Roster Decisions
Who is staying with FC Dallas? Who is on the way out?
FC Dallas dropped roster decisions last week, most notably declining the options of Jose Martinez and Facundo Quignon. Jader Obrian is in contract negotiations. With a full roster, there isn’t much wiggle room to work with, so we will peek in on FC Dallas’ press conference today for insight into how they plan to move forward.
Did they get the decisions right? What areas need to be addressed?
Big Time Signing
FC Dallas also announced a U22 initiative signing, Romanian winger Enes Sali, a talented guy originally from Toronto. He’s young and emerging but has already made his professional debut. The kid looks to have all the tools to help Dallas get even stronger in the attack.
A random Twitter person said of the signing, “FC Dallas plays football manager.” Guess the kid is a find in the game too?
In the press conference today, FC Dallas head coach Nico Estevez stressed that there is no timetable for Sali’s impact. They will give him all the opportunity to take the next step and grow with the team.
See you in under two hours, as we’ll take your comments and reactions to all of the news as well.
