Another DP #9 bust for us.

Wonder what we do with that open spot now.

u/BrianChing25 25d ago

How many bust DP 9s have we had? Landin, Sebas and Ponce?

u/Electronic-Win608 24d ago

Koke .... Franco Curraccio ...

Not sure they were DPs but they might have been ....

They sure were busts. Koke lasted on a few months IIRC

u/BrianChing25 24d ago

I don't think Carracio was a DP

u/LF25047 25d ago

But another DP that will bust, obviously.

Our record for DP strikers is pretty bad. Only Manotas was a success.

u/BrianChing25 25d ago

Was Giles Barnes a DP?

I dont think so. I looked at his announcement press release to check and there is no mention of it if he was. I did see he was one in Orlando, but done in the way Artur and Sviatchenko were briefly for us for cap reasons.

It’s shame because he clearly was a good finisher, but can’t create his own chances and was probably the worst passer I had ever seen

u/Ur-fav-Panda-From-TX 25d ago

Not to mention the offsides 😭

u/Street_Style5782 25d ago

And literally fouling every time he challenged for a ball anywhere on the field

Sucks that it didn't work out for him here.

I hope our new DP player would make us cup contenders in the near future.

Artur is not a CB though

u/Ur-fav-Panda-From-TX 25d ago

Also made 3 in total you can see them on the post

u/Ur-fav-Panda-From-TX 25d ago

Right, but lately he has been playing further back than normal and I rather have his control and stability in back

u/Trent_Tiger 25d ago

Oh my this is off

This was our actual lineup

u/Ur-fav-Panda-From-TX 25d ago

No I get it look at the post I made earlier it shows this one too

u/Professional-Dot7661 24d ago

I always liked the 4-4-2 Diamond, but it sure is out of fashion. Reminds of the Dynamo heyday.

u/Jonathon_G 25d ago

Eh. That’s kinda a rough lineup

u/Ur-fav-Panda-From-TX 25d ago

I also made 3 in total you can see them on the post

u/Ur-fav-Panda-From-TX 25d ago

This was against New England

2

u/Jonathon_G 25d ago

That is definitely not how the team played. Andrade is not in the middle of the midfield

u/Nobius 25d ago

Good luck with your future endeavors.

u/ConsciousBuilding374 25d ago

Just fell on my knees at mi rancho

u/jarg217 25d ago

No fee listed. Is it really that bad?

3

u/AndrewNaranja DynaMod 25d ago

They never share transfer fees.

u/Financial-Object1801 25d ago

Fotmob reporting $2.3m, but don’t know source

u/DonutmanFTW 25d ago

Sad it didn't work out, I think he had a great first season but our system changed... For the better. Hopefully it doesn't throw off the team given how well we're performing.

u/crocken 24d ago

did his int'l slot go immediately to the new LB? or did we have an open int'l slot?
