Jackson Goncalves is no longer with FC Dallas, or at least for this season he is. FC Dallas announced today that they have loaned Jackson to Brazilian first division side Cruzeiro.
"Jackson needed to spend some time at home in Brazil for personal reasons," said FC Dallas President and CEO Doug Quinn. "We recognized this and found an opportunity we think will be mutually beneficial."
"Jackson is going to be playing with a very good team in an excellent league, which will help him improve as a player," said FC Dallas head coach Schellas Hyndman. "This loan will also give him the chance to spend the time he needs close to his home."

Interesting comments from Hyndman and Quinn about the loan. We know at times last year that Jackson would be a tad home sick or that his head wasn't entirely in the game.
One thing this does tell us is that the deal with Jackson and FC Dallas is that FCD must own enough or all of his rights to be able to loan him out like this. He had been in Dallas on loan from Sao Paulo. There had been some reports and whispers that the club had been quietly buying parts of his player rights since that loan took place. My money is that at some point the bought all of his rights from Sao Paulo.
Will Jackson be back in 2013? Time will tell. We do know that the right wing spot is still very thing to this day.

So no mention about a particular buy option at the end of the season?
Yeah umm right wing DP please lol this is getting nervy.
From 3rd Degree....
“According to sources familiar with the deal, Cruzeiro has an option to buy Jackson at the end of the loan period. "
right
Forgot about that. Well, this could work out for the club after all. Get a little cash for the guy.

Addition by subtraction
The guy had a bad attitude last year and didn’t want to be here. I’m glad Jackson’s gone and they can get some money back on the loan, and hopefully on a sale at the end of the season, too. Any time you get money for someone that doesn’t want to be around, it’s a win.
Sale = allocation money, which has a lot of value for either signings or trades.
Hopefully there’s another signing on the way to shore up the right wing. Plenty of time left in the transfer window.
Sort of agree
but the problem is you have no one to replace him!
I’d be 100% fine with this move if they hadn’t dumped Chavez. Right now the right wing is an abyss.

I'm sure they're working
but it could be in the league or outside the league.

we had all we needed in Chavez
DP, Schmee-pee. El Hijo del Viento was more than enough to cover that spot. Watch San Jose this year, they’re going to go playoffs(2010)-gutter(2011)-playoffs again in 2012.

Agree DTD
this is a cluster of all clusters if you ask me. SH didn’t want Jackson here for emotional intelligence reasons, and that’s fine….but DON’T FREAKING TRADE AWAY YOUR STARTING RIGHT WINGER IF YOU’RE LOOKING TO JETTISON YOUR BACKUP RIGHT WINGER!
I really hope Castillo has improved mightily this offseason or this team will struggle mightily. Not even sure we can blame Gorman for this one…SH fail.
^^
This
Castillo had an awesome moment in practice yesterday.

Yes.
Not to mention that the (formerly) starting right winger is exactly what SH wants in terms of emotional intelligence, attitude and just outright hustle.
A headscratcher
of a move for sure.

Did his new wife every make into the US?
If not then I can fully understand why his head wouldn’t be all here. Pro or not, a newlywed can’t go right into a long distance relationship and it be healthy.
The part about us owning enough to be able to loan him makes me wonder if that’s why Chavez is gone; to be able to afford the buyout?
So with him gone we’ve got 1 international spot back, and surely at least his pay, one would think there was something extra in the deal for us as well.

Would you really want him to stay if his head was not in the game? If he is homesick, he should be back at home for the time being.
I admit the Chavez situation is a bit of a sting, but with the allocation money FCD recieved they have been able to add depth to the defense and they got a striker.
