2024 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread

Yeah I don't particularly think the insta bio edit means the deal is in peril, but I also can't think of a good reason to delete it. What are they trying to keep it a surprise? Lol. And there's no visa, employment or other legal requirement - referencing a sports team is not some sort of legally binding statement. Hence, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

It's probably the team not wanting to "spoil" the news even though we all know it. He was doing instagram stories on the flight, then magically stopped when he arrived in NY.

I'm surprised we didn't get a Mijatović announcement today, NYCFC loves a good late Friday afternoon news drop.

I posted the Friday afternoon news drop on the player specific thread. Gabe Segal traded for a 3rd Round SuperDraft pick to Houston.

NVM. I just realized those posts are by an Austin fan/podcast/something account

They played 120 minutes. It was 3-2 after 90, and they each scored an extra goal in extra time that was predetermined. The rules are made up and the points don’t matter.

ah missed the description in the austin post.
 
Hilarious. So are we to assume it's not announced because they're still working on his welcome videos? Or do they just arbitrarily decide when to announce these things?
Did any other MLS teams announce a signing on Thursday of Friday last week? I wonder if there was a moratorium to focus on the new kit buzz. Yes that sounds stupid, but MLS.
The Segal trade doesn't count. I'm talking incoming transfers not intraleague trades.

That definitely would not surprise me. I'm sure they have somewhat of a rollout schedule which would indicate not announcing a new player signing the same day as the jersey release.

Signed as a U-22 Initiative player is interesting. Did they expand that program this year? Believe that gives us four U-22 guys. Ojeda, Mijatovic, Fernandez, and Bakrar. The limit is 3.
