Didn't they have cash flow problems in the Spring? It seems unlikely that has changed so much that they suddenly can pay an even higher fee now.
I wonder if it has to do with the copa libertadores victory?
maybe? but they back to back champs so they had good money from last time. the issue seems to be that they already had other debts so that money had to go there.
taty this past week said in argentina media that europe is the next step and he has offers but checking to see what works.
Should I stop hoping that Taty will be with us until the summer to help make a CCL run?
The rumored fee that they couldn't pay before was $4m. The fee has to be at least 3x that now, likely closer to 4x.
I need to update that post from above to now say "thrice" rather than "double". And I think I'd even be disappointed with 3x at the moment.
When i met him at the RSL game way back, he was shorter than me. Then at the championship event in portland he was a head taller than me. wtf!
I was thinking that he was like 6’3” last year, now he’s 6’6”?! Soon he would be making more money hoopin for the Knicks
Lol no. I think he’s a legit 6’2” or 6’3”
In terms of how he played this year, I think he’s much more Acevedo than Sands. Solid in possession. Very good going forward with a pass. Sands much more content tiki taka up the pitch. Haak more aggressive offensively. I didn’t see him in a back 2. I don’t know if he can play a back 2 but at minimum he’s a back 3 CB. Still think we need a CB unless they think Vuk is good.

You could tell Haak is more offensive than Sands based on academy highlight reels in which he is featured dribbling through the 18 and scoring. Sands would never do that.
Good to hear he's progressed so much. Would love to see him get some real minutes this season. He's the only homegrown left who hasn't featured for us (not counting mcfarlane)
Lots of depth next year still. For those worried about the run of games early season, assuming health.
GK: Johnson
LB: Malte, Gloster
RB: Gray
CB: Chanot, Callens, Vuk, Haak
CM: Parks, Morales, Acevedo, Zelalem, Haak
CAM: Maxi, Santi
W: Thiago, Jasson, Talles
F: Heber
Glaring needs here for multiple wide players, a RB, CB and a 9.

I'm very much looking forward to what he will do in 2022 now that he had some experience playing and is finally fully fit. We just need to find his best position and get him the minutes he needs to truly develop and shine.

He looked so much better in the last few games and the playoffs. Really excited for his future.
His lack of pace is troubling to me. Could he be a 10?? Is he a 9, but not in our pressing system? Interesting player
I have an insatiable appetite for interviews where foreign players say that they thought they could dominate MLS easily and then realized they are not so much better as they assumed and they really have to work hard to keep up.

What’s the deal again with transfers and allocation money coming back to NYCFC if Taty, for example, is sold?
When Jack was sold I though it was like we got half of the fee in xAM, but that’s not right.
