2017 Roster Discussion
- Thread starter NYCFCfan
- Start date
I think Mac is a little too cheap to let go of yet. He's still affordable by MLS standards, and is a guy who can start on the wing or provide some nice depth to the game day roster. I'm not sure he's a guy that is high on the list of most MLS teams, but I'd be shocked to think Mac would be let go by NYC easily, even if he isn't an everyday starter.
Well I guess that mean Degraffenreidt isn't good enough even for the USL affiliate team. Time to unfollow. Thank god.
There goes the first SuperDraft pick
Let's all hope we aren't shocked at the new contract they signed him to. We don't know what that damage is yet.
If so, that may once again be a stretch by our FO. Hernandez and Saunders were well above where they should have been, and both were effectively bench-quality players at best. TMac, for a litany of reasons, showed he cannot pull the strings in the midfield. We also now have better wing options than him. As somebody mentioned earlier today, he's really more a situational player to use when a team bunkers, but in MLS a lot of teams press and attack.
WHAT? That means he is getting more than 2x his previous amount. My guess is it'll be a modest 95-100k, which is 10-15k more than last season. I don't think he's worth much more than that at the moment.
A kinder and gentler welcome than theadam special.
Haha. I actually thought that was a pretty good 1st post. Knew the players, had an idea he wanted to share about strategy. He could be a good one. I just go after the trolls.
He's on the roster (http://www.nycfc.com/players) and the team's transaction tracker (http://www.nycfc.com/2017-transaction-tracker), but not the league's tracker (http://www.mlssoccer.com/transactions/2017).
Whoever writes a grad school paper trying to parse those differences, please give me a credit.
That's 23 on roster plus lewis, callens, and ring. Maybe Maxi and Herrera so lets call it 28. There are 20 senior roster spots. Harrison and Lewis will be on supplement roster as GA players with one supplement spot open. Sands takes one of the new homegrown roster spots if he signs. Awuah, Brown, Wingate and Gomez are eligible for the reserve spots (25-28) as they are u24.
So that rambling above may not seem coherent but it looks like its reasonable to not expect alot of cuts in the future.

None of our draft picks except for Lewis, who signed his GA deal before the draft, have actually signed contracts.
I was always in the cut Mix and use his cap space elsewhere camp.
But if he's actually training with us and we're not cutting him. Give him a chance to compete damn it! It has to do more damage than good to see a guy training with you everyday in the background, but not really allowed to be with the team. I'm not sure how that doesn't affect the team's moral. They going to deny him water breaks too till he passes out? This some type of prison movie where the inmates have work together to overcome an abusive warden?

shit he has to be a better cb/rb than white
DeGraff picked up an injury....Louima didn't show in training. At least that is the report from my pod partner BlueCityRadio
I suspect this is right. Given the lack of player mobility in MLS, I'm not sure why they would have to give him anything more than a modest raise and a few extra years on the contract unless he thinks he can get a lot more money if he had moved overseas when his original contract was up. All hail the non-free market.
You think he's cheap now, wait 'til our FO get done with him.
