NYCFC Players Wanted Thread

[SoupInNYC]

Let's be honest, any apprehension about Pirlo was completely lost when the smoke started turning into fire. We would all be thrilled with Iniesta. Even those that would deny that now would rationalize it when it happens.

Recap of big names discussed and potentially available: Khedira, Santi, Iniesta, Torres, Honda.

Honda is not available.

[NYdoesitEZ]

Can we have Acura in place of Honda?

 

[Victors87]

Christian Pulisic

After winning Champions League with Dortmund, and the Premier League with Liverpool.

Have him as super american DP

 

[Kjbert]

Khedira
Cazorla
Iniesta
Torres

? In that order?

is Philip Lahm a possibility?

 

[Ulrich]

is Philip Lahm a possibility?

I don't think an outside back is out of the question, but the question left wanting is whether he wants to be in NYC?

 

[Kjbert]

I thought he was completely retiring

 

[Midas Mulligan]

I thought he was completely retiring

Yeah. I think that's the case. And also, he'd be an awful fit in MLS.

 

[Kjbert]

They'd move him to CDM

 

[Midas Mulligan]

They'd move him to CDM

Yeah. I understand that. I just don't day dream about adding more ill-suited pieces that require roster origami.

 

[Kjbert]

I was being sarcastic i.e. Iraola

Actually Germany and Bayern sometimes played him as a 6 didn't they? Forgot about that. Only know that because Roberto Martinez took Leighton Baines to a Bayern match once to watch how Lahm transitioned from FB to 6

 

[Kjbert]

After today, I want another Central Midfielder to replace Pirlo. Get his ass on the bench. Acosta made him look like Swiss cheese in the second half.

He's a small pitch player against teams without an athletic midfield. He's shot

 

[BxLio91]

Why isn't Herrera playing?

I'll rather have TMac, Ring, and Maxi (Preferably not Maxi, I think he's a waste of a DP) in the mid.

In general as a team with two DP's in our midfield, we don't control the ball or dominate the mid like we should.

 

[Kjbert]

We have one DP who has the ability to break a game open in Villa.

Our other DPs have disappeared in multiple games already this season. That's a BIG problem

Maxi hasn't done anything to deserve any ire. He's worth his salary. Is he worth his budget charge and foregoing what else could be? I'm abstaining from answering that until after I see what we do this summer.

I agree he's worth his salary. But is he worth the budget charge/DP? So far I say no. Diego Valeri is having an MVP like season right now in Portland. My threshold was whether or not he proved to be better than Valeri or Piatti or Klejstan. None of them are DPs

All three are DPs. None of them cost over 1 million, but they are all considered DPs

Analysis: true
ETA: still fair to point out that so far Moralez doesn't seem their equal, much less better, which was the original point.
