Albright + someone (draft pick, another player) for Houston's DP (unless you are going to use the DP) ----Ching---De Rosario---- Davis---Mulrooney---Mullan ----------Clark------------ Barrett-Rob--Coch--Albright I'm serious. LA needs to the DP, we aren't using it, and it seems to allow us to settle into a real line up. Now if you want to bring in a DP that's fine, but if we are just going to sit on it, then trade it.
Re: Dom and OL: Make this trade Are you ********ing crazy? Allbright for our DP? Do you know what our DP is worth? Houston was brought into this league so we could get an SSS, sign a high profile Mexican player and get outrageous attendances. Allbright won't do shit for our club.
Re: Dom and OL: Make this trade Are you serious? Have you actually watched Shirley Temple play? For our DP slot? Really? Unless that "someone" is Landicakes, my answer isn't just no, it's ******** no. Or is this a joke I'm just not getting. No really, I'm very tired today and I think there must be something wrong with my sense of humor.
Re: Dom and OL: Make this trade WTF? What if Fonseca, Marquez, or Salcido become available? Don't give up the DP when we could get a good Mexican player that would make AEG and the fans happy.
Re: Dom and OL: Make this trade Allbright is worthless. I wish we could get Dunivant back but that won't be happening.
Re: Dom and OL: Make this trade That'd be great, but I think we could win a championship without using the DP. If we do use it, (I bet we don't and we trade it to LA) than I hope that they choose wisely. Meaning, not only will the guy fill seats but also help us tremendously. I’m almost certain that Houston will trade it away to LA. Don't get mad at me, I don't think this is necessarily the best decision, I just think this is what's going to happen.
Re: Dom and OL: Make this trade if we was to pick up albright or laddycakes I would shot myself!I hate both of the equaly.......well laddycakes more! We will more than likly hold onto out DP sport for a little while and pick up someone at a later date. I dout we will sell it because there isnt really anyone out there. PS it doesnt have to be a mexican player even though it would be smart.Think outside the box people!
Re: Dom and OL: Make this trade Let's start over, breath, and look at what I posted. I clearly said if they are not going to use the DP to trade it. So don't say 'are you crazy, Rafa!' because I already said if they are going to use it, to use it. Second, I didn't say Albright for DP. I said Albright + _____. Maybe a center back, maybe draft choices, maybe _______. So saying Albright for a DP is not what I said. I am saying let's either use our DP or get something for it. LA is in the market to trade for a DP and LA has a solid MLS quality right back. Houston's three weakest positions are 2nd striker, right back, and center back in that order. Let's either sign a DP striker, DP attacking mid and move De Rosario to striker, or trade our DP for a right back and one person. If you know someone who wants the DP that has a player Houston could use more than Albright let me know. There is going to be a team in MLS that neither trades its DP nor uses it. That team will have made a big mistake when the DP slot review comes up after 2.5 more seasons.
Re: Dom and OL: Make this trade It doesn't matter who the + guy would be. There are four players I hate in this league. Donovan, Allbright, Ruiz, and **********ass Mapp.
Re: Dom and OL: Make this trade The best decision is to bring in an international superstar striker or 10 shirt for the DP. Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Zidane, and such would all be amazing pickups. The second best decision would be bring a less famous international striker or 10 shirt in for DP. Someone of at least Angel's quality. Del Piero, Owen(injuries), etc. The worst decision is to hold onto the slot and not use it. We, more than likely, already turned down Blanco. Good decision IMO, but if we aren't planning to use it, trade it.
Re: Dom and OL: Make this trade I think we should relax. Players will be out of contract starting June 1 in Europe. We will have some good strikers. Some are already available from being released (Hasselbaink, Angel, Hartson, etc.)
Re: Dom and OL: Make this trade Houston not using it's Designated Player is smart. I think many people have voiced, "if it's not broke why fix it" or "pay who got you to this point" kind of perspectives... But what if: Houston waits for everyone else to settle before choosing their DP Dom is waiting for someone to become available to fill the keystone role AEG / Dynamo wait for the announcement of the stadium location to spill it Monkeys fly out of my ass, NOW COMMON tell me so I can STOP guessing!
Re: Dom and OL: Make this trade Retitled so people can discuss other potential Dynamo-MLS trade ideas and so people won't pick on Eliezar so much.
Re: Dom and OL: Make this trade He's a good player. But guys like him and Beckerman give the league that wuss look that turns away the average male sports fan.
Re: Dom and OL: Make this trade Beckerman and Franchino I can understand. Not Mapp. Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong Mapp.
Hasselbaink parted with Charlton and may be available for MLS. Granted he's in the twilight of his career but would be an asset for any club that would sign him. He possesses dynamite shooting power and has a tremendous poacher's instinct in the box. I would like to see him come to Houston.
Don't be fooled many EPL clubs will be looking to sign him as a sub or a reserve striker. Like Sheringham at West Ham last year, he would come on when a team wanted to be more attacking if they were down a goal.
DeRo and Onstad to Toronto for Wynne, Buddle and their DP.... Use DP #1 - for a #10 Use DP #2 - for a #2 striker -------Chingolazo-----#2 DP ------------#10 DP------------- Bdavis------------------------Mullan ----------------Clark---------------- Barret - ERob - Cochrane/Waibel - Wynne -----------------Wells---------- Just because I am crazy .....do this in the offseason.
Haisselbank is a beast! Goals would pour in! The main worry that I have for any ex-premiership star who is getting on in years is - How will they transition from playing in a league that is always wet and cold (where you can run your lungs out) to a league that plays most of it's games through the dogs days of summer heat with temps in the upper 80's lower 90's even at night.
