I'll never understand tweets like this:

The 20-year-old currently plays for Quindío in the Colombian first division, where he has 1 goal in 11 league appearances this season.

- He's a centerback. why would we care how many goals he has? Tell us shutouts, tackles complete, # of tackles, something defensive... not goals? lol!

apparently the kid is following nycfc on instagram i dont have it so i cant confirm.

 

[Fantazma]

looks like Maxi staying one more year. no details on what type of contract for 2022.

I hope the sporting department knows what it's doing...

WOW

If it's non-DP, I am a supporter.

His performance over the second half of the season was solid. He put in 11 assists, good for 6th in the league, and that's on fewer minutes than anyone else above him on the list, other than the leader (Gil).

And the most important thing: he stayed healthy this year. He is so clearly the engine of the team. I think this is great news if it's a non-DP, and it's still good news even if it is.

 

[GratefulDawg]

Has to be as a non-DP only.

We have to make sure that Taty stays, so that Maxi doesn't take any more penalties.

 

[VernonJohn]

If Maxi takes another penalty, that's it. I'm out. God love him, but there's a line.

DP if he doesn't take penalties.

Non-DP if he does.

Non-DP if he does.

Can they put it in the contract?

Jokes aside. This is cynical but given our track record with DPs I really don't care if its one more year of Maxi as a DP. Even if Maxi's DP slot opened there is no recent evidence that the club would fill it quickly and even less evidence that it would be filled with a player that could contribute on the level of Maxi from day one.

Who's in, who's out? All 27 MLS clubs announce roster decisions following 2021 season | MLSSoccer.com

With MLS Cup 2021 champs NYCFC emerging from a pool of champagne and confetti to announce their roster decisions, all 27 teams have made public their roster update as the offseason enters full swing.

Brek Shea and Leerdam eligible for free agency. Some pretty big name MLS players, imo. Backup options?

Hopefully, if Charlotte FC takes one of players in the expansion draft we can encourage to trade said player back for an international slot, as I would like to roll this team back again next year. Hopefully Sands and Taty stay for 2022.

 

[Gotham Gator]

Interesting, if true.

[Gotham Gator]

My gut feeling is that Taty is gone after this season - whether to Barcelona or somewhere else. He doesn't have anything more to prove in MLS.

 

[Shwafta]

Interesting, if true.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1460744732800339975

He's definitely leaving, but to Barcelona? Seems like... a stretch...

 

[FredMertz]

Media reports have Messi and Pulisic heading to Barca as well.

 

[Fantazma]

Interesting, if true.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1460744732800339975

he is apparently one of many alleged targets. The rumor goes that Dome recommended him to the Barcelona FO.

 

[Kjbert]

I believe Pulisic on loan to Barca. Makes a ton of sense.

CFG has to be the floor bidder on Taty. They’d be stupid not to be. And while I disagree with them on a lot of things, they’re not stupid. They’re usually very strong in finding value.
