard here as well. However, he should be in his element here. More - ahem - Gentlemens Establishments to the square mile than MacDonalds or Burger King.

Count yourself. We were linked with Robbie savage!! A few of us villa fans have season tickets for the whitecaps so looking forward to seeing jpa

Can you just imagine the kind of mischeif Big John would get up to in LA.  You'd love to be his wing man.

Fear not...my letter of application for said position is already penned and waiting

All the best Juampi. Still miss him to be honest. Be interesting to see how he links up with Beckham. I say to see, I mean 'to read' as I've never seen any sawker from the US league before.

Even Emile would have put this one away...

I looked at match report for MLS Cup Final expecting to see JPA in it. I found out he moved to local rivals LA Chivas. When did this happens and why ? I would though JPA and Sir David Beckham would be a partnership made in heaven.

I'd guess it might have something to do with the arrival of Robbie Keane.

[Salsa Party Animal]

Is there salary cap restriction to prevent Keane and Angel playing upfront together with Beckham in midfield ?

[KevinGage]

I think so, but the way they work it is a bit weird.

One salary cap for all sides and then another salary cap for star players.

But then some sides have two star players (like Marquez and Thierry Henry at NY Redbulls and Beckham and Keane at LA Galaxy) whilst other sides have none, so it doesn't seem entirely fair.

The correct answer - JPA was sacrificed to make space for Keane on the wage bill.

[Vancouver]

Saw him play when they come up to Vancouver. JPA didn't do anything and looked very average. Ignored our villa songs as well

Saw him play when they come up to Vancouver. JPA didn't do anything and looked very average.

Nice of him to recreate the last three years of his Villa career for you though!

[SoccerHQ]

He must be close to retirement now?

No surprised he didn't last long at Galaxy given they have Landon Donovan upfront and also brought in Keane.
