LA Galaxy Fan BlogGalaxy Acquire Joe Cannon and ditch Hercules Gomez
The LA Galaxy traded with the Colorado Rapids for goalie Joe Cannon in return for LAG forward Hercules Gomez and defender Ugo Ihemelu.
This is a good trade! Backing up Hartman as he ends his career is smart and the LAG need more shut outs in 2007. Joe's stats: career record of 75-71-38, a 1.26 goals-against average and 51 shutouts in eight seasons with San Jose and Colorado. In 2006, Cannon was 9-11-7 with a 1.55 goals-against average and seven shutouts.
Hercules was inaffective in 2007, being over shadowed by Landon and unable to put it together up front. He lost his confidence. Kirk will be a fine replacement on the starting line for Hercules.
As for the loss of Ugo....as long as Tyron continues to remain healthy, I think we have a lot of options on the back line. I'd like to see Benditson, Benjamin and Jazic, Ante learn to team up with Chris Albright and Tyron Marshall
Go Galaxy!

I'll miss Hercules. Hope he doesn;t end up being a threat against us like when we traded Carlos Ruiz to FC DAllas for Donovan.
This exchange is too bad, Ugo and Herc are very talented and promising
