2019 Roster Discussion
- Thread starter NYCFC_Dan
- Start date
Come on, man. Kangaroo Jack asked two questions clearly intended as alternative options and you answered “yes” without saying which question you were saying “yes” to. Basically the classic bad work email reply.
So, let’s try again:
Is your statement that “Mix didn’t want to play soccer here” based on (a) first-hand access to the locker room and club staff, or (b) second-hand reporting in news stories?
Please answer either “(a)” or “(b).” Multiple answers or answers in any other format will not be counted for purposes of scoring this exam.
Is this an open ended question not grounded with variables such as contract fee, contract length, who becomes 2nd LWB option, which established CB is benched, is Kompany’s health an issue, are we getting anything in return for Medina/Sweat, etc, etc.
Simply asking the question you did, I’d look at options C and D, and if told they don’t exist then I’d contemplate firing/demoting the technical director. I’m just not sure why we’re possibly taking a CB as a DP - seems like a luxury signing considering the other two guys being Maxi/Mitrita.
Good grief - how the hell did I open up this can of fucking worms by posting about Mix making a goal?
The guy was relegated to the bench by our first coach and then after getting a second chance became completely persona non grata under our second coach. I don't think anyone has the inside story, but clearly something was going on. I hated every minute of it, as I really wanted him to succeed. I am glad he's doing well in Korea (almost as huge as Midas, apparently), but he's not ever coming back here.

I like Kompany, but bringing him in would be similar to the Rapids bringing in Howard a couple years ago.
Modest upgrade to an already strong position. DP slot for probably a couple years locked up as he declines.
The difference here is that we can actually spend money for a DP, Colorado wont so that slot didn't matter to them.

You have more faith in the greater fool theory than I do.
Lewis rumors are swirling on Transfer Deadline Day.

Good for him. Better to start for a bad team than to miss the bench for a (possibly) good one
Another young American talent going to waste in Colorado (Kellyn Acosta). Shame to see Lewis leave NYC. Really loved him here. Don’t know why we saw the FO stack us with other wingers that pushed Lewis more and more to the bench. I guess they undervalued him.
We paid $250K in GAM for that draft pick. So hopefully we get at least $600K in GAM.
basically that after remarks questioning game preparations and practice ( which is still fair even in our improved run) he was going to get little to no more minutes and once they had a chance to ship him off, hes gone.

That's less a "theory" than the "story of his entire professional career so far."
technically not a public statement, but did throw it around post game. as far as i know he never did this with PV even when he was getting little minutes.

Oh I think I misunderstood, you're saying Lewis was questioning the team's preparation and practice? Well turnabout is fair play I guess.
yea basically that. thing is he was only one saying that ( from what i heard), even if others were thinking same thing as well.
And now his watch has ended.
Hoping a substantial haul of allocation money is actually... substantial
