My guess is with Cam Weaver and Landin set to compete for the second starting forward spot, Kamara was third in line and was probably not going to see many more starts.

I know nothing about Abe Thompson, except he will see a lot of bench.

I don't see this as a negative especially if Ching, Landin, and Weaver can stay healthy.

Kei has been on a pretty bad slump for the past several MLS games.

Thompson has appeared in 12 of the 24 MLS related games from September 2008-Present. No goals.
With FC Dallas (2005-2008), he appeared in 69 games with 14 goals.
And before that (2002-2004), he appeared in developmental leagues.

If this was driven by $$$ all the more reason why this league needs to change the cap. When teams can't hold onto players like this when we all know they still want them...makes it depressing.

I think we gave up on Kamara way too fast. Hopefully we don't regret this trade in the future. Kansas City is getting a great player that gives it his all everytime his on the field!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't disagree with this trade. I think Ching, Landin, Weaver and Kamara are all good choices to start up front, so obviously two will be sitting the bench. I would take Weaver over Kamara anyway. If there was intrest in him, then I say take it while it is there and get what you can for him. I don't see this trade hurting us with all the talent we still have up there. It was just a case of too much talent and not enough positions for all of them.

WOW!!!! I can't believe it! Kei is my guy. Why not trade Oduro? He is fast but can't finish. Kei is fast (not quite as fast as Odurio) and can finish. He even changed his game when Ching was gone. He held the ball and worked hard distributing it. Worked hard to get Oduro going and even tried to help get Akimbi involved to no avail (he was hopeless). I love Ching and Weaver. But they don't have speed. Landin is still an unknown, but I haven't seen any speed from him so far either. Kei had a great balance of both speed, scoring, and holding ability to complement Ching, Landin and Weaver. If they're letting him go cuz of the slump then Ching would be gone already. I know Ching is just exhausted and will come around, but so will Kei. I just can't believe they let him go. Really think there is something else involved than meets the eye.

Its a bad trade for the CCL, but let's face it he was the weakest rotational forward the Dynamo have had over their existence: Ching, Dalglish, Moreno, Jaqua, Ngwenya, and Kamara. You might say Dalglish was worse /shrug

Also, right now I'm thinking Weaver should start seeing the minutes over Kamara. Still Oduro is worse, but Kamara wasn't going to be Generation Adidas after this season so /shrug

Due to the Salary cap in this league we were to forward heavy. Also since we gave a DP spot to Landin he has to be in the line up and with Cam coming back and producing Kamara was not going to get any playing time. And like any competitor he was not going to like that at all. I think we got screwed in this trade unless the allocating money is a large sum. In Dom we Trust but this does not look good for us.

Who ever says we got the good end of deal are idiots obviously Kamara is better than Oduro and landin has done nothing since he came so that you all can be talking about him as if he was dwayne. Kamara was a great goal-scorer for us not only in our league also on the champions which landin cant play.We arent going to have great help on top with ching,and landin playing like theyre playing so the only one looking god is weaver and he might not even start on most games.I think it was one of the worst trades houston has made so far (after the DeRo trade) and will efect us a lot specially in the champions. i knew bringing landin wasnt a good idea specially since we were doing good with out him.
