Antalyasport for BB; JoJo leaving Turkey; Landin remains in Mexico; Mulrooney in at RB

Looks like other blogs have broken the story about Boswell in Turkey. Seems he is looking to settle down in the coastal town of Antalya until the end of the current season (apparently that is when Antalyaspor will be relegated to Bank Asya 1. Lig based on their current downward spiral).

At the same time, it looks like the Scorpions will be bidding adieu to a former Dynamo forward, with the rumor that Joseph Ngwenya is on his way out. JoJo has only seen time in 3 games since joining the southwestern Turkey side, scoring one goal. In the year or so that Ngwenya left for Europe and the big dollars, he has played in only 4 first team matches, the other being during his short stay with SK Austria Karnten. I am discounting the German Supercup appearance with Bayern Munich.

Cruz Azul has snapped up Landin, so it looks like the Dynamo will have to look elsewhere for that 3rd forward. Surely they won't go into training camp with only Ching, Kamara, CWondo and Ustruck up top. Anybody for El Chaco?? Anybody??

One last item ... it looks as if Richard Mulrooney will indeed go into the season as the starting right back for Houston. Not sure if Waibel is being demoted, is retiring (if so, I am hoping that he joins Charlie Palillo in the booth for all TV games and is on the radio for non-televised matches) or is moving on to another team. I really think this is the end of the road for the most fan-friendly player the Dynamo has seen in it's short existence. But can you think of a better person to lead the Dynamo community relations staff? Hopefully the Warrior will remain in Houston in some capacity.
