Wowowow!
Dynamo worked the system pretty good to acquire Felix Garcia, an 18-yr old forward from Laredo.
Quote:
The Dynamo has completed the signing of U.S. Under-20 star Felix Garcia, acquiring his rights from the PDL Laredo Heat for an undisclosed fee, sources confirmed to SBI on Tuesday night. Houston is set to introduce the 18-year-old striker as its newest signing at a press conference on Thursday. Garcia will join the Dynamo as a member of the MLS Generation adidas program. ...
So how did Garcia wind up with the Dynamo rather than in the 2009 MLS Draft? Garcia signed a pro contract with the Laredo Heat, which allowed him to be acquired outside of the draft despite being just 18. When Garcia's representatives, the Wasserman Media Group, conveyed Garcia's desire to stay in Texas, that narrowed the field to the Dynamo and FC Dallas.

With the Chinger lined up for WCQ duties this year, this could be an excellent opportunity. I'm really starting to get excited about the future here at the position, with Kamara and Danny Cruz. Plus it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Ngwenya back in orange, maybe sooner than later.
The schedule is supposed to come out later today too.
Losing DeRo might be tough, but with the re-signing of Boswell, the elevation of Holden, and now the adds of the draft, Tally, and Felix... I'm getting pumped.
