2019 Roster Discussion

[Ulrich]

I think there is a better than 0 chance that Medina is now moved in the summer window. Maybe to CFG.

Have the little birdies told you the club has finally figured out what we’ve been saying and given up on his skill set?

If he's staying within the CFG family and isn't careful he could end up in India. Mumbai FC, he's coming...

I want to set proper expectations and I’ll choose my words purposefully. What i said is part little birdie, part connecting the dots and part conjecture. Maybe in equal parts.

First, there is a player that CFG has wanted for NYCFC for a couple of years. That player is being made available this summer. He fills a position of clear need. All of this is fact.

Medina has not progressed at the rate the club hoped. We have 3 DPs and he is the least valuable. All fact.

Now to the dots. Medina has been moved down the depth chart. The further down he goes or stays, the less valuable he is. And the more expendable he becomes. If he’s not valuable and there is a player available who would be a big success, those are your dots.

My conjecture? The less he starts and plays, the higher the chances he moves on. I don’t know if there is a market. My conjecture is that CFG would “assume” him rather than sell for a loss right now.

Is Aguero’s contract up this summer?

If it’s Sneijder I’m going to be so pissed.

David Silva. I put good money he's coming to NYCFC at some point.

 

[BxLio91]

Is it Alexis? Hope for his sake CFG doesn't send Medina to Melbourne because he's going to die in the A-league.

I think you needed to choose more carefully. Cue the Aguero speculation.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

David Silva. I put good money he's coming to NYCFC at some point.

Does he fill a position of clear need?

To me, that’s only striker/cf or left back.

 

[mgarbowski]

Personally, having Aguero here would be a nightmare. I mean, I'd love his quality, and I have no opinion either way of him as a person, but every MC fan in the universe will crawl out of the woodwork to scream "AGUERO" every time he scores and we'd have to see and hear that stupid clip ad nauseum.

I have to admit, that stupid date inversion on Cityzens still has me in an extra bad mood about our older brothers and I'm so fucking tired of being a fucking clone. Fuck Man City and all connection between that shit club and us. I don't want Aguero.

If Aguero is the only striker we can get this year, would you still not want AGUEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?

But think of the joy you’ll have sending Medina to CFG/ManC

 

[Kenny]

I figure he's talking about Fuchs. I would love Agueroooo but he's only 30, and one of the best forwards in the world, don't think we'll see him for a few more years if ever

I really hope that ship sailed. He’s 32 and if using a DP slot on an outside back, we better bring in somebody like (a healthy) Benjamin Mendy.

They'll just loan him out somewhere.

Not our problem

 

[ManhattanValley]

Sacrilege. When you're out of love with that clip, you're out of love with life. See also: DEENEYYYYYYY

I figure he's talking about Fuchs

I have zero Fuchs to give on this one. Never understood why people on here were ever excited about it.

 

[Kjbert]

No update on Fuchs.

I don’t know if he’s really the answer anyway. Guy has been a backup for two years. Much better options available on a free this summer if they were interested.

I've been here so long that when you said there is a player CFG wants for NYCFC and he fills a need, I immediately thought of Iheanacho.

But obviously you're talking about Aguero.
