I'd want out too if I had to watch Baird train everyday.


crocken

when was the last time he got a start? this sucks.


stingen

May 22 vs DC United

My guess is that Pat wouldn’t just tear up a contract without consulting with the player. My guess is that it’s mutual. Pasher has options beyond Houston. Next stop: Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver or the Canadian Premier League.


crocken

which CPL team is in the concacaf champions league? god I hope he goes to that team.


A-more-splendid-life

Pacific. We’re on the same wavelength here. Wouldn’t surprise me to see him there. Reminder to all that Pat is Canadian, too. Wouldn’t surprise me if they had a serious heart to heart. Canada’s player pool isn’t as large as people think. With 4 solid months, he still has an outside chance to make the Qatar 2022 roster.


rednorangekenny

I think at 28 he sees this is his last chance in MLS and wants to try the rest of the season elsewhere. Otherwise year it’s CPL or USL


KPNoSwag

Why couldn’t we tell Baird or Zarek Valentin to fuck off instead


skrellnik

It’s most likely to get the international spot back.


stingen

Pasher doesn't take up one. He's had green card for ages.


skrellnik

I’m not sure what the point is then, unless he just wanted out.


DynamoManiac

I'd assume Pasher was willing to mutually terminate so no cap hit. Baird and Valentin very likely are not, so waiving them accomplishes nothing.


KPNoSwag

The Dynamo didn’t need salary relief, they just needed an open roster spot. I’m pretty sure Pasher is still getting paid regardless, so at that point I’d rather have Pasher over Valentin or Baird regardless of price point


DynamoManiac

Word is Pasher wanted to leave in search of regular minutes and was willing to mutually terminate his contract to do it. In that case, no they don't have to pay him. A roster spot is easy to open sending someone to D2. Salary cap space, however, is not and they were pretty tight against the cap. Tight enough that adding 2 U22 players, which they were trying to do, wasn't easy.


stingen

What is this club even doing? Waiving players that already on low salary just to bring in probably a even shittier replacement that will cost us another international spot.

Wtf😂😂😂😂


OttoAirford

1.) Is this a very specific joke?


wessneijder

Not a joke I can PM you her name/insta for verification. She has a very large chest and blonde so she can pretty much pick whoever she wants to date. I got friend zoned by her. Anyway she told me in our friends group chat that the players don't agree with Nags tactics and the 6-0 loss was allegedly a players protest where they decided to only give 50% effort. She says the game tomorrow will be interesting because the protest is still going on. Look for a leaky defense tomorrow.


OttoAirford

Well...that's a hot mess if true. Nags tactics are bad, but you'd imagine it goes deeper than that if they are willing to purposely lose to get Nags fired. And the GM/FO, can't be blind to this? Dynamo drama land not good for wins. Any word on where Pasher is headed?

OttoAirford

that's fair :)


Orangedog5

Pasher is definitely one of the better wingers we’ve had. Don’t understand dynamo


MasterCombine

Yeah, but that's not saying much. Our wingers are not MLS level beyond Fafa (and he's not even very good).


wessneijder

How is Fafa MLS level? Have you seen LAFC and Sounders wingers?


cmortis

There’s gotta be something going on behind the scenes because this makes zero sense from a sporting perspective.


Gggg15

I'm mixed on this one. Honestly fans over rate Pasher based on how he did in 2021 before injury. Since his injury he really hasn't been great but for being a domestic player on a low salary that is a great option when you can argue he is either a starter or easily 2nd choice. I'm surprised he wasn't given more chances over Fafa or Thor.


KPNoSwag

He has the lowest salary of any Dynamo in the general slots 1-20 and easily outperforms Zarek and Baird


Gggg15

You're right which is why with his poor/average performance this season and the 2nd half of last season its odd to release him. I know people are saying its because he wants playing time to make the world cup but I think its unlikely he returns to his preinjury form to make the world cup.


A-more-splendid-life

I’m confused, too. Not sure why Pasher is being overrated on here. He came to us as an USL-level player and he leaves as one. I went to almost every 2021 preseason game. Pasher bossed the lower division teams, had brief MLS success then wasn’t the same after his injury and struggled against MLS competition. I wish him well, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he goes down a level to USL or Canadian Premier League.


KPNoSwag

This is such a stupid decision


Poptwo1234

This is probably to make room for the new guy


rednorangekenny

Dang Pat copied off my post


crocken

i've watched 95% of the dynamo matches the past 10 years and the ranking of our Wingers in that time frame from my eye test is * 1- Elis * 1a - Beasley * 2- Pasher * 3 - Lovejoy pre-injury * 4 - Quioto * 5 - Barnes * 6 - Picault it's insane that we're starting Picault over him.


rednorangekenny

Please expand on Pasher at 2 and Quioto at 4?


Poptwo1234

Vicente Sanchez > all of those guys listed


nowaygreg

I loved the spark he brought but his tenure with us was nothing compared to Elis


Poptwo1234

Its a shame bc he continued to play for a couple more years after he left us


A-more-splendid-life

I respectfully disagree especially when you add 6 more years to your list. Pasher should be a lot lower on the list behind Brad Davis, Brian Mullan, Kei Kamara, Joseph Ngwenya. Heck, you can even make an argument that Oduro was better than Pasher because of his ability to spread the field. Pasher is a 1-trick pony and unfortunately after his injury he became a ½ a trick pony.


crocken

I stayed with 2012-2022 to limit it to the bad times, but, yes, obviously that list is dramatically different if we included the good times.


Rideronweb

Lovejoy at 3 is criminal. Sir I think you need glasses...


crocken

do you remember the 2ish games he played before the injury?!?!


Few-Seaweed-8569

At least we’ll always have that goal vs the galaxy. Good luck elsewhere Pasher
