right; I said he signed for the academy on March 7th of last year... Whoops, should have specified that.
Sorry, I was misunderstood -- I meant he signed for the academy on March 7th 2019
2020 Roster Discussion
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
"A club may sign a player to a contract without subjecting him to the MLS SuperDraft if the player has been a member of that club's youth academy for at least one year and has met the necessary training and retention requirements. Players joining MLS through this mechanism are known as Homegrown Players."
Don't know what the training and retention requirements are. But assuming those are met, he's eligible to be signed now if he officially joined the academy Mar 7 last year.

Anyone know what's up with Acevedo and when we might see him join the team?

well it was already said that obtaining visas have been a pain this year and some taking almost a full month. And with all this stuff going on there may be more of a delay. so maybe a couple more weeks?
Boy how things have changed. We might not see him for little over a month if that.
If anybody is interested in a NYCFC-related project while things are slow, the Wikipedia page List of NYCFC Players is woefully incomplete. It was last updated in February 2020, but is missing many players from 2016 to the present.

Hey Front Office Intern, we have a project for you!
damn bravo is back in argentina and barely plays? i thought he could of done something in the lower end teams in europe.
I'm not likely to go do editing on Wikipedia. But here's the latest version of my tracking.
I think someone may be missing from the 2014 column. Someone who would be shaded green.
Were pretty close with managers/coaches.
Funny. I noticed that when I posted earlier and couldn't understand how it had taken years of sharing this to finally realize it. It is now fixed for future postings.
He was pretty solid for about a year or so. I remember one assist from midfield against DC in particular. But by the end, he had nothing left.
His 11 assists in 2016 remain 3rd all time for NYC and best among people not named Maxi. He had 5 in half a season in 2015. He only had 2 in all of 2017.
I recall that the big argument when trying to sign him was the extra year in 2017. The Club would have been better off paying him extra to get a 1.5 year contract.
I always wonder what could have been if him, lampard, and. villa had a full season from the get-go.
We were never going to have all 3 for all of 2015. Pirlo was not available until summer, and the club made the reasonable decision to wait on getting a third DP until summer when more players are available. Then CFG screwed us by holding Lampard until summer as well and that was a handicap from which we never could recover.
My what-if is that Lampard shows up for camp, and maybe doesn't get hurt as he did in the PL before coming over to us. Of course maybe he does anyway, but it's my what-if. Then the club gets a summer signing DP who better suits us. I also agree Pirlo was quality for the first 1.5 years, but he never was the right fit. Also, if you're taking on an aging player who needs defensive cover he needs to produce goals at a Zlatan level, not what we got from Pirlo. Anyway, if all that happens, then maybe we make the playoffs in 2015. But my what-if is not all rosy: maybe Kries is not fired, and we never hire Vieira. Or maybe Mix never goes fully into the doghouse and has a good career here. Maybe we're not playing coaching roulette, with more stability. Or maybe that is true but we also have less success and a less pleasing style of play because Kries stalls club progress. Or maybe it is just better. The further you get away from the divergence the greater the range of plausible scenarios.
