Dalglish's willingness to move back to Houston as summer approaches...well, that's a sign that he sure loves his new bride. Brandi better appreciate him.
As for the soccer side, he was clutch here for the Dynamo as the 2006 season came to a close, but he didn't do much in 2007: during the season, in our US Open match versus a USL team, and with our Reserves. Part of the problem might have been injury, but that doesn't explain the slump in its entirety.
So the Dynamo need a forward with pace who can (and will, dangitall!) shoot the ball. Dalglish is in town looking for a way to pay his bills. And he must still feel comfortable with the team since he took the time to visit his former teammates. Is this kismet? Or just a strange coincidence?
The idea of him returning has a certain appeal to me, but I don't know if the Dynamo want a guy who couldn't score versus MLS Reserves or a USL team. I wonder if Daggers isn't too old for the rigors of the MLS. But, could he serve as a mentor to some of the young strikers on the team? I don't know; but it would be cool if he could return and contribute to the club. We've never lost an MLS Cup while he was on the roster.
Finally, I hope he doesn't resent his wife for dragging him back to Texas. I'd hate to see a Las Vegas wedding end in divorce. Has that ever happened? Looking at the wedding photo, she's a little cutie. Looks like Paige Davis from Trading Spaces. Am I wrong? Yeah, I don't think he could resent her.
But can he score for the Dynamo? And would the Dynamo give him another chance? (The answer to the second question is probably "no." Not because of any hard feelings, but because that ship has sailed.)

I'm quite flattered that my question spawned an entry!
By way of experience (Houston girl married to a Scotsman) I wondered how long she'd last in the climate. Scotland is beautiful but the weather is brutal. Have you ever seen "Trainspotting", remember the famous line: it's shite being Scottish...and all the fresh air in the world won't make any f***ing difference!
Hope you don't mind me swearing on your blog.
Anywho.
Realistically, I don't think Daggers has a shot at making the team as a player. Depending on what you read (and who you believe) he might've had other issues as well. But I tend to agree with your mentor angle maybe that is an option. As you say, he is obviously comfortable enough to show up at practice and there must be an element of hospitality on behalf of the team.
Entertaining to ponder the possibilities.
Bring on the mighty DC United...Go Dynamo!
I hope we see Brandi Daggers at Robertson. She's hot!
What the hell is up with the swearing? That sh!t is just wrong! lol
I dont think Daggers will give us the goals we need but we need somthing up front. Maybe we should try Brandi up top.
