UPDATE 7/9/16

-

FC Dallas officially announced the signing

. It is a loan deal from his previous club, J. Malucelli which plays in first division in the Brazilian state of Paraná.

As for the story mentioned below behind the cancellation of his contract with São Paulo: In 2012 Getterson tweeted his devotion to Corinthians and referred to São Paulo as "Bambi". Some research tells us the use of this word is specific to this club and is considered to be a slur either as effeminate and homophobic. Getterson admitted to the tweet and contract was cancelled before it was finalized. Details can be found here from Globo.com with screen captures of the actual tweets.

**original post**

According to multiple reports out of Brazil, including this one from MLS Inside at ESPN Brazil, FC Dallas has signed Brazilian striker Getterson.

Full name Getterson Alves dos Santos, he's a 25-year-old player (born: May 16, 1991) most recently with JMalucelli in Curtiba, Brazil.

The player has somewhat luckily, at least for him perhaps, fallen into FC Dallas' lap. Based on reports, Getterson had signed with São Paulo FC (see pic above). Upon his signing, it was discovered that five years earlier he had made some disparaging remarks about São Paulo fans. Unsurprisingly, when São Paulo fans learned of Getterson's comments, they were a bit upset, and the club was forced to tear up the contract the next day.

In swept FC Dallas, as Getterson has now reportedly agreed to a contract that will run through December. Here's one of his quotes, Google translated, from ESPN Brazil.

I do not know much. What I heard is that it is the conference leader and has a very good group. I think that will get me well. The league is very strong there, the US is growing a lot in football. I saw that it would be an opportunity very good new for me.

Not a lot is know about Getterson but we did find a couple videos of him on youtube for your education and enjoyment.

The first one is from 2012.
