Could be interesting what the end game here is with this hiring though. Seeing as if Ronny were to leave or get sacked Cushing would be staying because he’s not essentially part of the team RD brought with him like PV and Dome.
He’s the Company insider charged with watching RD to make sure he adheres to the policies of the motherland, err, CFG......
 
Maybe pirlo and lampard, but I don't think Villa signed purely for money reasons. I think he wanted to be part of a new team, and he had ambitions elsewhere too (a la QBFC and his academy stuff.)
That alone attributes to him finding NYC an attractive destination - I can see others too thinking that in the future.
I sometimes think I’m the only person here who remembers how crap and generally unmotivated Villa seemed in the inaugural season. Never tracked back and was low energy.
Not sure why or how, but the switch flipped in season 2 (maybe Vieira) and he ascended to godhood.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. I also think if RD screws up and gets sacked, Cushing could be taking over. It’s almost like they’re grooming him for an NYCFC takeover just in case. Plus he’s the company man like you said. He’s gonna follow the CFG philosophy.

Just like the “Politikal Officer” that happened to be KGB.....

You’re not wrong. But how motivated could the guy be taking tactics from Kreis and having grabavoy passing him the ball. That scene of Kreis before the Orlando match telling the team to be a dick put a look on Villa face of “what the Fck did I agree to?”
 
I always thought it had to do with him having to play as a target man and us booting 60 yarders to a 5’8” Striker.

Guess we have our "plan b"

The highest draw in MLS coaching-wise of late was probably Tata. Celtic is definitely a huge club with a big following...but the appeal is the club not the manager. I think if a player is good with playing in NYC and they are deciding between 2 clubs, they may pick us for the European ties, but nobody is coming here because they want to play for him. I would have preferred someone else, but if you ask me who...i don't know. Plus I don't know how this is going to play out, so let's hope for the best and for good looking football to be played.
 
I challenge you to produce evidence that this ever actually happened. And I expect we will see an actual Sasquatch, a Yeti, and a fully constructed stadium before you can do so.
Impossible. Ned only passed backwards.
There were times when Villa was so pissed at his service he dropped to the top of the box to pick up the ball. That’s all I got.
 
i miss villa's dribbling ability. we don't really have anyone who can beat a defender 1v1 anymore .. except for maybe isi and heber to a certain extent. but neither are able to consistently beat their defender like villa used to when in the box.
 

I am kind of confused by this coaching staff they're putting together. It's starting to seem slapdash, like they're frantically appointing coaches because of how late the coach was hired, but why isn't Deila bringing along people he wants? Why is this coaching staff being chosen for him? I hope they all work well together because this is a strange coaching staff they're putting together.
