[NYCFC_Dan]

Think a lot of us saw this coming with us having spent some $$ to acquire him.
Only 1 spot left?

He seems very promising from the little we have seen of him so far. Good motor, some decent long passes, clearly still a prospect but overall great upside bench depth.

I am happy they signed him.

What he needs now is solid coaching. He looks like he lacks the appropriate soccer IQ to hold down a CM position. But he has the physical qualities

 

[JJJSMAC]

Happy with the signing but hope he never takes another corner kick.

 

[BlueWarrior]

Will most likely go on a loan to San Antonio

True. Wish him the best

Important topic. What does he need more? Game time or instruction?

Both are equally important. Game time to unlearn everything wrong and relearn everything right.

Definitely needs a loan just to get his feet wet at the professional level. Same as Jalen Brown. Both players have shown promise, but (without getting too OT), their shortcomings are the classic examples of the failures within the American soccer skillset

 

[Shawn Ryu]

Will he get time in San Antonio?

Will he get time in San Antonio?

I'd think that if NYCFC's staff thought he was good enough for our roster, that he has a future here. If he has a future here, he's absolutely good enough for a brand new USL franchise.
