NYCFC Players Wanted Thread

Paying him, but not vs our cap. Just team's bottom line.
Because we bought him out - agreed to pay the contract but relinquished our rights to him. You can do it once a year in the off-season. The loan likely doesn’t cover the cost of the agreement.
Because we used our once a year exemption to void his contract vs the cap. But club (league)* is still responsible to pay it.
*It's an MLS contract. But money comes from CFG.
I think if Pirlo’s contract had been the 1.5 years the Club originally offered, everyone would have been fine with it.
That's the hardest part about negotiation salaries with veteran players. Figuring out when they may decline. Especially in a capped league. You can get away with it in baseball with enough money to throw at mistakes.

ATL got Villalba for like $2 million. That's so nuts.
Ezequiel Barco looks a hell of a player. Could have bought 3 of him for what we paid FFF.
He’s the wrong side of 30 but are his skills/ability still tops like Villa, or has his decline started? Because if he’s still holding steady with no visible decline, and if we loose Hererra, then JaviMas and Ring could combine as dual 6/8 players, no? I’m not throwing my support behind this, but it could be interesting on a 2 year deal (at most).
Mascherano would be an awesome signing. I just don't want to use a DP on a centreback.
Doesn’t he currently play CB? At Liverpool he was a DMid but I thought once he moved to Barça, or maybe only recently, he’s been a CB. I admit I don’t follow them closely so I don’t know his game to game positioning, and maybe he’s still playing as a midfielder, but I don’t know.
Even if he’s made the switch to CB, in MLS, he should be able to play MF no problem at all (or so I’m guessing).
No idea which is why I posed the question of if skills holding steady or declining. Hopefully it’s just a function of Barça having too many great midfielders and to get them all on the field they moved him back to CB where he could also use his skills to QB the passes out of the defense.
He's played CDM for Argentina as recently as last summer seems likely that it's just a Barca thing that he plays CB.
