I'm more partial to Harry Styles.
I expect that to be a stock answer for every player on the team. PV is going to initially want an atmosphere of competition to figure out who can play each position/role. While there are a bunch of guys that aren't expendable, the staff probably doesn't want them to feel comfortable, especially not before the lineup gets established.
Because we fired Kreis.
Your logic is flawed. Being a GA, his lack of Cap Hit over 2+ years is likely nullifying the the amount of allocation $$ we gave up.
You beat me to the punch I was going to say the same thing. This kids a GA he doesn't account for the cap plus by all indications he's a stud. I love this trade. Also, he plays winger a position we desperately need.
My guess is that had Vincent not been available, they wouldn't have made the deal. However, according to Jeff Carlisle, from ESPN, the deal was done before Garber announced Harrison:
Not quite - Vincent is *not* a GA player. He played four years at Stanford and was a senior. We'd have taken a Cap Hit with him.
Just remember, in order for TAM to be used on him, it would have to be a new signing, or in Jack's case, a resigning.
Are we certain that we gave up GAM? Or did we give up TAM? I'm not quite certain if I've seen that detail given or maybe I just missed it.
If Jack wants to stay with NYCFC long term, it doesn't matter what type of allocation money is used - we'll find a way to keep him. Hell, by his next contract, LA will have convinced MLS to grant up to 7 DPs per team so we'll be fine bumping up Big Apple Jack's salary.
