As I mentioned in the previous article I stuck around Frisco for the evening session. I also mentioned I had some personal business come up. It prevented me from getting back home in a timly fashion so I didn’t start on this piece till almost 1 AM.
This may be a bit convoluted, so stay with me if you can. While I was at FCD training this morning, SBI said FC Dallas was about to deal Dax McCarty to San Jose. At the time I hadn’t heard about it, so as I mentioned here, I asked FCD Head Coach Schellas Hyndman about McCarty in a general way and the gaffer didn’t mention any trade. After training I learned about the reported trade and also the Frank Yallop denial. When I went back to training this evening I was able to specifically ask Hyndman about the reported McCarty deal. Here’s what he said.
My gosh it’s nice today. Beautiful in the morning and it might even hit 80. I love Dallas in the “winter.” This is a quick report on the first session this morning. There is a second session at 6 PM and I’m sticking around to watch it. I found some internet at a local coffee shop and figured I’d bang out a quick report.
After asking about eight questions today of various FCD staffers about Danny Torres and when he would be joing FCD only to be given given eight “maybe” and “we’re close” answers, the rapily-becoming-more-of-a-news-orginization-than-a-soccer-club FC Dallas broke the story on their blog that Torres is joing the team.
He’s apparently disagreed with John Doyle over how much of a pay cut to take.
Ives says San Jose, Yallop denies. Here’s what I know.
Spring is in the air… yes even though it’s January. Everyone feels young, refreshed, and raring to go. It’s a joyous time to take in a little FC Dallas training.
These photos are by Craig Marcho who was kind enough to share them with everyone. There were a massive amount of them, which you can see at this link, but this slide show is the best 30.
Edit: Shea has been playing left mid and left wing.
You may have noticed by now that Dax McCarty has not arrived in Dallas for spring training. After further investigation it turns out he’s down home in Florida. FCD head coach Schellas Hyndman says it’s the team’s decision that McCarty has not returned to Dallas.
