Said when Rijeka acquired him, it was one of the club's best deals in a few seasons. Only problem: he was hurt often.

In short: "#NYCFC got a fine versatile winger, that can score and set up goals easily. He can also adapt easily to new tactic and squad, and is lighthearted."

He’s gonna fit right in with our vaunted medical staff. Rumor is Mata has volunteered to be his medical facility mentor.

So is the club going to make an announcement? Or will he just check in one day

Whenever some news is announced, I honestly picture everybody leaving the office at 5 o’clock on a Friday afternoon and the social media team standing over their desks typing the announcement, hitting send and then running to the elevator.

With the truncated schedule, the CCL tournament, the US open cup, do we think the MLS needs to increase the roster size of teams? Especially for us, but some teams now face International Call-ups which also take players out for some time; Or is this more of an NYCFC problem and their lack of a USL/U-23/filled out depth.

Teams can have up to 30 players, so I'd be shocked if that happened. Increasing the salary cap/TAM allowances so teams can have more depth is something likely to happen soon.

I speak the language and read a few of the articles. The only thing that stood out was the supporters praising him yet pointing out he has legs made of glass.

So we got the Brazilian Rossi?

The real vets make sure and turn off notifications before they even hit send.

Does it even matter which?

And anyway, you’re both wrong. Those guys are strikers.

So you mean to tell me you could have been browsing Croatian soccer Twitter and updating us on the transfer process translated tweet by tweet but didn't?

There’s nothing to report. It’s all assumptions. Whatever Crooks tweeted sums it all up.

Looking forward to NYCFC_Dan's epic translation of the one good Croatian article I've read on Héber so far.

I’m at work but the top part says he passed his medical and is awaiting a visa. Talks about how coming to a Europe and the clubs coached turned his career around.
