Offseason moves?

A lot of average to meh talent. Brazilian team is bad, so is the Argentina team, who just got eliminated like two minutes ago.

But even though they're not as amazing as Neymar, Lucas, etc. they are still price tagged pretty high.. Brazilian defender, Doria, was set to leave for Juventus for nine million euros, but got turned down because Botafogo wasn't taking any less than ten.. don't know about that price now after watching his performances.

 

Yeah, they aren't the best, but they are young and some of them show a lot of talent. And the shots and the goals are cool, but maybe partly because the goalkeeping is pretty bad.

 

ehhh.... I think this tournament looks duller than the ones before is because usually you have some Argentina or Brazilian who make the tournament exciting or shine brighter than what it is.. its not the case this tourney. No Neymars, No Walters, No Andersons... You have Itturbe whose a joke and Rafinha whose done marginally well and he hasn't been flashy or wow-esque at all... the drop in level from those two have really made this years tourney look just not good. Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay.. noone is stepping up.

 

So, Im guessing we're not getting Alex Lopez. In one of the articles they mentioned that jan 17, Thurs was the day there would be a definite answer for the future of Alex Lopez

 

Indeed. Tournaments without Andersons are sad.

 

I think that was just the article that claimed he would be in the SuperDraft, on the 17th, which, course, he wasn't.

 

RUMOR: Mac Kandji on trail in France (Ligue 2) with Clermont Foot.

Anyone going to the practice tomorrow? It's still open to public right?

What time it start? I want To go

 

Good question, anyone know?

 

Practice on the Dynamo field at HASP - 10AM.
I wanted to go with the kids since they are out of school but I can't take the day off

 

Jersey numbers are up for some players:

Brunner - 2
Johnson - 14
Cummings - 7

#9 is not taken and I wonder if the team still thinks Kandji will continue...

 

they don't. he's on trial in ligue 2 now

 

Good for Mac,

 

France really seems like the right league for him to be honest.

 

Because the goals are bigger there?

 

Lol. I like Mac but had to laugh at this. Well done.

 

I hear the contracts there have a stepover incentive built in.

 

Yes, but they call a stepover, "le royale".

 

Weaver would do great with bigger goals. No more goal post hits

 

Josue Soto has been waived.

It would seem that two of our draft picks (other than Johnson) are likely to make the team then. Making room . . .

 

le royale with Mac* and cheese?

*see what i did there?

 

Not particularly surprised by this. I just don't think he has many of the physical tools for Dom's system.

Immense skill, though.

 

According to an article on HoustonDynamo.com, Dom has been impressed by Calum Elliot in training. We might be getting another Scot. But this time, a forward.

 

At this point, most of us probably don't care.. .but for what it's worth. Kandji not signing w/ Clermont, could be headed to Germany.
