Sizing up LAFC's options in the MLS expansion draft

Coach Bob Bradley and general manager John Thorrington have some good players to choose from as they continue building the expansion side's squad

It has been a decade since Bob Bradley was a coach in Major League Soccer, but it's safe to say he has a better grip on the league than you might expect upon his return.

Hired by Los Angeles FC back in July, Bradley has had five months to study the league and figure out the players he might be interested in. Having spent enough time in MLS to appreciate the importance of player salaries and their impact on their overall value in a salary cap league, he will be looking for the moderately priced veterans who could prove themselves to be bargains at positions considered thin in MLS.
