3rd Degree is reporting that FC Dallas have completed a trade with Columbus Crew and Kansas City Wizards, seeing them acquire two international roster spots. FC Dallas sent their 2009 MLS SuperDraft 4th round pick to Kansas City for an international spot, and sent their 2009 first round Supplemental Draft pick to Columbus in exchange for another international spot. The trades will give new head coach Schellas Hyndman the necessary roster spots to acquire the two south american based players he is currently scouting.

According FC Dallas’ blog River Plate VP Mario Israel and GM Alredo Wodke flew to Dallas to meet with FC Dallas GM Michael Hitchcock to continue discussing a possible partnership between the two clubs. The two River Plate reps will spend the next few days in Dallas attending Fridays match with Kansas City. A partnership between the two clubs would be a great thing for FC Dallas and Major League Soccer. River Plate have a rich tradition of developing quality players, and if FC Dallas could work out a deal with the Argentine giants, it would be a great achievement. What do you think of the potential partnership?
