2017 SuperDraft - NYCFC Thread

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

His intl status only comes into play once the seasons starts, so I don;t think they are shopping too hard for the intl slot right now.

A buddy just emailed me regarding DeGraffenriedt:



He's a respected poster on Big Soccer and was one of the earliest (maybe first) to compile the list of Americans playing abroad, so he's not green with analysis.

Where did you read American? We don't know if has a passport, yet alone a green card.

He has a US passport.

This is the only picture that I've found of NYCFC at the combine

did he give you tips on how to pronounce his last name

DeeGee

 

[Ulrich]

?

Yeah,

 

[Falastur]

Is it bad I want to see DeGraffenreidt succeed just so I can see the disdain in MLS/ NYCFC in having to print that on a shit ton of home and away kits??

 

[Kjbert]

Another one???

Terrific show.

 

[adam]

Terrific show.

Wish they made that 3rd season

I trust my buddy way more than Doyle re DeGraffenletters. Doyle is giving a stock answer based on where the guy was drafted, not based on anything he's seen.

 

[Kjbert]

I would be happy if three of our draftees make the team. Knowing that the team isn't going to carry dead weight (not named Mix), that means we have 3 quality additions on the cheap this year.

 

[NYCFC_Dan]

Because we love highlight videos...

Wingate:

DeGraffenreidt:

Chris played some Pirloesque balls. Got a knack for goal as well. Looks like a solid pickup.
Didn't watch the other highlight as it had buffering issues.

Doyle rarely knows anything worth value, but really liked for DeGraffenletters.

It's gonna depend on how Dutch you want to be, but I'd bet you're safe with "like it's spelled", Americanized as "Duh GRAFfen right".

If you're Dutch it's more like "Duh HHHGGGG<rolled R sound>AFfen <rolled R sound>eet.

How many times can you watch Little Steven make the same face?

If coupled with Norwegian slapstick, a whole bunch!

Soooo someone needs to teach our new guys social media etiquette. Especially for being a public figure now.
Someone retweeted a vid and without thinking or reading the title I watch it and assume it's not even real. Turns out it is very real and footage of the Mexico school shooting. So my first reaction is to look at who retweeted it and unfollow them and it was Mike Degraff... Tha fuck dude?

He's still unverified on Twitter. And looking through his account, it still looks like someone from high school.

It's definitely him. Lots of class mates and friends that went to the school congratulating him.
