2018 Roster Discussion

I see your Bad Plus and raise you a banjo, accordion, and an anvil.


Also, these guys play in NYC 1-2 times a year and are very well worth going to. I've seen them twice and they were a complete blast.

Also2 - I'm considering this roster related since they are from Finland and I am thus blindly assuming are good friends with Alex Ring.
Called, and raised:

 
"I have learned in the last 2 years to listen to my body and have heard the worrying signals after long intercontinental journeys. Therefore, I have decided to end my journey with my beloved Finnish National Team."

So, I take it he sees himself staying at NYCFC, or at least this side of the Atlantic for the long term of the remainder of his professional career. He's only 27.

I'm fine if he extends a 5-year
 
I know this isn't 2019 Roster Discussion but I want to start discussing how we should construct our roster for next year. I'm starting to think it would be for the best to only buy low cost bargains this off-season. Then by the summer window we'd have a large amount of resources in the summer window and strategically get hot for the playoffs. I call it the Seattle. Thoughts?

No. If our attacking spine isn't Suarez up top with Gotze and Maxi behind him, we riot.

Summer Window 2018 - Amagat and Castellanos
Summer Window 2017 - Zilch and Nada.

You are a brave soul if you are prepared to wait until the Summer Window.

Especially because we need to replace a DP this winter.

Especially because we need to replace a DP this winter.

That is very worrisome, they will want a name to make sure the casuals in the fanbase don't leave in droves. Let's hope they do the leg work and get a name that still has something left in the tank, more Villa less Lampard/Pirlo.

Or have all of our merch done by Stone Island, CP company or Fred Perry.
 
With the Villa and Medina injuries, we've essentially needed to replace a DP this season as well.

I am OK waiting until the Summer to find a DP IF it's the right DP.

I agree, assuming they go for a name, and I think they will, we need another Villa. Ideally 32 years old or younger with multiple near peak years left. No idea how you get someone like that in the winter, no team is parting with someone of that caliber midseason. Even Villa was a Summer signing, they just stashed him on Melborne for a few months.
