In a story on FCDallas.com, the club released its camp roster. Here it is in all its numerical glory.
Preseason numbers are not final, they can change when the roster is cut down.

I’ve confirmed from my contacts that Jesus Jimenez and Jose Mulato are not in camp. FCD in their story said Enes Sali is not here yet either.
This could be a sign that fcd is ready to get rid of jimenez. Also we need to sell mulato. No future at dallas.
It could be a sign for sure. Hope so.
The roster release from FCD indicates Arriola is a DP and that Dallas has 8 internationals (Twumasi and Fraser must both have Green Cards or maybe they’ve changed the international rules for Canadiens). Regardless, in order to add a starting level CB they are going to have to acquire or free up another international slot or make a trade within MLS for a domestic CB. I really doubt the latter will happen – what can Dallas offer in return? The former is more likely but only if they can offload one of Mulato or Jimenez and I’m not sure who would want them.
More and more i feel they aren’t going to acquire a starting level CB but are going to roll with Gonzalez being the third CB. It’s very depressing because expecting Ibeagha to repeat last year’s performance (which was fine but not great) is unrealistic and there is no way Gonzalez will be able to meet the level required if Ibeagha falls off.
Twumasi already had a green card.
Fraser is a Canadian Homegrown, so doesn’t count as an international.
More on CB on the podcast this week.
What do you think of the rumors regarding Fc dallas’s interest in signing croatian striker peter musa?
Seems like he might be going to Bologna.
But I like the caliber of the player. If FCD gets someone like that I will be pleased.
