It's sad to actually have to say goodbye to DeRo, but I mentioned him getting traded in a couple earlier posts, so I can't say as though I'm too surprised. DeRo supposedly really wanted to play at home, and at 31, he's earned the right in MLS terms.
As sad as it is to lose his clutchiness, strategically, this makes some sense. Holden is more than ready to take over the position. I'm not too familiar with James, but our backline was DESPERATE for speed. Not sure if he's strictly a CB or if he can play either RB or LB... apparently re-signing Boswell is still in the plans, so it will be interesting to see if Ianni is still here in March.
And of course, the Dynamo now have more than a half million to spend on a contract for Boswell and a new forward to replace Jacqua. Kamara and Ching are solid, but they need a third forward, and Wondo probably isn't that guy.
Lots of speculation about bringing in a DP, but I'm not seeing it. I think they'll look south for some young prospects like Caraccio again, but not a 'household' (casa-hold?) name.
Kamara - Ching
Davis/Ashe - Rico - Stuie - Mullan/Cameron
Barrett/Chabala - Boswell/Ianni - Eddie/James - Mulrooney/Waibel
Onstad
Hmmm... I guess Toronto wouldn't give up Marvelle Wynne. Man, would he have ever looked terrific on our backline.
