2017 Roster Discussion

You're right. We're fucked but not fucked enough to get the benefit of being fucked. Fuck.
So who we sacrificing for an emergency call up that wont count against the cap?
If the rule is we can call someone up with equal salary to the absent players, let's give Pirlo a vacation. Call in three $2M guys.
Do we know that Sands is available?
They will add to the squad this week

His national team stint is done. He signed. He's apparently healthy.

Camargo - our for season
Matarrita - toward end of season
Chanot - toward end of season
Lopez - early October
White - early October
Villa - maybe back Saturday
Ring - maybe back Saturday

Can't recall if we've discussed this, but if he's really out for the season, we *should* get a roster slot and international slot back. Salary cap space is a bit trickier.
Season-ending Injury List
In the event a player suffers a season-ending injury, a club may place that injured player on the Season-ending Injury List and receive roster relief (i.e., an open roster spot). Once placed on the Season-ending Injury List, the injured player will not be eligible to play for the club in any remaining competition during that MLS season (including any exhibition games or tournaments, CONCACAF Champions League, AMWAY Canadian Championship and U.S. Open Cup game). In the event that a player placed on the Season-ending Injury List recovers prior to the end of the MLS season, that player may only play in games for the club's USL affiliate.
Clubs that have, or can create, extra budget space may fill the open roster slot with a replacement player, a "Season-ending Injury Replacement Player".
In the event the injured player occupies an International slot, the Season-ending Injury Replacement Player may also be an International Player and occupy such slot.
Budget Charge for Season-ending Injuries
The club will remain responsible for the injured player's full Salary Budget Charge. Clubs may execute a trade to create budget space in order to sign a Season-ending Injury Replacement Player. This is the only circumstance in which a club may trade for Salary Budget space.
MLS clubs are only able to receive budget relief (paid out of the club's own pocket) for a season-ending injury under the following parameters:
- The injured player must be earning at least $100,000 per annum.
- The injured player must have suffered the season ending injury prior to the close the Primary Transfer Window and the new player must be signed as of such date.
- The Season-ending Injury Replacement Player may earn up to $250,000 but not more than the player who suffered the season-ending injury.
- The club is ultimately responsible for the payment of the replacement player's salary (which will not be charged to the club's budget).
- MLS clubs will only be allowed to sign one such Season-ending Injury Replacement Player a year.

It shows that Camargo is on SEIL and does not count use an international slot. Mena is another international who does not need a slot being on loan. Oh, and look at this: Andrez Struna with Number 16 and taking an international slot.
But Struna is not on this page: https://www.nycfc.com/players
ETA: Struna was officially announced just a few minutes after this post was made:

RJ's contract goes through 2018. Andraz is signed through the end of the season with options for 2018 and 2019. Claudio and PV must have liked what they saw in him
Has anyone actually followed this guy? I don't really follow any of the leagues hes played in Poland, Greece, Slovenia, and Scotland. His younger brother was supposed to be better than him and he sucked at Palermo. Hoping he can do something good for us here in New York but im not very hyped.
No. I did watch Hearts some last year (you know, when the Scottish Premiership had a TV partner in Fox). I can't remember him.
Not necessarily a bad thing for a defender.
I can't remember Zusi last night and if he even played since their left wing seemed to surge down that side at will
