2017 Roster Discussion

Did we ever linked to Yangel Herrera? We need a real CDM (not Ring), I dont mind with age.
Not NYCFC directly. The offer that's been verified by the club's president has come from CFG. Generally CFG handles player moves for NYCFC & Melbourne, not Man City.

So the belief would be that he would be shipped out to one of those two, or loaned out somewhere for Man City.

Uhh, I expect CFG could make this transfer.

But it states he would be a loan. We will end up developing him for a year or two then have Man City reap the rewards

We're not a top club in the world, nor a top league. You can't expect good young players to want to make a career here. At least not in the next 20 years as the MLS develops some more. Let's be happy if we can poach them when they're young and get some productivity out of them when they have their most energy and are at their fastest. Take what we can get.

Probably a loan with an option to buy.... and coming from MCFC not a very big transfer price.

Crooks retweeted your tweet about this. I wonder if his piggybacking suggests that he has inside information about the likelihood. How frequently does he retweet you on items like this? Just looking for some Crooks retweeting tells here.

#CrookCrooks will retweet anything to make himself look good. #CrookCrooks
 
MLS 2017 Roster Rules have not been announced. The current policy is 160 spots dividend among the 20 teams. This will obviously be expanded to to accommodate MNUTD and ATLUTD. However, is there any thought that each team will be given an additional international roster spot or two from the 8 that are allotted as of last year?

If not, we'll need to do some trading for spots. Currently, the teams with the least amount of used spots based on January 24, 2017 http://www.mlssoccer.com/rosters/2017

Toronto - 2
New England - 3
DC - 4
RSL, Portland - 5
SJ, LAG, Dallas, Seattle - 6
