That's how its done
“worriers” works. Clever word play and all
“warriers”, however, is either an egregious typo or someone at Sporting News is definitely making a stretch referring to a caste of Indian culture. I’m going with the former.
It really, really stinks with Dixon now out for about 3 weeks; our fate may have been decided by then, either ill or good. It would’ve been nice to have him for the next 3-4 games but I guess we’ll have to make due with what we have as a sub . Hopefully he can maintain fitness levels until then so that all that is required is some contact practice before putting him back out there.
I hope that Camargo can continue the form and promise he showed in the Monterrey match…I realize it was a bit of a skewed environment but it doesn’t detract from what he showed out there, and the pairing with Moffat seemed to be an answer to prayers. Let’s see how it plays out…and KEEP CAMERON AT CB.
I’m not going to touch the whole “win one on the road” thing. We’ve analyzed that thing to death. I think the only way they’d win if we made the field at KC into a minefield (not fa from the truth – it looked wretched against LAG on Monday) and let a bunch of WPS-style squirrels out there. It seems we require a high degree of difficulty to perform when needed, so let’s just see what happens.
I'm CRAZY for mentioning this
So since our new stadium opens next season, the Dynamo HAVE to go BIG for a DP. I don’t know but…do y’all think Javier “El Conejo” Saviola would be too much? I would love to see him play here :)

He
would be the kind of striker we’ve been needing, but unfortunately I think the price isn’t right. If I’m not mistaken, his salary is at $8-9million…probably well outside what we’d ever go for in a DP. I think the highest we would “go big” would be $2million. :(
But like I said, if we find a “poor man’s” version of El Conejito I’d be thrilled…so dig us up some names :)
I shall do that :)
I got the Conejito idea from playing FIFA 11 last night lol. I’m using him in PSG with him and Hoarau at the forward positions. Target man with a speedster = beast!

Hey
its what we’ve been asking for all year: someone quick to pair up with our stable of target men. Carr was an attempt at that but I’m not sure if he’s going to be an answer to that…but once we get the midfield sorted out that needs to be our next high priority
