2019 Roster Discussion
- Thread starter NYCFC_Dan
- Start date
Well if JIB leaves we REALLY have no one up front. Like not even a backup. No. One. CFG now has on their hands to sign two forwards, and I hope they are readying something. If not, holy hell what a beginning to the season we're about to endure.
I love the Keaton Parks idea.
As I’ve said many times, you always need an extra starting level guy in midfield - it’s a long season. With Parks, Ring and Sands, I would be very happy.

Exactly. We would really need a splash signing at striker.
On the positive side, it would free up a lot of TAM and cap space to make that happen.
And maybe the next guy won’t act like a startled teenage moose every time the ball comes near his feet
I'm no Berget hater, and am a bit cautiously optimistic (shocker), that he can have a decent year this year as the starting CF. I felt like once he was getting run as the usual starter up top while Villa was out, he was fairly productive. Perhaps the differences in styles between him and David resulted in a loss of synergy that looked terrible.
Either way, I wouldn't be upset if he were to leave, especially at that salary. I think that would work out the best for us, IMO.
Lol, that's an incredible analogy.
Seeing some of these names makes me realize that compared to some of the names around him, Jo did a good job.
At the same time, you look at the other names and wish he could have provided the same production as some of the others
A bit of both for sure. Could definitely not use a Yannick Boli, but Albert Rusnak, come on down.
Rusnak resigned for 2 large per year. Would have loved getting him.
This is awesome this would be the best transaction of the year!!! addition by subtraction one of the worst signings in NYCFC short history , Berget took up 850 K of salary cap what waste , whoever scouted and signed him should be fired . Let's hope this story is true !!! great way to start the day !!!!
I wonder if the Yangel negotiations involve the Berget cap space.
So after all this time with no news, we have a number of different stories/rumors going around:
1. Signing Keaton Parks (MF, 21) on 1 year loan from Benfica
2. Re-signing Yangel Herrera (MF, 21)
3. Releasing Jo Inge Berget (F, 28)
4. Signing Lucas Venuto (F, 23) from Vienna.
5. Signing Justin Haak (MF, 16) to 1st squad contract.
I like that we're getting younger with each transaction. And we still don't know what the plan is with the open DP spot vacated by Villa...

Y'all keep talking about removing Jo as "so much more cap space!!" but then you need to remember we signed Jo and Amagat with "so much more cap space!!".
Amagat made $261,250, Berget made $816,667. Total of $1,077,917.
MLS Forwards in that salary range:
David Accam $1.25mm
Diego Rossi $1.05mm
Kriztian Nemeth $1.07mm
Kei Kamara $1.00mm
I'd trade Berget & Amagat for any one of those, any day of the week. And twice over on Wednesdays.
My point isn't who we can sign for that amount. My point is who we have signed for that amount.
