Watch the Cristian Pavón press conference

#PavonWatch was a heck of a ride wasn’t it?

For the better part of six weeks, LA Galaxy fans were subject to the chaos of the South American transfer market as Dennis de Kloese, Jovan Kirovski and Gordon Kljestan attempted to negotiate a complicated deal to land one of South America’s top young talents.

In the end though the Galaxy got their man, and Friday afternoon LA officially introduced Boca Juniors winger Cristian Pavòn to the public. Flanked by Galaxy president Chris Klein, general manager Dennis te Kloese and his former manager Guillermo Barros Schelotto, the winger with 11 caps for Argentina briefly spoke, reiterating his desire to get going quickly and citing Favio Alvarez as someone who recommended the league in conversations.
