Luis Ángel Landín- Houston Dynamo

Landín signed with the Houston Dynamo as their first designated player in August of 2009 on loan from Monarcas Morelia in Liga MX. Before signing with Houston, Landín spent half a season on loan with Cruz Azul, scoring 7 goals in 16 appearances. His time with Houston was riddled with injury and terrible form and he only saw the field 16 times. You can tell how much Houston wanted him gone. With his loan expiring at the end of the 2010 season, the Dynamo wanted him gone a little over a year into his time with the Dynamo and parted ways with him in July, 5 months before his loan expired.
