    A great thing, the other ownership group had the Galaxy as their top priority, this group is all Dynamo.

    I can't really explain any of the 3. I don't see the draw. Boniek was a nice side show when he first arrive but has been otherwise quite terrible. His best skills are dribbling into pressure and constantly being out of position. Clark is just a walking red card who hits the occasional goal from distance. For a center mid, he can't distribute. For a defensive mid, he's out of position too often and ends up fouling in bad spots to make up for it. Add to that the re-signing of Bruin and you have the makings of a bummer of an offseason thus far...outside of the ownership change which is huge.

    He's had three red cards in 277 games. How does that make somebody a walking red card?

    I figured Rico was more of an honorary signing, letting him finish his career with the Dynamo. Otherwise I totally agree, he is constantly chasing players around for 90 minutes because he is so out of position.

    I am fine with bringing Boniek back. He is versatile and can still be used as a utility player off the bench imo.

    Ok...he's a walking stupid foul waiting to happen. I think they've made way too much out of his goals this past season...same as Bruin. Maybe it was an honorary signing like rhino17 suggests. If so, I guess that's fine if they find and able replacement for him to start.

    Wow. Good luck Brad! Won't forget the first goal in BBVA stadium, what a shot!

    Is Davis enough of a contributor to net us a decent haul in this trade?

    I think we're just getting draft picks in return.

    Sad to see Brad go but at least he is finishing his career with a good team. I think he has 2 good years left, one as a starter, one as a sub. It'll give him a chance at the all time assist record

    Damn, I'm hoping for this trade was going to be the MLS version of the Cowboys-Vikings trade with Herschel Walker.

    There's a new supporters section for the Dynamo fans and supporters groups. It will now be Sections 215-217.

    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Vh_a6-FdyTw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    I don't think there's not much of a problem with it, except that there's no roof to cover the area. The good thing is that there will be more space and a easier access to get some food and drinks from that area. The new sections reminds me of the area from the old Robertson Stadium.

    Dynamo signed a couple of 2nd division Spanish players ( a center back and a holding mid)

    I assume both are brought here to be starters, both positions need help desperately

    But I know nothing about either of them
