FC Dallas began it's process of reworking the roster today, cutting 4 players from it's squad. Those players are: Ruben Luna, Bryan Leyva, Matias Jara, and Bruno Guarda. The more interesting names are Luna and Leyva, who were homegrown products. They also have the unwanted distinction of being the first homegrown products to be cut by the club.
According to Schellas Hyndman, those players were not substantially able to help the club when they faced their injury crisis earlier this year. These places will be used to help make what Hyndman hopes are much needed changes to the roster.
Dallas had high hopes for Luna this year after he had previously led the MLS Reserve League in goals. However after being injured in the preseason he scored only goal in 208 minutes for Dallas. They in turn loaned him to San Antonio of the NASL, but the move failed to improve his form or confidence.
It will be interesting to see who Dallas picks up. They've signed quite a few homegrown players, but really have yet to see one pan out. It'll also be interesting to see if any other MLS clubs pick up on any of these guys on a cheap deal.
