The LA Galaxy have a history of overpaying for players on the statistical decline. Is this the case with Dan Kennedy?
In 2011, mlssoccer.com named Dan Kennedy the most underrated player in the league, and, ever since, it's a tag that has stuck with the keeper. Over time, a certain narrative was built around this notion, and from 2011 to 2014, it was not at all uncommon to run across someone who'd make the argument that Dan Kennedy would be on the national team if he played for a better team.
Due to this "Chivas USA effect," it is often said that numbers don't tell the whole story when it comes to Dan Kennedy.
