The commitment our ownership group has shown with this signing is an important message to our fans and to the city of Houston. This is a historic moment in the history of our club to have the MLS all-time Mexican-born scoring leader wearing the Houston Dynamo jersey. In November, Torres scored five goals in four appearances, including two goals in the final versus Venezuela, as the Mexico Us won the Central American and Caribbean Games.
I look forward to working with him and helping to make him even better. Torres opened each of his two seasons with Chivas USA in goal-scoring form. In , he scored six goals in his first seven games with the Goats. Fagundez never gives in, never gives up: When the Uruguayan has the bit between his teeth, which to be fair he has in the majority of games this season, he is superlative.
A constantly willing runner, putting in a defensive shift as well as an offensive one. He is the definition of perpetual motion. Nevertheless, Wolff will want to ensure that those mistakes are kept to an absolute minimum. Feast or famine: Austin have only scored in 2 of their 7 home games this season. Last Word: The man-advantage definitely influenced the outcome of this match. But, to be fair to Austin, they had to work to make that advantage count. Ring, Pochettino, Dominguez, and Fagundez were especially influential.
They led the way with their work ethic and influence on offense. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Look at Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, LA Dodgers, New York Yankees, and other entities which spent freely at one time or another and have since solidified themselves as powers in their respective leagues.
Yet longterm success is not predicated upon spending, it is merely a facility by which success can be obtained. There are organizations which have obtained success through other means, but in the world of sports there will always be the division of the haves and the have-nots. Does this mean the Houston Dynamo would automatically fall under the have-nots with our thrift-spending Ownership?
If we take a step back and examine the roster, there is actually an underlying theme which I hinted at earlier. The Houston Dynamo are among those clubs who consistently turn out top performers at economic prices. True to form, the current roster exhibits this facet of the club to a 't'. We already know how valuable Brad Davis is out on the wing. His service and ability to change the entire flow of the offense make him one of the best players in Major League Soccer.
Most teams would covet Davis enough they would use a Designated Player slot on him. It should come as no surprise then, at least not to any tried and true Houston Dynamo fan, Brad Davis at his current salary and without using up a Designated Player slot on him is an absolute steal. Granted, he is not as pacey as most Designated Players nor is he one to take over a game entirely on his own, but it is clear we should keep him in consideration when discussing the Ownership and their desire to spend.
Some fans will come into the argument of free-spending versus thrift-spending with nothing more than the knowledge other teams are spending big on players such as Clint Dempsey or David Beckham. What they don't see, however, is exactly how much the Ownership is already spending on the players we currently have on our roster. Can this Ownership group really be pointed at as not spending much money, or is it more the point that when they spend their money the Front Office are experts at maximizing the investment for the highest returns?
Sports are a business, and that is something which will never change. There will always be a focus on maximizing profit and the return on investments. Every player, every coach, every personnel is an investment for the Ownership. While I won't stop my desire to see an even bigger name in orange in the coming seasons, the more I have taken a step back the more I can see the bigger picture.
