2021 Roster Discussion

[Fantazma]

the price will have to be right for the club to let him go when we are making our final push and have no solid backup yet. heber is weeks away and looking like he won't be even close to match fitness until sometime in october if we are lucky. magno could probably play the 9, but he hasn't worked on the runs and elements taty has been working on since heber got injured. not to mention magno's fitness as well. we'd be in a slump for awhile and i wouldn't be surprised if ronny tried to play with a false 9 or stuck medina in there and hoped for the best.

this is nycfc FO you talking about, this type of planning doesnt really happen with them. I mean Mitri was literally our best player last year and they let him go after his best game vs miami. the FO is all about "hoping for the best". i do think the price will be higher than the reported $4M that they agreed with Palmeiras but i dont think is much higher than that. i certainly dont think $10M at all. at most those $4M+ $4M to make it total $8M or so.

 

[Fantazma]

I'd be very disappointed if his fee was anything less than double $4m

i dont think it will. like i mentioned above maybe a $4M + $4M if targets are met. Or they do $4M and keep a good percentage of rights for future sell on fee.

 

[mgarbowski]

Buchanan just sold for [unofficially] $7M plus 10% sell-on, and New England keeps him for the rest of 2021. That has to be a floor for Taty.

they let mitri go for personal reasons. this would be purely business. as mgarbowski said above, there's no way they let taty go right now without paying a pretty penny to essentially blow a huge hole in our playoff chances.

i dont have the trust in the FO. they will sell if the price is right ( to them), no matter effect on playoffs. they assume we are covered in the striker position with heber, thiago, talles, medina.

 

[mgarbowski]

Yes. They let Mitri go under rather unique circumstances. The year was almost a throwaway from the start, and oddly, the fact that Heber was hurt just before the Mitri deal might have made it easier to let him go, as the club probably figured we were done anyway, so might as well be accomodating. Then against the odds we earned 2.0 PPG after they both left, which was just enough to make losing in the first round of the playoffs hurt more.

Letting Castellanos go now, this year, with our window closed, announces we are more in the business of selling players than trying to win.

And to think I was thinking about putting Taty on a jersey this morning

 

[Sabo]

Disappointed but not surprised by a probable Taty to Eredivisie move this window. Short-term (weeks) not good for the team, but in the long run its a great move for Taty and NYCFC who attract talent by earning a reputation of developing talent. I suspect we will eventually be getting as much transfer fees from his next move as we do from this move. Taty hasnt been shy about wanting to play in Europe. Feyenoord would be a great landing spot for him to play and shine.

FO already spent $8M to replace Taty with a 9. https://www.espn.com/soccer/new-yor...nt-compare-him-to-manchester-city-bound-kayky He just isnt healthy yet and needs to develop like Taty did

 

[Fantazma]

Their coach saying its not likely to get taty. some other tweets saying taty is "too expensive" but im using translator so not sure if that is what they saying.

We are a selling club and this is the summer window. It is what it is.
Another reason not to buy Talles Magno

 

[Gotham Gator]

We are going to sell him sooner or later.

Let's just hope when it happens we have someone healthy who can play striker. Both Heber and Talles can, but one is out and the other is less than 100%.

 

[ckdoerrn]

Ignore. Already posted in another thread.

[ZYanksRule]

I really think the most likely scenario is that he stays with us until the end of the MLS season if this comes to fruition.

That is a much more reasonable fee for him than $4m.

 

[Kjbert]

I have to say, if he can finish mike he did on Saturday, he’s worth every bit of $10 million.
