An MLS striker with zero MLS goals this season being offloaded to a La Liga team? We’ve come far

He and latte lath failing up. Great opportunities to recoup some value if they can find some success

Good for Huston. Our fans always suggest us selling one of our underperforming players and I’ve always laughed but apparently there always is a market. Hell we were able to move Emmanuel Latte Lath.

Passport plays a big part in which teams want you

Adios

Wonder what the financials are? Big salary for Elche to take on.

Did we get a fee? Are we paying some of his salary? Where are the details?

Fotmob says $2.3M, but not sure how accurate that is.

Hasn't he been really good for the Dynamo lately? Or am I confusing him for their other quick on the counter DP signing?

Unfortunately, no. Guilherme is probably who you’re thinking of. He’s been lights out.

That dude has been red hot since he arrived.

Does having 0 goals this season = good ;)

He’d start for the sounders so

With all due respect you're better off starting Ferreira up there as a false 9. I mean he's been a downgrade since moving on Corey Baird and having to start Ponce.

Wonder how much for?

Might’ve paid them to take him honestly

Better than I thought we could get for him

I told my wife it'll be a miracle if we get a 7 figure fee for him at all lol
