2017 SuperDraft - NYCFC Thread
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
Dunno if this has been said anywhere already, but looks like Kwame could be great LB depth. Says here that he played LB and CM in college, and we know that Vieira / City teams have a penchant for playing inverted full backs:
I love seeing us tear shit up in the draft two years in a row. Hats off, FO.

Not sure if he has a left foot, but (from the MLS article):
“I definitely think that I'm going to be able to fit into their system very quickly. I watch Jack Harrison a lot, he's one of my idols in MLS, so I think [I can be] a right-footed Jack Harrison, hopefully … I'm just glad I'm going to get to learn from great attackers like Jack Harrison and David Villa, Andrea Pirlo. I'm going to learn a lot.”

I bet he nets more assists and goals than Pirlo this season. Hopefully (having also played LB) he can defend well. At CDM he could be like a Mikey Lopez that knows how to play soccer.
Which direction is he going? Oh right. There's only One Direction.
Three players. Lewis is a member of NYCFC has he signed a Generation Adidas contract. Awuah and Brown, we just have the rights to.
Lewis is a winger. Awuah is a left side of the field player from LB to winger. Brown is a midfielder.
I'd say cautiously optimistic. We seem loaded up front which may cause a name up there to be trade bait.
But we still need defensive help.
We gave up a lot of GAM today (325K) and we gave up more for Johnson, but we're getting younger.

Send pics of your closet please so we know what to avoid.
No defenders and no Aubemayang and full of poor giveaways?
And then the Galaxy starts buying all of our players.
We did give up a lot of GAM, but correct me if I"m wrong, don't teams have $1.6 million of TAM now? I feel like the team is using GAM for trades/international slots, while bolstering the roster through TAM.
Well, Lewis' uncle knows Patrick's wife and his family has gotten to know Patrick over the years... #CFGFamily

Looks to have good pace and he's a good size as well. Distribution looks solid and he can score a solid goal too. I just hate highlight videos. We all know Seba has some of the best highlight videos and that worked out well.
Forget about the highlight reel, he was 2x captain of UConn, and they're traditionally pretty good. Made 1st team for his conference. He's not that big though, the team's website lists him as 5'7" 160#; if anything, hopefully that means he has a low center of gravity for sticking tackles because he's not going to win a lot of headers.
