Is that the same guy who was at Sunderland? If so, I don't like him too much.
2017 Summer Signings
- Thread starter forfalskning
- Start date
Though I am expecting a 3rd or 4th round SuperDraft pick quality player. Or maybe someone else from the Academy? Or maybe a Man City outcast?
Sorry folks, i̶t̶ ̶w̶a̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶b̶i̶t̶ it is extremely complicated.

Huh, seems a little weird. Kind of expensive for winger depth, hints at losing Harrison or moving him more regularly to CAM (or playing both in a flat 3-4-3).
Also, I don't understand how some type of option would get around the transfer restrictions. In your article, do you mean that the plan a free loan with something like a $500k transfer fee option at the end of the year, but because the window closed, that's no longer feasible?
Which means the only way we get him is if his current club releases him.
Transfermarkt is also claiming he's suspended by FIFA right now. Any idea why? I can't find anything.

Yeah, I'm not sure what his agent meant by that either. I'm still waiting on clarification (which I don't think will come).
My best guess is that it would have been a free loan with a fee at the end like you suggested. But now that's no longer an option so for us to get him we'd either have to work out a handshake deal where they'd release him in order for us to sign him and they'd be compensated somehow or they just want to be rid of his salary and the headache he's been recently and release him anyways.
If they aren't playing him, this might be plausible.
Thanks for the legwork on this, but this one just seems pretty weird. He doesn't show up on the score sheet very often, with 6 goals and 7 assists over the past 5 seasons.
I hope this forward can play CB.
Before everyone starts judging this signing maybe we can wait for him to play a game?

My Czech is rusty but pretty sure it says Hull also pursued him.
It's not the player we need, but if he makes our attack better I won't be mad. Just gives us more depth and better subs.

How bad is Steve Bruce that NYCFC can beat him to a player
EDIT: Steve Bruce was like three managers ago. Point stands. He still blows at Aston Villa.
