NYCFC Players Wanted Thread

In a heart beat. Why are you 50/50? If he was on this team instead of Pirlo we'd have the most dangerous attack (if we don't already, it would be potentially best attack in MLS EVER) in the league with some really good depth too because that'd likely move Wallace to the bench. He is one of the few over 33 players I would still take in a heart beat.
I mean, just think of that attack. Villa flanked by Harrison and Ribery with a midfield of Herrera, Ring, and Moralez.
We damn sure couldn't drop Wallace for a player like Ribery. Lose way too much work rate and defensive pressure.
Would definitely have to play 3 atb.
Wes Sneijder is about to join LAFC.
Not thrilled we didn't go back in for him.

If they also add Guardado which is looking likely, their core midfield is gonna be insane. Wonder if they still go after Chicharito
Sneijder, Guardado and Ibra
I think Chicharito ends up in LAG NEXT summer after the World Cup
Lots of names will move after the World Cup next summer

this. i much prefer that we took maxi when we did. While he may not be as good as WS were most likely gonna get a lot more longevity out of him rather than maybe a 1-2 year thing. i.e. Andrea Pirlo
He's been brought up here more than a few times, but it looks like Samir Nasri may be getting a doping ban that'll cost him 2 years -- possibly up to 4.
Too many trips to the Drip Doctors.
We don't follow FIFA Calendar so let's not follow this FIFA rule
Well we don't follow the ICC either, so screw international laws and rulings.
We can lol at old midfielders all we want but lafc is trying to break into a market against one of the most successful franchises in MLS history. Getting names is going to be important for them to create a fan base in the beginning.
Short answer, yes.
Long answer, here are the relevant roster rules.
In the event a player suffers a season-ending injury, a club may place that injured player on the Season-ending Injury List and receive roster relief (i.e., an open roster spot). Once placed on the Season-ending Injury List, the injured player will not be eligible to play for the club in any remaining competition during that MLS season...
And then.
The club will remain responsible for the injured player's full Salary Budget Charge. Clubs may execute a trade to create budget space in order to sign a Season-ending Injury Replacement Player. This is the only circumstance in which a club may trade for Salary Budget space.
MLS clubs are only able to receive budget relief (paid out of the club's own pocket) for a season-ending injury under the following parameters:
- The injured player must be earning at least $100,000 per annum.
- The injured player must have suffered the season ending injury prior to the close the Primary Transfer Window and the new player must be signed as of such date.
- The Season-ending Injury Replacement Player may earn up to $250,000 but not more than the player who suffered the season-ending injury.
- The club is ultimately responsible for the payment of the replacement player's salary (which will not be charged to the club's budget).
- MLS clubs will only be allowed to sign one such Season-ending Injury Replacement Player a year.
The first Transfer window is the Primary window, so that pretty much tanks that....
Do we know how close to the cap we are? Perhaps its possible that we're not even close enough to the cap for this to be a problem. If I recall from preseason, we're not at the full allotment of players, so maybe there's still money left over in case Claudio decided we needed some reinforcements this summer.
Nobody really knows unless they've been keeping a running tally since year one of how the team has used thei GAM/TAM.
One reason I suspect we don't use every roster spot is to spread that extra roster salary amongst one or more players (i.e. To get a more valuable player).
