NYCFC Players Wanted Thread

I'm gonna guess nobody has a clue, but how much tam do we have, and why the hell haven't we used it yet?
Nobody outside of MLS HQ and the front office know. It's not a number that's ever public.
The player's inability to force CFG to deliver the $2 million he was promised.
You have to have a mechanism to enforce people's promises in an agreement. That can either be legal enforcement via contract law or hiring a gang of thugs to represent your interests.
Yeah, nothing could be written down because it'd then be fodder for extortion..... pay me $10M or MLS & FIFA will find out you cut this deal behind their backs....
Word is Charlie Horton a US 21yr old Goalkeeper that was with Leeds and left due to family issues will make an announcement today on his future. This would be a great sign for us. Have him as Saunders backup and loan out Johanson and at that point we will be under the limit of international spots.
Would he be on the allocation list since he's a US youth player, or only the Senior players get forced on to it?
D.C. United has signed U.S. under-23 national team goalkeeper Charlie Horton, who had left Leeds United in England last fall for family reasons.
Sucks.
We have 3 spots still? I don't think any of the trialists really showed anything special. Ivanov was meh, and we don't have the Int slot for him anyways. I'd just raid the USL/NASL for a young, teachable, cheap striker. We need more depth up there. If we're going 4-3-3 with Saturday's lineup, Mullins is the only striker sub. Any one of them gets a knock and it could force us to change formation mid season, which could be devastating.
Honestly, I don't think he is much better, plus the fact that he's slow as shit and continues to get burned and caught out of position when he does play, as a backup behind Otamendi and Kompany right now.
I'm surprised tmac and poku aren't being tried on the wings. I think pokus skills would pay the bills on the wing for us
I'd love to see Poku on the wing. Shelton/Taylor feels better as an either/or rather than both of them. Then, have a more technical winger on the other side.
I'm less excited about TMac there. Its struck me in several of the preseason games (more OKC and Montreal than the last one) that he is much better as a CM than on the wing like he was last year. I like him as a depth play in the CM though, with Lampard's health, it seems depth play is now translating into starter.
Wings have to run and sprint a lot. Poku seems more like a trotter with a couple of bursts per game. I don't think he'd make it 60 minutes as a traditional winger. And I don't think Vieira wants to reinvent the position for him when he should be learning how to properly handle his long term position at CM.

Junior Hoilett will be available on a free this summer. Would be an excellent pickup for an MLS squad, and we need depth at wing. Hoilett, Shelton, Harrison, and Taylor would be a very nice foursome.

Haven't seen him much since he was an up and comer in the EPL a few years back, but the pace on the wing sure would be nice.
I don't like Shelton's play in preseason, don;t like TMac at CM, but did like him at wing last year. And I want Poku somewhere in the game. I think Taylor might be better at RW too.
A font three of: Tmac, Villa and Taylor ------ or Tmac Villa Poku----- seems to give some cool possibilities to morph between 433 and 451
Sucks we have no international spots left. Would love to sign ignacio maganto. Great depth signing and more ready to contribute then gall.
