Since this forum is dead I'm asking everyone to post any article they find on the team to this thread to get something going here. I'll start with these two. https://3rddegree.net/nine-fc-dallas-u14s-named-to-canceled-us-u14-central-regional-id-camp https://www.bigdsoccer.com/2020/3/30/21200328/fc-dallas-academy-u15-players-scouting
Not so FCD pointed, but one that I enjoyed seeing yesterday. Chris Richards making transfer waves. https://sbisoccer.com/2020/03/report-arsenal-and-chelsea-eyeing-usmnt-prospect-chris-richards
http://americansoccernow.com/articl...ng-covid-crisis-planning-for-challenging-2020 https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2020...st-xi-players-you-cant-imagine-another-jersey I can see Hedges never leaving but I could see Hollinshead going close to home and play for Sacramento to finish his career.
Another bargain barrel grab at striker? https://www.bigdsoccer.com/fc-dalla...-gremio-striker-andre-felipe-ribeiro-de-saoza
I don't really get that but there may be player movement we aren't aware of or a need resulting from future schedule changes. It could also be the old player agent using MLS as a bargaining chip.
I think depending on when leagues in Europe start back up and decide to start the new season, there could be some loan signings. Think of it as extended rehab for some of them.
I'm the life support of this place. Where else can we have civilized discussions? Twatter? Hell no...
Ya it seems like the forums here have been going the way of dinosaurs. The Arsenal board has a few posts, but it is not as active as it used to be.
Not directly FCD news, but related as FCD's DA program has been a clear benchmark for teams to shoot for. Buzz had been hinting for a few days the DA was closing shop for good, seems something official will come down today. https://theathletic.com/1746877/202...-boys-and-girls-development-academy-programs/ https://sports.yahoo.com/report-u-soccer-terminate-developmental-235907963.html
More transfer rumors, this time for Cannon. I think a move to Germany would be perfect. France might be another good destination. https://www.starsandstripesfc.com/u...cannon-transfer-bundesliga-interest-usa-usmnt
I agree. I think his game and mentality are a great fit for a Bundesliga team. Hopefully a miditable or better team so he's not in one of those yo-yo relegation / promotion clubs.
A good feature on the Bazan Brothers/Papi. https://www.prosoccerusa.com/mls/or...ian-bazan-cherish-time-together-on-off-pitch/
I've also heard Belgium and a good team there or France would work too. Not England until you've already done it somewhere else and they pay real money for you so they have to give you a fair chance.
SBI's FCD Best XI https://sbisoccer.com/2020/05/kreis-hedges-and-ferreira-headline-the-fc-dallas-all-time-best-xi
If you tweak the formation to a 4-3-3 with Kreis and Ferreira as the 8/10's and Castillo and Barrios in their familiar winger positions I'd like it more (still a bit of a all start team midfield with probably not enough bite other than Leo). That back line is a mess though. Either nowhere near the best player at the position or a partner that doesn't fit. Also not sure Blas is the best forward ever. I'd probably go Fish but it's close enough not to quibble - I'd choose who works better with the rest and go find out who messed up the defense and kick their ass.
https://sbisoccer.com/2020/06/repor...0ueqdRykYwzFPXRnzQQ2qwQ_YAYVxzhTt-83xZm-4XyrA Reggie Cannon may be locked up long-term by MLS side FC Dallas, but it hasn’t stopped European teams from reportedly having him on their radar. The 22-year-old Homegrown Player has totaled 71 appearances for FCD in all competitions. Cannon has registered three goals and four assists for FC Dallas, recently helping them to an MLS Cup Playoffs berth in 2019.
Buzz reporting that three players tested positive AFTER arriving in O-Town. If my math is correct, That would put FCD's total at seven. https://3rddegree.net/sources-three...sitive-for-covid-19-since-arriving-in-orlando
Someone on another board or twitter said it was now nine. Not sure who the first one or three were. Heard names of the second group of three but Buzz said he had reconsidered and wouldn't name names of the current three.
Yeah. It’s up to nine total but only six since they arrived in Orlando. I think that the club is somewhat fudging because three tested positive before departure but far enough out that by the time they left, they’d tested negative. ex: Jesus, who was the original but went thru quarantine.
Well no more FC Dallas this season unless something changes. They pulled out of the tournament. Third Degree has the information.
Well, crap. Is the team staying in Orlando to quarantine? If so, they may be able to still play those scheduled group games during the knockout phases of the tourney. They won't count for the tournament, but they could be regular season games. Otherwise, the schedule congestion for whatever the league has planned post-tournament (which, knowing MLS is, "we don't actually have a plan") will be brutal.
