Yangel Herrera to NYCFC

So Wikipedia says he's coming to nyc on loan as a dp. Did I miss the announcement?

No, Wikipedia is just being Wikipedia. Some anonymous user came in leaping at the gun to be the first to edit despite it not being official.

I will say for the record that the Melbourne City fans also think he's going to them - though they reckon he's only going there until April when he will probably come to NYC anyway.

Okay, so he's here officially on loan for one year from Man City as a non-DP.

All MLS loans have a buy clause in them. Why can't we "buy" him from Man City and then just "sell" him back at a higher price to get us some sweet GAM?

Buy for $2M, sell for $5M. Net spend of $3M, getting us the maximum GAM from transfers.

I like it, but can you imagine the rage from other MLS teams?
