NYCFC Players Wanted Thread

[SoupInNYC]

Because he'd require an international roster spot. While we have the room for him, for other teams it would be a waste spending an international roster spot on an unknown, untested talent...

Let alone a DP spot, oh wait, Medina.

Why would he cost a DP spot

He wouldn't. I'm just complaining about Medina.

Turkish CM Tarkan Serbest in NYC. His contract is expiring this summer. Someone on Reddit said he visited the training facilities.

Definitely a position of need for a little depth behind Ring and Ofori.

Former teammate of Isi's. Wonder if they're close or if there's mutual interest

 

[Gotham Gator]

Left footed or right footed?

If we sign a midfielder, my guess would be the former.

Footballer hearts NY in the offseason, more at 11

Except if you read the article, he's in meetings, so it's not simply that he was spotted at Artichoke

League office is here so could be a contract for any team... or us at our HQ...

We’re not signing Sturridge.

Also not signing Chicharito.

Yeah, understood. But I think we’ve been through this before with other players. Meetings in NYC could be anything. Sponsors, agents, even another MLS team. Absent specific links to NYCFC I don’t know we can make anything of it.

FALCAO!

(Or Khedira, I really want a German on the team).

More Medina’s and Mitritas. They’re going to commit the money to medium sized transfer fees and not the salary.

Hmm, not sure how I feel about that. On one hand, if we are willing to pay transfer fees, we open up a much broader pool of players to acquire. On the other hand, their ceilings will be lower if their wages are.

It also makes it much harder to speculate on our targets. Hard to know much about even the better players in Europe outside of the top 5 leagues. Like, could we Target this random guy? https://www.transfermarkt.com/irfan-can-kahveci/profil/spieler/216603

Counterpoint - Pirlo stunk and he cost the same as Mitrita will over 4 years.

Double counterpoint, will either be worth it?

Too early to tell on Mitrita. But he’s your Villa replacement. If Medina goes, he’ll be replaced by another similarly priced (possibly lower) player.

Mitri will get there, I think. But Heber’s there already, and reflects the same strategy.

 

[Kjbert]

Heber a homerun. Already one of their biggest requests for fan interactions.
