    We could get Forlan if only DISH and DirectTV would start carrying CSN and those big fees would start rolling in...Oh! Sorry, that's the solutions to Astros problems, not Dynamo Problems. Never Mind:rolleyes:

    What did Crane ask for from Astros fans? 10 million dollar checks? Dynamo fans might only have to write $10,000 checks. :)

    We've needed one for the past few years for sure. A striker. One who can score goals.

    Is this LA or New York?

    No?

    NO?

    Then you get one Honduran as your DP.

    End of story, stop dreaming, please close thread.

    OK random musings:

    We had our chance to get Herc (like alot of other MLS teams) and we failed to do so. He would have cost alot less then.

    It would depend on how much he costs now to determine the value.

    Would he generate as much revenue for the Dynamo from all flowstreams of cash as a Ronaldinho, Gio Dos Santos or a Kaka? Probably not.

    Herc has alot of personality and does well when facing the canera and social media - if he scores goals he could parlay all of that into alot of deals in advertising and tv. Being American of Mexican heritage and very comfortable with slipping in and out of English / Spanish I think he has huge potential in marketing himself (and potentially the Dynamo) to the Latino Market in Texas or even the greater Latino Market in the US.

    The 'Herculez Gomez hour' on La Raza (sponsored by Fiesta) / Futbol M-eh, L- eh, S-eh on Galavision / Telemundo (sponsored by Bimbo) , on ESPN Desportes (sponsorted by Budweiser, El Rey de Cervezas) etc

    What is that worth to the Dynamo? Probably worth more to him than to the Dynamo but at least I think we would get an honest effort from him rather than a Renaldinho or a Kaka.

    booo!!! I think its a matter of time if we continue to be successful, we have to grow the brand more and stop losing in the finals. I will never share your pessimism.

    I like how you think.

    Gio will never come to MLS. He does not want to be here. I think Houston would be the best fit for him if he would come though.

    The reason I said that was because Glenn Davis has had his uncle on his show, he used to play on the Hotshots and I think maybe still lives here, and I think coaches youth soccer.

    I like the idea of Herc playing for Houston. We'd have to give up a truckload to get him if I understand that correctly. Not sure if I'd want to do that.

    Beto Dos Santos?

    Anyway, that line from Spaceballs popped in my head when you mentioned playing here because of his uncle.

    Yep. And I think there were other family here too, and I thought I remember them saying Gio has been here too, maybe that part was just wishful thinking.

    What about Omar Bravo? I'm hearing he might return to play in the MLS but I think SKC still have his rights.

    We already tried to get him once years back but he allegedly said he thought MLS was "beneath" him. Be curious what he thinks these days....

    I just looked up Beto dos santos and I'm pretty sure this guy was one of our trainers back in my young days. Early to mid 90s. I remember him saying he played for the hotshots and I remember going to see him play.

    I always thought Bravo would be a good fit, but he didnt seem to work in SKC.
