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?

Nate Jaqua Trade To Houston Dynamo

The Houston Chronicle reports that the Houston Dynamo are close to closing a deal that will bring Nate Jaqua to Houston in trade for Kelly Gray. Gray is a backup defender that has played in 9 games at right back or in the midfield this season for the Dynamo.

I guess Jaqua’s zero assists and one goal in 10 games this season doesn’t afford him the luxory of determining where he plays using the or else I’ll go to Europe tactic. Did the fans vote him into the allstar game?

Nate Jaqua goin to the Galaxy

I don’t understand what is goin on with Nate Jaqua. First the Fire let Torornt get their hands on him in the expansion draft, and then Toronto send him off to the Galaxy. I would think any MLS team would love to have Nate Jaqua starting up front for them. Am I just overrating him?

Joe Cannon and Nate Jaqua are gonna take the Galaxy back to the playoffs.
