Houston Dynamo move on from Héctor Herrera: "He turned this club around" https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/houston-dynamo-move-on-from-hector-herrera-he-turned-this-club-around
Kevin Denkey of Cercel Brugge is reported to be going to FC Cincinnati for 14 million Euros. Denkey is a strong forward who had a great season last year. This year, he is slightly lower. He could become a terror of MLS defenses.
A little more about the Denkey transfer. He came to the US last weekend and missed a League match where Cercle lost 5-0 to Anderlecht. FCC wants him as soon as possible to begin "Well, Cercle wants to complete the deal as soon as possible. Especially since no agreement was reached last summer about Denkey with Real Sociedad, among others, who offered 12 million. Waiting until January was therefore not an option now. Any risks - read: injuries - that could stand in the way of a deal are thus avoided. And Cincinnati also wanted to get going now. Playing against Anderlecht and traveling to Cincinnati during this international break was also not possible for Denkey. Because the Togolese national team demanded his presence for the international matches against Liberia and Equatorial Guinea."
This kid better be MVP level good for that kind of outlay. I'm surprised MLSHQ didn't nix this one, as it definitely will make it more difficult (IOW more $$$) for the rest of the league to make transfers. They paid what? $8M for Boupendza??? How much did they pay for Brenner???
This is a pretty crazy transaction. If dude doesn’t win the golden boot next year and Cincinnati finish top 3, then this will be a failure. This beats out the Toronto Italian signings, right? De key had better be at least as good as Giovinco!
They probably should have done so in May. I wonder what a soon to be 36 year old, who won't have played in 10 months (by the time the season rolls around) has left.
