Past Dynamo Players (Where are they now?)

Good for him! He was a hell of a player and overall good dude.

 

Last time I saw Bobby was on that open pub night to honor Brian Ching. I bought buckets of beers for everyone there that night, Bobby posted up with me and we had a few laughs about life, the league on how the players never hear of what goes on around the stadium when we play Liga MX clubs in CCL play. Good guy and solid, reliable centerback. May God bless him and his family.

Liga MX is signing all kinds of foreigners now aside from Central and South American players. A french guy, Americans and now an English guy

 

I keep checking to see if Barnes will get on the field, but haven't seen him yet.

 

English footballer that plays internationally for Jamaica now earning a living in the Mexican First. Never thought I would say that one. Talk about "The Future is Now".
Good on him!

 

sorry that I missed this one...heard that Miami has dropped down to NPSL:

Ibeagha is on NYC's first team, and has played 5 games and started 1. How?

 

The Dynamo released Ibeagha after the 2016 season. He signed and played with San Antonio FC (USL) in 2017. He was named the USL Defender of the Year. NYCFC signed him this pre-season.

 

Because our FO is full of mental midgets

Oliver Luck will become the first commissioner and chief executive officer of the XFL, he told ESPN.

 

OK, and when that year is over?

 

Cubo has the best agent lol - I guess they also know he is better than Quioto and Elis COMBINED!

 

By then Chris and Matt with be fired so he'll have a job waiting for him?

Brian Ownby was a Dynamo 2012-2014. He was on loan to Richmond (USL) for most of 2013 and then loaned to Pittsburgh (USL) in 2014. He did have 29 appearances for Houston in total.

Ownby was with Richmond 2014-206 and then Louisville City 2017-2018.

 

Ever since Oduro left and Ashe got moved to back we have kind of forgotten about the idea of the speed or energy sub. There is definitely value to a Memo putting the ball right on a head. But there is also value to someone fast or hustling. Particularly under Cabrera the trend has instead been towards steady, technical, and older. Like you graduate from starter to starter emeritus aka sub.

Personally I'd like to see us get younger players out there like we did that one week, something like Memo/Gil/Steeves. We do not seem to think through the sub package and how it will produce, making sure there are both tablesetters and targets in there. I mean we are chasing the game in Montreal and Utah and it's like, ok, you just pulled Elis, how is anything going to happen now. It's not very cooked tactically.

I see Ownby as a victim of this sort of "graduation" sensibility. I don't think he was technical enough to start but he would raise more heck than watching Alvarez come on. Alvarez is more calm, veteran, and composed, but draws a high veteran salary and then I have rarely seen a game where that changed a thing. And often what you need are special qualities and not just average height and speed plus some soccer IQ.

 

I also think someone like Ownby is useful in a hustling "closer" package. One thing I haven't really seen either is a definite decision to pack it in and sub in three people to defend. Closest we came to it we swapped in a back and seemed to go to 5 backs.

Ashe was never very good, but if you subbed him in with 20 minutes left for Davis his work rate made it hard to reverse a lead. If you got him one on one he couldn't defend that well, but half of defending that position is hustling end to end and being in position.

But like one year opening weekend they subbed in Wenger as a DM. You throw out 3 snarling hustling guys like that with a lead and it's a little different than "just a bunker."

Euan Holden (former Dynamo and Brother of Stuart) is now internet famous because a lady hilariously storied his encounter with another woman on a plane. Now know as #planebae

https://www.click2houston.com/news/...nvolves-former-houston-dynamo-players-brother

 

Honestly, he joins the mile high club and tells the girl he's not interested in anything long term and all the women of the internet are swooning over the love story.

 

apparently the two are "in contact" with each other. I was pretty sure he stabbed on the plane and bounced after they got their luggage... He has been Good Morning America already, so I see him possibly on the Bachelor at some point..

 

Good for him
