Welcome to the forum. I feel like this adds legitimacy to any NYC FC speculation. I know LA FC has been talked about but correct me if I'm wrong but I dont think he owns a house in LA.

lol he's not coming here

The earliest we could sign him is January 2017 when all our DP contracts run out. Pirlo and Lampard are definitely not re-signing. Villa will probably resign as he'll be 35, so maybe he gets one or two more years. So say we have two DP spots in 2017, NYCFC will probably want to use them right anyway unless they know that someone like Ronaldo is coming.

That leaves the question of who gets to wear number 7? Villa or Ronaldo?

Man, I thought Hollywood was star struck but they have nothing on new generation New Yorkers.

Absolutely!! If we start now, we might, just might, even beat the Pirlo thread in the amount of posts

There are a lot of athletes that own property in New York that don't play here. I don't see Tom Brady playing for the Jets/Giants but he has a place here, mainly because New York is fucking awesome and Gisele does a lot of work in the city for her career (she makes more money that he does).

The Red Bulls aren't going to dish out the big bucks. Miami, LAFC, and NYCFC are all the top options for him. If we have a stadium secured that when he arrives of when he's here that he'll be playing there, I think we're the top choice.

Could be an okay back up for Poku

David maraVilla is the legit owner of number 7. Ronaldo, thinks he is God gift to women. Please God let him not come to NYCFC. Send him to LA or whatever . Amen

So if he approached you willing to be your knight in shining armor, you wouldn't pay him any mind?

They would be closer to 40 than 30 if that every happens

Good point. Buying a place here will cause speculation, and I think does deserve some consideration. But I still think he'll end up in Miami when he decides to move to MLS.

I just get the feeling that the city of Miami is Cristiano Ronaldo.

Flight to Lisbon is much shorter from NYC than LA. Ronaldo is a big fan of NYC. We also have a lot of money.

Yeah, me too. From the climate to the culture, it just seems like Miami might suit him more than NY, but I would be delighted to be wrong. Love him or hate him, you cannot deny he is an amazing player and any club would be lucky to have him.

Isn't there speculation that Zlatan may move to MLS as soon as next year?

 

[dannd23]

I don't understand the ones saying that he is not coming here or to MLS. He and his agent repeatedly have stated that he will come to MLS someday. His contract ends June 30, 2018, and I doubt he will resign with Madrid at that point. The only other move I could see besides MLS at that point would be Sporting. He would be 33 years old in 2018. Villa came here at 32, no? Beckham at 32. Keane at 30. Gerrard at 34. Thierry Henry 33. So 32-34 seems to be the magic number for MLS.

My boss is from Portugal and he told me earlier in the year that Ronaldo loves NYC.

Cristiano's favorite place in the world, outside of Irina's underpants, is the Gansevoort in NYC.
