And let's not discount the benefit of having the CFG scouting network. Those guys look at tons of players, and we have generally done very well bringing in TAM-level guys the last few years.
2019 Roster Discussion
- Thread starter NYCFC_Dan
- Start date
I don't know about that, but he did start 20 games overall.
Not sure he'd even make the team right now.
I would like to point out that LAG really didn't buy out Gio Dos Santos in order to free up a DP spot, even if mechanically that is what occurred.
They basically tried to keep the 4 DP's and have MLS change the rules to allow four to be kept (or some other mechanism to turn one of their DPs into a non-DP), and the league didn't blink.
Well I would also be satisfied if our club signed a 4th player over the DP threshold and said “what you going to do?” Then they’d be forced to drop Medina just like LAG. But at least they tried.
I think you're both right, which shows you how bad our backline was year 1. What was the competition? Winger, Brovsky, Kwame? Maybe you could argue Hernandez was a better CB at the time?
Unpopular opinion: We're better off at LB than many of our peers, but as the team has gelled and cohesion improved, the LBs haven't. In a weird way Tinner just seems to be able to pick up on what Dome wants better than Mata or Sweat, but its still the best "back 5" in the East, probably all of MLS
Haha not sure why you thought that was gonna be an unpopular opinion tbh.
Major League Soccer - Top market values 2024
This website contains statistics on the market values of the players from the Major League Soccer, sorted by the highest market value.
Sweat is 6th, Matarrita is 7th. Ali Adnad at 2nd (VAN) plays more forward than all of these guys.
According to transfer market the Ofori loan ends at the end of the season. With Maxi possibly leaving and parks only loaned out for a year as well we will have a busy winter. Not the best time to acquire players either. I wish we would have made a move this window to help with that.
Pretty confident we're going to either buy Ofori permanently, or loan him a third year
I agree. He can’t get in Ghana’s NT and there wasn’t much appetite for him in Europe last off-season. He doesn’t even start in our best XI. Maxi is going to Racing. Try to keep Parks as a TAM, but if not we should have 2 open DP spots to fill our holes (that sounds dirty).
I can change them. Haven’t done it yet tho.I LOVE THE POST REACTIONS!!!!!!!!!! are the actual reactions custmizable or they're only a specific set?NYCFC_Dan
There’s actually a setting for negative rep. I feel like if I introduced that there would be anarchy.
The forums went from 0 to Facebook in the space of an evening. Forum historians will look back upon this upgrade as the beginning of a new era in NYCFC discourse and social dynamics.

Maxi's going to Racing eventually, maybe, but I don't think he'll leave at the end of this season. Considering his motor he still has 3 years at a very good level IMHO, and Racing won't be able to pay him 2M per year. This year is shaping up to be his best with NYCFC, so I fully expect our FO to offer him one or two more years at a similar pay. Meanwhile, Argentina is always on the verge of economic collapse, Racing could easily offer him X and be broke by midseason, his house was vandalized once already, maybe he's more sentimental than I expect, but I don't see him leaving anytime soon.

Motion for NYCFC player head reactions? Pirlo "not bad", Vieira "Quite Pleased" etc. (though, maybe not something as controversial as vieira)
