    Journeyman. Great last name, but little else.

    Word on the street is that you're getting a big time forward too. He's below in red.

    We obviously need another forward, but his scoring record isn't all that impressive.

    Slight echo effect.

    There might be a little bit of an "echo effect" on this. The Edinburgh source for the story seems to be the Chronicle article that mentioned Dalglish's trial, right down to the Kinnear quote.

    We shall see.

    He can't be any worse than Cerritos, and maybe it'll be a packaged deal and we get his sister also.

    Really, I'm just glad to see the FO doing something about the problem. Hopefully he'll be able to contribute if we do sign him.

    Agreed. We need to do something and maybe he just needs to play somewhere he won't always be compared to his dad - and maybe his sister can replace Charlie Palillo. ;)

    Anybody's better than Cerritos. Even his name is Spanish for "Little zero." :D

    Who's Dalglish's sister?

    Here are a couple of pieces with more info on him - he's been on trial in MLS in the past, with Dallas and DCU:

    Hopefully he will at least be a cheap experiment.

    (Since he's been playing in Scotland for awhile maybe John Spencer can be his translator)

    I think "talking head/news reader" would be more accurate than "reporter." :)

    Re: New Dynamo Player coming check it out.

    Damn, that's cold. Cerritos played pretty well last year. I find it hard to believe that he suddenly can't play, but I can't argue that he's produced this year as a forward. If he winds up getting some playing time I'd like to see him go out there and play like a man possessed. Otherwise this could be it for his career, and he's still only, what, 30?

    Dom has had a few international trialists in over the last few years, but he never seems to bite. But I don't think any of them were Scottish :). As Mike Myers(?) used to say on Saturday Night Live, "If it's not Scottish, it's CDRAP!!!"

    You know good & well this is Houston, as much a "what have you done for me lately?" city as any. :) He couldn't even hit a PK for Pete's sake.

    Re: New Dynamo Player coming check it out.

    I actually am surprised at how Cerritos seems to have dropped off this year. He was quite productive last year, and you'd think he'd still be able to be a good spot starter and late game sub. But the results fhis year certainly have not been impressive. Having said that, I've been very surprised that Dom has not brought him off the bench lately, most noticeably Wednesday against LA when the team is losing.

    Did anyone else see that Cerritos left the field Saturday night after the game, walking straight to the locker room and not even congratulating his teammates? And then he mysteriously is "under the weather" Sunday morning for the Reserve game.....coincidence? I wonder if there isn't something a bit more going on.....

    Regardless, I share the pessimism about this "great signing". This guy's career stats don't seem very impressive, so it's hard to get too excited about this. But, it is an attempt to get some new blood in the mix, so I can't complain.

    Re: New Dynamo Player coming check it out.

    Does anyone else think their word choice is a little off?

    But, if does come, I hope he works out better than another Scotish journyman, Peter Canero, has for the MetroStars this season.

    Canero! What a steal at what 240K! And I thought Cerritos was an overpriced benchwarmer.

    I wondered, when my favorite Scotsman told me that the guy trained on Friday with the team was a Daglish, if he was Kelly's brother-oh man! Maybe she'll fly over to Houston to watch! I'm psyched! She's the reason I've wathced Sky Sports News for the past three years! What a hottie!

    Re: New Dynamo Player coming check it out.

    Come now, it was a mere $142,000 ... and if that is not worth 181 minutes, 2 shots (one on goal) and three fouls suffered, I do not know what is.

    LOL - and if we are lucky her brother can play soccer! Poor guy, can't have a discussion without someone bringing up either his father or his sister . . .

    Paul Dalglish? I'm so very sorry. He'll no doubt score the goal of the season and then be posted missing until he demands a transfer away. Complete and utter waste of space.

    Why can we go after a Latin player a good forward from Argentina or Mexico why do we have to scotland to look for someone. We are in Houston and would be great to bring a good latin striker.
