FC Dallas President, Dan Hunt, spoke to MLSsoccer.com's Sam Stejskal yesterday about how FC Dallas can rebuild for 2019. Among Hunt's main points were that the team does not need another #9, a reluctance over further investment in Designated Players, the belief that Michael Barrios could be another Josef Martinez, and a desire to add to the present set of FC Dallas wingers. For anyone counting, there are 14 wingers or part-time wingers on the 2018 FC Dallas first team roster and ten of those are guaranteed for next year.
The younger Hunt potentially gave us a glimpse of what he has in mind for 2019 by citing Sporting Kansas City, Real Salt Lake, and the Portland Timbers as not requiring a dominant #9 to achieve success.
