Who do you guys see leaving the club this offseason?
I tho k we clear house. With a whole new coaching staff I think we make a lot of changes.
Tommy Mac and Wallace I hope will be gone. Clears up a lot of space.
I believe we'll see the back of Lewis, because even the current management seems to think he's not needed. We've seen how dangerous he can be in the attack, and how unreliable he is in tracking back and defending. I think Domé feels that his weaknesses are a bigger factor than his strengths. Also, I believe that Lewis himself must be fed up with the situation, and perhaps thinks that he can get a bigger role elsewhere.
Wallace has become a bit part player, and McNamara isn't even that anymore. I'd be surprised if they were retained after the season.
Apart from them, I can't see many who are certain to leave. Maybe one of the reserve goalkeepers? Medina is an interesting case. He hasn't achieved what everybody hoped he would, but he's a youngster, and there's every chance that he'll grow a lot as a player, with a full season's experience in his bag.
I can't see Berget leaving, no way. He's the only target man type forward in the side, and unless a Mandzukic or suchlike becomes available for a reasonable price, he will be needed. I also believe that the club is looking for any possible way to keep hold of Herrera, who is growing into a hell of a player. And he's still only a youngster. I doubt there are clubs queuing for Matarrita's signature, but if a club from i.e. Southern Europe shows some interest, he could be gone.
Whatever happens with Villa - will he retire, who would he be replaced with - it was a very good sign that the club could tie Johnson, Callens and Ring to new contracts, because that's a very good spine of a team, and definitely a strong signal to any first class player who's pondering on whether NYCFC would be the right address to choose.
