    Taking all the "big" signings that were promised to us this summer together does run counter to the win now narrative. Isolating edge cases can make it appear that everything is fine and there's nothing to see here, but that's a tactic of a press secretary and counts on folks not being able to see the complete texture.

    We've been told since the beginning of last off season to wait until this summer & all will be well. The anticipation and the intimation was much larger than the delivered goods. So far.

    Reality is what is a "big" signing to the Dynamo FO and "the project" is not likely to move needles with fans. They may be excellent signings, but the Dynamo in current soccer transfer markets today are highly unlkely to ever spend enough for a name player anywhere near his prime. HH is the ceiling.

    This popped up on my Youtuber feed: Its a short, rather silly, interview with Eric Sviatchenko and his father.

    Bombazo of a strike in the Semi Final!

    However, Raines was showing well in the Final but suffered two leg cramps late on in the Final versus Mexico circa minute 89. He didn't need to be subbed off but the coach decided to do just this in stoppage time and this move had a tremendous domino effect on his teammates. I mean their collapse late on was epic in performance. Specifically the player that replaced Raines.

    Yeah. Guy has less than a few minutes as a pro. I like the team putting effort into finding young prospects.

    Exon Arzu has been signed on a permanent deal to the Dynamo first team. He’s a U22 signing but is on the roster due to Quinones’ Season Ending Injury designation. Of course that leads to a decision to be made next season. With them having 3DPs and 4 U22 someone will have to give way. The obvious answer is to sell/buyout Sebas. Alternatives include not renewing HH’s contract (team option after this year) or selling Aliyu. It’ll be interesting to see which direction they end up going.

    Are there no buy-down-with-GAM options?

    Actually I'm glad you mentioned that. I saw this yesterday but forgot to post. Asher suggests they have room to do that with Econ.

    Dynamo make their final roster addition of the year (roster freeze apparently occurred last midnight) in signing Junior Moreno. Most recently played in the Saudi league but was a major contributor to Cincinnati’s Shield winning team last year

    This list is the one that stings, have to wait for their talent to return to the run of play.

    Technically this would be roster 2025 I guess, but Dynamo take the big step of not picking up HHs club option for 2025.

    Man o man, just reading over that Roster of the 17 players under contract. I want to be up for a run next season but we need reinforcements at every position!

    Thank god they went out to get Junior Moreno! Probably was the idea all along to grab him, evaluate, and negotiate new contract if they think he still has mileage left.

    Only thing I would quibble about is saying "As we look to 2025, we will return the core of our team, and we are already working hard to build on our foundation in the coming transfer windows."

    I'm not really complaining here. It matters not how they describe it. But letting HH go is not returning the core of this team. I don't know why this club insists on constantly saying crap we all know is not true. How many times has Olsen said "As HH goes, we go." That sounds pretty damn core.

    One more thing ... if they don't buyout Sebas Ferriera then Onstad deserves any and all criticism anyone wants to heap on them. Now that matters. No team in this league is failing to buyout seriously underperforming contracts when they have the chance.

    I'll be curious to see what they say about HH. For right now I'll assume the objective is to try and bring him back at a smaller contract.

    On the other hand, I just saw the "Gracias HH" social media post which suggests he is indeed gone.
