NYCFC in the Media Thread - 2017

Not sure what you would expect here. A pretty straightforward article. Interesting to read about the work permit rules -- especially that he needs 918 minutes and that Coach V plans to give it to him. We should expect to see him get some spot starts if that is the case.

By comparison, Mikey Lopez started 6 games and made 15 appearances in 2016, but only logged 672 minutes.
He may get the minutes, but the 75% MNT appearance will be difficult. Has he gotten any since his transfer - or just called in?

just meant the wording of his tweet
I'm with you. That's a dick way of presenting the news, and it's done in such a way as to both demean NYCFC and drive troll traffic to comment section.

Araos is not worth reading.

I actually read the assertions of that article and come only to the conclusion that I feel bad for Herrera. He was sold a story that I think the club only follows under an absolutely perfect scenario and outstanding performances by the player himself.

He'll be at NYC next year.
 
I have trouble believing that the Herrera signing was meant long term for NYCFC. He's a dart that man city is hoping will stick to the wall. Sounds like he views this as a stepping stone to Europe. If he is not in the picture for Man City eventually he going to stop accepting loans and get sold somewhere else to recoup at least part of that 2 million.
 

There is also an interesting tidbit on the English FA and Herrera.
I'm not going to read Araos' stuff, but I am curious as to what he means by "stick with the 3-4-3". It didn't seem to me like we were playing a 3-4-3 last match, but moreso only had two up top. Harrison also was more of a wingback than a midfielder.

But maybe those items I pointed out were players not familiar with what they were being asked to do, and it should have taken a shape more like a 3-4-3.
