Guy could earn $10mm for all I care. With that transfer fee TAM option went out the window.

But it does mean he’s in line to be our highest paid player in a couple years. Unless we move Medina or Maxi for someone who commands a large wage. We might have one of the lowest payrolls in MLS right now.

 

[Kjbert]

We have $2 million of TAM and I don’t know if there is a player on our roster right now that I would bet $100 would score 10 goals.

 

[Kjbert]

If you don’t plan to sell the player on, the sell on clause is meaningless. What’s the market going to be for a 26 year old Romanian in MLS in a couple of years?

I don't know man, watch this new highlight video posted yesterday:

Yeah, it's a highlight video, but he is looking clinical.

There's a reason he is known as the Romanian Giovinco.

That's why they call him The Scientist.

Like Giovinco, he has tattoo arm sleeves and I’ve seen plenty pictures of him sticking out his tongue. At least he’ll look the part.

Can he do FKs tho?

at least on the highlight vids it makes him look like he likes to shoot the ball. something the whole team lacked last season.

 

[Kjbert]

Maybe he’s just a big Coldplay fan

How much would you bet on that though?

 

[Gotham Gator]

Someone tell DJ Mode.

That's why they call him The Scientist.

It's a long way from "Science" to "The Scientist".

 

[The Toe]

I hope he brings an attitude to scoring that his tattoos and bald head portray. His touches to set up his shots look excellent, which makes it that much easier to finish.

UPDATE: Fanatik reported on Friday that the deal is done between NYCFC and Universitatea Craiova, with Mitrita set to undergo a physical and move across the Atlantic in the coming days, via a transfer fee of "close to 8 million Euros." According to the report, it makes him the third-most-expensive outgoing transfer in the history of Romania's top flight.

Here is the article cited by the MLS website. It means there are now 3 separate sources, all Romanian (for what that's worth), none of which cite the others.

I was working with you!

We could just say that Mitrita is "Poetry in Motion"!
