2017 Roster Discussion
- Thread starter NYCFCfan
- Start date
A few stick out to me, but I'm not certain on what some of the salary considerations would be. I would def take a run at Peterson at his salary asanyone worth getting from free agency ?
Ulrich pointed out. I'd also consider Le Toux and Alan Gordon. I know we've already signed a striker but I would love a true target man option off the bench if we need to change things up. I love the signing of Okoli and it sounds like he provides some decent size, but wouldn't quite be that true target center forward.
If we can get Gordon relatively cheap, I'd pull the trigger
I'd think I'd start Sean Franklin over RJ, depends on his salary tho.
No, because we're waiting for Sami Khedira
Why wait - flash the cash and make it worth it for him to jump early.
I would be shocked. Something would happen to materialize out of thin air in the next two weeks.
And as I said on twitter: nope, big names move in the summer
Why? don't we have all of the January window too?
Anyone getting annoyed seeing us being idle while Atlanta make all these solid signings? Surely Patrick Vieira/CFG has more clout than Tata Martino
Have to assume ATL have had much more time and planning to line these up having had no other responsibilities for the last year. Look at all the other existing clubs. No one else has made the volume of moves of ATL.

Im just thinking that if we need to keep mix until the summer window would it be possible for him to get our 3rd DP spot? It would at least save some of our allocation dollars.
We need some depth signings, but right now the only really big hole is at CDM. We are not desparate.
Until the summer window, we can get away with a lineup like:
LW:Harrison/TMac
ST:Villa
RW: Shelton/Harrison
LCM: Pirlo/TMac
CDM:???
RCM: Pirlo/Harrison
LB: Mata
CBs: Chanot, Brillant
RB: Allen
GK: Hunger Games Winner
Anyone think they are targeting the DP signing to be a defensive midfielder, and that's why they were comfortable canceling Bravo's loan?
We had a rumored $1 million buy option. Would you have exercised that? I wasn't overly impressed with Bravo. He was a slightly bigger and more disciplined Mike Lopez.
In between 2015 and 2016, did the club ever announce that it used its one guaranteed contract buyout that does not impact the salary cap? I know when they announced the wholesale set of moves like they did 2 weeks ago this year, nothing was said about any buyout. I also remember thinking maybe we used it on someone and did not announce it as a courtesy, allowing it to appear as if his contract just expired.
My point is I think it's possible we used up the freebie this year already and we just don't know it. If so, I think these are the candidates: "Connor Brandt, Jason Hernandez, Diego Martinez and Tony Taylor will not have their contract options exercised. . . ."

Maybe we used it on Hernandez would be my guess. I don't think we know if his K was guaranteed and how long it ran.

From what I remember a lot of our signings that we're club members on day 1 were signed to two year contracts. I specifically don't remember anyone signing to a 3 year contract that wasn't Mix.
I remember thinking, at the time, that wow the club could really shift its roster around for year three if it wanted to.
I know 75% of this forum are attorneys. But not everyone get's your lawyerly shorthand
K=contract for the confused.
