Rather have Howard then Hart. But don't want a GK DP either way. And especially now the was Saunders is playing.
Hey, Saunders is playing above his level and stopping shots. But don't get it twisted. He's not a good keeper. His distribution and kicking is laughably bad. Awful footwork. Even worse positioning.
He makes every ball into the box an adventure.
He has been good stopping shots. He's a bad keeper. These are not contradictory thoughts.
That said, I agree with your post. I just don't want people to think Saunders is an acceptable level of keeper. He is not. There is a reason we had to loan him to NaUpdsmwbncaapl last year.

I agree, but he's how do they say in baseball "above replacement level" for MLS. I'd rather be using our DP spot on a midfielder, or backline if you twist my arm. GK can be filled a plethora of other ways.
I would still much rather improve our team elsewhere, but he's a really good player, and he's 29 which is younger than 99% of the players linked to us.
That's the big thing about it. 29 is prime for most players. A guy a year or two removed from playing regularly at Chelsea, and still has remarkable ball skills. Sign him up.
He could be the son of some of the players linked to us.
I really like Kalou as a player and I think he'd succeed in MLS, I just still would rather improve defensively.
Apparently he has family that lives in NYC, and @MLSTransfers is a pretty reliable source.
He moved for about $2 million last summer, and didn't have a great year, even though he still has 2 years left on his contract, I could see this deal potentially happening.
If Kalou shows the same work ethic that he did at Chelsea here, he could be a star in the league.
You sure about that? I actually think it's mostly rumor-mongering.
Gotze would be amazing but he meant Gomez, I cant think of many players we would have less of a shot at getting than Gotze. Here's one of the articles talking about Gomez.

Would sign Gomez just for the sake of playing this every time he scores: http://www.tomnash.eu/gomez-button.html
From the article "NYCFC have made it clear that they are looking to add a striker to their ranks in order to improve their goalscoring ratio."
They have?
Outside of Taylor Twellman, that account is really one of the only sources I trust regarding MLS news. From what I've seen, they've been pretty accurate.
