Over the past 2 or 3 years my appreciation for the MLS has grown. I still feel that the league will not grow without the help of the media but that's for another post. This is a great move on the part of the Galaxy if you're a fan of scoring but everyone knows that what the Galaxy needs is DEFENSE. I heard a stat the other day that said that Beckham alone will account for 9 scoring chances in a game so to have a real finisher in Ruiz is excellent but there is nothing more discouraging in soccer than not being able to hold a lead or playing from behind. The Galaxy are officially the Tottenham of the MLS.
FROM the Galaxy Website....
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy have acquired forward Carlos Ruiz from FC Dallas in exchange for allocation money and a second round pick in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft. Ruiz, who began his MLS career with the Galaxy, helped lead the club to their first-ever MLS Cup title in 2002. He is the eighth leading scorer in MLS history with 81 career goals in 140 regular season games and has scored more than 100 goals in all competitions since arriving in MLS in February 2002.
"We are very pleased to be bringing a proven goal scorer and veteran leader in Carlos Ruiz back to Los Angeles," said LA Galaxy Director of Soccer Paul Bravo. "Carlos is an experienced forward who has averaged better than a goal every two games during his MLS career and we believe that he will be a tremendous asset to our attack."
