Houston Dynamo losing strikers

The defending champions Houston Dynamo are losing strikers left and right.  Paul Daglish was released at the end of last year.  Nate Jaqua is supposedly looking for a job in Austria and it was just announced that Joseph Ngwenya is on his way to Austria.

Ngwenya has just signed a deal with SK Austria and keeps him there until the end of the current Austrian season with an option to add another full season.  SK Austria is currently at the bottom of the top Austrian league approximately half way through their season.

Assuming Jaqua goes as well, this leaves the Dynamo with Brian Ching as the only real proven striker on the roster.  As of right now Corey Ashe, Dwayne De Rosario, Brian Mullan, and Erik Ustruck are the only players on the roster listed as forwards or M-F.  De Rosario and Mullan are more suited to play in the middle.  I don’t know much about Ashe or Ustruck.  Dynamo fans – you want to depend on Ashe or Ustruck to partner with Ching this year, or do you move De Rosario and Mullan share time moving forward to partner with Ching?

Moreno Ngwenya Trade Pays Off

A Few weeks back Houston sent Alejandro Moreno to Columbus in exchange for Joseph Ngwenya.  Today the two teams faced off against each other for the first time.  Ngwenya scored the first goal of the game, but aparently Moreno was not feeling like he wanted to be on that end of the trade, so a short 3 minutes later he tied the game up.  Only a few minutes later Houston Dynamo got the game winning own goal for the 2-1 victory over the Columbus Crew.

Columbus and Houston Hook Up For A Trade

It seems Alejandro Moreno has been sent from the Houston Dynamo to the Columbus Crew for Joseph Ngwenya.

I can’t figure who came out better on this trade. Both players are quality and could have a chance to step up their game with a new team after this trade.

Who do you think got the better deal out of this?
