Actually, MLSTransfers reported on Twitter that we have $200k in allocation funds available right now. I assume that would be on top of whatever cap space we have. For what that's worth.

I believe we're already lining up prospects for an outside back.
The way Vieira and Reyna have been talking I wasn't expecting anything
They were saying the same thing last year before they brought in Chanot and sold Poku and Mullins. If the opportunities appear they'll make the move.
This changes things

I could be reading too much into this, but I don't think he'd say that without there being at least something in the works. Start digging, NYCFC reporters. Something's cooking.
I mean, is a club ever closed from signing players unless there's a transfer ban?
Yeah, if they previously said the roster was set and that they wouldn't be adding any players.
That's like saying you aren't going to have any more kids but the man didn't get a vasectomy.
D - you've watched too much soccer in your life to put stock in that.
Only man I've ever seen keep his word on that is Klopp. And that's pretty much only because he didn't want to overpay like some suckerass punks at PSG for Draxler and BVB wouldn't sell him Pulisic for less than 25.
I believed it because I didn't think we had enough financial flexibility to make any moves. Remember we had to buyout Mix to cover all the signings we made before the season.

Hopefully Mata and Wallace put in a good word for us.
ETA: Whoa transfer market has him listed at $5M, I take it back if we are going after anyone over 31 years old for a DP spot they better be closer to world class.

Which is pure speculation BS from MLS.soccer.
I think if we sign anyone in the next month it's a Ring/Chanot player. We won't know who they are but our scouts will have put in the work to ensure they are a high caliber MLS player on a non dp wage. I think we learned from our early mistakes what works and doesn't work in the league.

There are plenty of great Argentinian players that would happily take a pay cut if it meant they were actually receiving their pay checks and on time. Hopefully they are scouting there.
Theory:
Could NYCFC be waiting until the end of the window to sign players because new money rules will take place. Didn't MLS announce TAM midseason two years ago and also raise the level last year during the summer - coinciding with their Board of Governors meeting?
Every team had to know if money rules were being voted on, so the reason I can think of that other teams have already pulled the trigger, without waiting, is that they had ground to make up and needed help immediately. Maybe NYCFC feels they can wait longer to add a bigger piece or two rather than immediate smaller pieces while running out of roster space??? The FO has said they're active in the market, so could they be negotiating with the intent to get all the ducks lined up for the CAP raise announcement and then pull the trigger?
The theory all goes to hell if MLS doesn't announce a CAP expansion in the next few days....
