The terraces

Anger at Houston Dynamo spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Market

Alexis Alvarez hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Houston Dynamo can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Alexis Alvarez comes home

The shirt still fits. Alexis Alvarez is back at Houston Dynamo, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Squad

Nelson Quiñones falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Chauncy Freeman stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Chauncy Freeman and Houston Dynamo agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Declan Bennett in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Houston Dynamo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Houston Dynamo turn down Remo Stars for Duran Ferree

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Houston Dynamo may not be able to give Felipe Andrade what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Felipe Andrade wants continental football; whether Houston Dynamo can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad

Nelson Quiñones in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Houston Dynamo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Houston Dynamo sign Declan Bennett, one for the future

Declan Bennett is 19, and Houston Dynamo have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Houston Dynamo

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad

Matt Robinson signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Matt Robinson and Houston Dynamo agree another 3 years.
