Don’t worry, the weekend recaps are coming soon (probably in the morning). But I wanted to knock out some of the transfer rumors that are happening right now around Major League Soccer. Today’s big rumor takes place here in the Big D. FC Dallas is said to be looking into signing Argentine striker Ariel Ortega.
Dallas recently traded for two international roster spots and Ortega seems to be at the top of their list.
“Our priority is to find a forward that can step in right away, play 90 minutes and score and set some goals,” Ellinger said. “I’m going to give [Ortega] a shot.”
Hyndman said FC Dallas would like to find an experienced impact player who can complement Kenny Cooper on offense. But an international star such as Ortega – who may be as popular in his country as Diego Maradona – could be expensive.
“The ownership is [financially] prepared if the right player is presented to make our team more competitive, even if that means a designated player,” Ellinger said.
