NYCFC Players Wanted Thread

I brought him up the last two years. Would be a great signing for us. He was used sparingly with Juventus this year and should be well rested and fit. When he did play he was effective.

I have been watching Copa America and he doesn't look like a guy whose career was derailed by injuries. Has great motor, plays his heart out, and would be a 100x upgrade for us. I don't know if he would take TAM money. He's been a career sub but at Juve, much like Giovinco.

would you take him DP over Medina?

That’s a loaded question. Most of us would take a pastrami sandwich over Medina.

mmm.... Pastrami....

Yes. I think he'd be worth a short DP contract. Can play CB or L/R back. Would be better than any option we have at those positions now. Could also play higher up as a wingback if formation/tactic calls for it. Has decent heading, some pace, good tackling, strong. Can't see how I could be convinced otherwise.

I would also take him as a DP, without a doubt. He's just plain good, classy, talented, undisputed in a world-class NT where Lodeiro is the weak link that's considered a notch below par and resisted by the fans. I would take pretty much anyone who starts regularly for Uruguay as a DP. In his case either short term or relatively low priced DP that can be bought down with TAM, mostly because of age and injury history.
 
4-1 here's coming to NYCFC.
Do you think
  1. we let Maxi's contract lapse [I think he's up this year?], and play with no midfield driver for a half season until Silva arrives
  2. we carry Medina until summer 2020 and then dump him to be replaced with Silva [which if we do this I might cancel my tickets immediately]
  3. Silva comes in not as a DP
  4. Maxi stays through 2020 and Silva starts in 2021 at age 35

1. Silva comes in the summer of 2020, he's a TAM player then a DP the following year.

2. Silva takes a break and then comes as a DP before the 2021 preseason.

Medina and Maxi are not relevant to Silva coming to NYCFC.
 
I would be really surprised. He would have to take a massive pay cut.

But let’s say it does happen. He’s not a starter for Man City in 2019. De Bruyne and Bernardo are your first choice.

He may start 20 matches only next season.

One other note - he’s 13 months older than Maxi.
