A potential snag in Chicharito to LA Galaxy? Maybe not?

The latest on Chicharito to the LA Galaxy? There may be a snag on the deal purported to be done earlier this week in some quarters. ESPN’s Jeff Carlisle, one of the best around regarding rumors, supported CBS Sports’ Roger Gonzalez claiming the deal may fall apart on Thursday.

Then, Corner of the Galaxy talked through the latest, as they understand it, in a podcast on Thursday. Sounds like there’s an oral agreement but negotiations are ongoing, to Josh and Larry a natural part of the process. All that and much more Galaxy discussion on the latest podcast!

Then on Friday morning, Grant Wahl reported on SI.com that the deal is indeed signed. It’s the latest, but needless to say you get a bit of each option from reputable American sources.

Here’s news for your Thursday morning:

• Katai interview: We got a few minutes with new Galaxy attacker Aleksandar Katai on Thursday, be sure to check it out.
