Few MLS clubs entered the off season in as good a position as FC Dallas. With one of the most complete rosters in MLS, FCD had few concerns to address. They may have addressed their greatest area of need in the reported signing of Panamanian forward Cristian Colman.
One could argue that filling the short term vacancy of Mauro Diaz was the club’s biggest hurdle this winter. The short term absence of the star midfielder was adequately addressed by signing Javier Morales. With Morales in fold, the need for a number 9 was atop the list.
