Same. Terrific if it's a Herrera, skirt the rules signing.
I still want them to go buy a DP. I want a can't miss 15 goal scorer that electrifies the crowd and the league. I want a statement signing. A Giovinco type.

Villa is 36. Harrison fell apart down the stretch. Maxi is a nothing around goal. Our LW is open for competition. I think a good Front Four should provide 50 goals. That's double digits from all 4 of them +
100% agree. Now we can still sign a DP, which means we not only get even better, it mitigates the risk of the young signing. I was cool with him as a youth DP.
I would be fine, but the DP better not be some Yaya type signing.

I suppose, but MLS isn't a destination league -- it's still getting better, but any young player who's any good at all is going to try for one of the big 5 leagues. I agree with you, but take a look at Almiron -- not a chance Atlanta gets him for more than another year or two. And that's one of the best signings in league history.
I suppose this is true and will be the same for us soon with Harrison.
Those plus Conner Brandt.
That’s five plus a definite undiagnosed concussion when Saunders head butted the post. Our medical team does not have a stellar record, and those are just the misdiagnosed/poorly treated injuries.
What's Better?
Man City signs him and loans him to us. He's not classified as a DP but we get no transfer fee gain and subsequent GAM.
NYCFC signs him as a DP then sells him in the future and gets the transfer fee gain and subsequent GAM.

Seems like it depends on what we do with the DP slot saved in option 1. If the answer is nothing or nothing good option 2 seems better because we get the GAM.
#1. Because we can still do #1 and #2 then.
Choice A. Because we can still sign additional DPs on top of the transfer. AND it’s a loophole that will keep on giving.
The second choice only gets us that one player and some possible GAM later (after sale) to get the extra players the first option already got us.

Not sure why people are fearing NYCFC losing the Herrera's and Medina's of the world to Manchester City.
While Manchester City may be be the one's "buying" the player, there is absolutely no reason to think MC covets any of these players for themselves. With all the resources available to CFG, and Pep's recruiting prowess - there's no reason to think/believe City bought the likes of Herrera and Medina for their own use (sooner or later).
Pep and the oil money can buy anyone they want. Trust me, they have no designs on Herrera and Medina. MC is raiding the Barca, Real Madrid, and Sporting CP academies' players. No need to raid the Boca Jr. and Venezuelan league academies when you have much better options right in your back yard. Not to mention the much lesser work visa restrictions.
If Medina and Herrera prove too big for MLS they will surely be sold WELL before they ever crack the MC XI.

I’m thinking he couldn’t acquire a UK visa. So now he will play for us if he can acquire a US visa.

He probably just misworded that. Unless Man City was the farm team this whole time...
Yes. TAM is OK though
