Squad

The knee: Lance Rozeboom out for 137 days

137 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. FC Dallas lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

Santiago Moreno in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at FC Dallas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

Joaquín Valiente gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Joaquín Valiente is on it.

Market

The Daniel talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. FC Dallas know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout

Justin Dhillon has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Justin Dhillon has written the date down.

The dugout

Kaick knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at FC Dallas, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Boardroom

Deadline passes with 12 signed and 1 gone

That is the business done at FC Dallas until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Transfer targets

An offer of $540.0K for D.J. Taylor

FC Dallas have gone to Minnesota United FC with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad

Herman Johansson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Herman Johansson commits to FC Dallas for another 4 years.

Squad

Daniel in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at FC Dallas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

CF Montreal tell FC Dallas: Victor Loturi is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout

Herman Johansson gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

One of our own: James Adams joins the FC Dallas first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. James Adams is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Dylan Brooks joins the FC Dallas first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Dylan Brooks is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Josh Turner steps up from the FC Dallas academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Josh Turner has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
