Montevideo had a game on Monday May 31 and Santi didn't play. The window closed June 1.
It's June 2. There was no announcement. Is it possible he signed but they kept it secret? I doubt it. I've never heard of such a thing. But now the window is closed, and won't reopen until July 7. There's been an awful lot of rumors and smoke and tweets and instagrams from Santi himself, and reporting and even a GD cake.* But Rodriguez still is not on the team and won't be at least for another 5 weeks. The only people who have
not confidently told us he is coming imminently are the entire staff of NYCFC. It seems the lesson they learned from Lampard is not "Don't disappoint your fanbase by delaying and withholding a player for the benefit of other CFG teams." Instead they went with "They can't accuse you of lying if you keep your mouth shut and let the world do it for you."
* Never trust a cake.
