Dynamo look to add multiple Designated Players

desi tmac91 · Oct 2, 2010

MLSsoccer.com: Does the team need to clear the cap space for a Designated Player, and is that one of the goals the team has to accomplish this offseason?

Canetti: The one great thing about this offseason is we will have a significant amount of cap space. So we’ll have a lot of flexibility to do what we want to do, whether that is sign new players, a Designated Player, multiple Designated Players, or trade for players with big cap numbers. We haven’t had that cap flexibility at all in the last three years and that’s one of the reasons we traded Dwayne De Rosario, because we were over the cap and we had to figure out how we keep the team afloat and below the cap. So we are in a position we haven’t been in since we’ve been in Houston. Now the trick is deciding on the personnel.

Awesome. Great to hear that ownership is willing to spend to get us back on top.

This shows the stupidity of the DP rule. DeRo should have just been made a DP. That way his salary wouldn't have counted against the same way and he wouldn't have needed to be traded.

The DP rule is great for bringing in expensive foreign talent, but doesn't really address how to adequately pay the best home league talent.

When they wasted it on tubby Landín, it was a costly mistake.

Let's hope they make up or it. I'm hoping to get a South American or a good African player. I'm hating all the others.
