Have we discussed S. Lletget's transfer and subsequent performances at LA?

Dude was groomed at arguably the best academy in England. Hopefully he keeps it up and gets a move back to Europe.

Yes, please.

Everything I read about his time with west ham was that they considered him to be one of their best ever products, on par with Lampard. When Terrance Boyd was interviewed during Olympic qualifying about who was the best player on the team, he said Lletget. That team included Mix, Juan, Gyau, Shea, Adu, Morales, et al. I'm really glad to see him finally have a good club situation. It's a shame that west ham and fat Sam let him sit on the bench instead of loaning him out.

Yea I never got that either

Sam never gave their youth guys a chance. Except the one time he basically threw them all out there at once vs Forrest and they got slaughtered in the FA Cup bc he didn't care about the competition.

Unfortunately, I still haven't seen him play, yet. I'll 100% be tuned into LA's next match. Looks like they're playing Portland on Wednesday night.

He's been great so far. 3 in 4 for an Attacking Midfielder is great.

He's had multiple chances to establish himself in the starting lineup, and it just hasn't really clicked for RSL or Gil

Lleget scored in the 12th minute of this game (ESPN2) and then drew a penalty 5 minutes later than Robbie Keane finished. As of right now he has 3 goals in 6 games (most have been subs - total of 170 minutes). A goal every 57 minutes as an attacking mid.

Man he looks like he can go. Has JK had any interest? I read where he did some U stuff but years ago.

I watched the game tonight and in my opinion he was the most exciting attacking player on the field.

And this is why Big Sam is out of a job, fricking idiot.

This kid is clearly above the level of play in this league.

Making it look easy.

Two ways to look at it. He's also raising the caliber of play in MLS
