CARSON >> It was a week of changes across Major League Soccer as the summer transfer window closed Wednesday.

The teams ahead of the Galaxy in the Western Conference standings (FC Dallas and Colorado) both had additions and subtractions to their roster.

However, the Galaxy (9-3-9, 36 points), remained silent through the period.

“We feel good about our roster,” Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said Friday. “We are who we are and we’ll see how that plays out the rest of the year.”

The Galaxy enters August in third place in the Western Conference.

As for moves made by the other teams, Arena isn’t concerned about what they’ve done.

“I’m not paying attention to any of them, to be honest with you,” Arena said. “We’re just focusing on our team.”

A key for the Galaxy going forward will be its depth as the team faces a congested schedule for August and September. Tonight’s game against New York will be the first of three in a week’s span, with the U.S. Open Cup semifinal (against FC Dallas) on Wednesday and Colorado next Saturday.

That’s why it has been important to see the development of players like Emmanuel Boateng, Dave Romney and Daniel Steres. Also, defender Robbie Rogers (ankle surgery) is targeting a return later this month.

“We have a big squad of players and you look at the strength and depth that we have in the team, we’re probably one of the stronger teams, so there was no need (for changes),” Keane said. “The more consistent you are, the better you’re going to do. The last seven games, we have better form, we haven’t lost a game, that’s consistency and we have to continue keep doing it and we can’t dwell on the last seven games because every game brings different challenges.”

Keane and the Galaxy are currently on a seven-game unbeaten streak (4-0-3). An encouraging sign of late has been the way the club has went on the road to Portland (July 23) and Seattle (July 31) and secured positive results, a victory and a draw.

Last week, Steven Gerrard and Ashley Cole returned to field after missing time due to injury. It was as close to a complete lineup as the Galaxy has had recently, but forward Gyasi Zardes was replaced by Boateng after Zardes suffered a chest muscle strain.

Boateng started both of the road games, after a stretch of four games where he didn’t see any playing time.

“I think we needed some time at the beginning (of the season) to click and play better as a team,” defender Jelle Van Damme said. “I think everybody knew we needed the time and I think the few weeks, we’re doing better and better, we’re improving as a team and I think it is a good thing as well that almost everybody is fit again, so we have a good team, good lineup and more important good players behind the starting 11 who are always ready.”

NEW YORK RED BULLS at GALAXY

Kickoff: 6:30 p.m.

TV/Radio: Fox Sports 1; KWKW/1330

Update: The Red Bulls are currently third in the Eastern Conference and are on a five-game unbeaten streak (2-0-3). The Red Bulls are 1-7-4 on the road. The Galaxy is 6-0-4 at home. New York will be without midfielder Dax McCarthy, who suffered a fractured tibia last week is scheduled to be out 4-6 weeks. Bradley Wright-Phillips and Sacha Kljestan will certainly test the Galaxy’s defense. Wright-Phillips has scored 12 goals. Kljestan, originally from Huntington Beach, has five goals and 12 assists. The Galaxy has allowed just 20 goals this season, second fewest in the league. Forward Gyasi Zardes returned to training late in the week after missing last week’s game.
