2019 Roster Discussion

Not likely, from what I have gathered it appears to be a South American team, likely on the reserves to start.

NYCFC losing another academy product to another team...

I know this is a sore point for you.

BUT was this kid ever going to be more than a deep reserve for us? Honest question

if only there were a mechanism in place to allow the team to find out.... with almost no financial loss whatsoever.... but alas.

Haha, I am just kidding, with all the attacking talent we bring in you're most likely right. I am just an easily agitated fan



EDIT: THIS IS THE EXACT REASON WE NEED A USL TEAM TOO! in addition to the above statement

...What ever happened to that one academy defender we were "a month away from signing"?

Same thing that happened to those Spanish architects we hired

He was sacrificed to the soccer gods in exchange for Heber

You’re still right here. Talent leaving for free.

 

[Fantazma]

this one is tricky, would he have wanted to be in a USL team? i know USL doesnt always offer the best money. maybe he would get paid more in whatever team he is going to and would of left anyway?

I thought we determined that he was not eligible to sign a HGP contract.

Pledging to donate $0 seems a bit empty. Maybe if he ends up playing, he should donate per mistake or goal conceded, that would really help their bank balance.

 

[Ulrich]

All should remember that this is a player at the bottom of the roster’s payroll, so any donations he makes, or the rate at which he does it, is what he’s decided is proportionate, and absorbable, to his salary.

Take a step back before criticizing his efforts.

Let's also recognize that this is likely the only month which he sees the field. So this probably the only opportunity he has a chance to do something like this.

Good sentiments, and let's also recognize that he is asking for people to match his contributions, which could help donations add up to a substantial amount. Maybe we should take him up on that.

This came out of nowhere, nothing reported from NYCFC or USSF that he suffered a hip injury and required surgery.

Well... shit.

And the U-17 World Cup is in October, so if it's questionable that he will be ready by then, he is on the shelf for a while.

Tough break, especially for a kid still in high school. All the best to him.

Sean Johnson was added to the final Gold Cup roster.

As was Jonathan Lewis
