FC Dallas will likely have Denilson available for their next game. Denilson is the latest in the trend of using the brand new Designated Player Rule that was put into effect just this season.
With the addition of the Brazilian to the FC Dallas roster he becomes only the 4th World Cup winner to play in MLS. Lothar Matthaus, Branco and Youri Djorkaeff all played for the NY/NJ MetroStars.
When Denilson is officially added to the roster another senior international player will have to leave to make room. They already have their 4 senior internationals on the team and Adrian Serioux is one likely choice to leave. He is from Canada, where Toronto FC could really use some help. Maybe we’ll see something between TFC and FC Dallas coming up soon?

The Brazilian Denilson is a great player, but perhaps the FC Dallas style of play isn’t the perfect fit for him. I think Europe is a better match for Denilson is the improvement of his professional game bears any thought on his mind.
From my view, it won’t be long before the MLS starts signing more and more big foreign names to the league. This will be the result of new expansion teams. I think the FC Barcelona Miami deal looks promising, especially when taking into consideration the potential for international transfers from South America and Europe. FC Barcelona Miami would be in a position to really mix it up in the transfer market.
