Restructured his contract this year? So it runs 2022, 23, 24?
Joe and Ian said he had an illness, then recovered from the illness and got hurt at training this week.
Thanks for the info,
ZYanksRule. I was starting to get a little worried there was some second-level, "stupid young guy" off-the-pitch thing going on. He's a really good dude so I would have been really surprised were that the case, but I know what a mess I was at that age. 
I believe I was talking about this with mgarbowski at Citi, saying that for english clubs, 12 vs 15 vs 16m is pittance and they'll probably meet the release clause.

He's more than likely going to be gone within the next month, so get your last looks at him before he goes to wherever he's going!

I wrote release clause bc my brain is still in release clause world with Haaland saga. I mean, NYCFC's soft "release clause" aka what we would allow him to go for. Not an actual release clause. Derp.

Love taty and if he goes, I hope he gets the playing time he deserves. If he goes to west ham, he's competing for a spot with antonio who is a stalwart and a beast in the box.
the worry is how we're going to look without him. two games without taty in the last month... two very different looks up top. biggest difference is how we press and force turnovers. hopefully with more playing time, heber can grow into the position again and be that guy. i enjoy talles on the wing way too much to send him in as a #9 right now, though I understand the thoughts/desires of eventually wanting him to play there.

I say keep Talles on the wing. He's very effective on the wing and is excellent taking players on 1v1. He tracks back on defense too. We can rely on heber at the #9 even though he gives us something different. He may need more consecutive games under his belt to really feel comfortable in a game again.
Worst case scenario, we play with a false 9 .. throw Jasson in there and let him get fouled to oblivion and we win with PKs and free kicks near the box. lol.
he does, i know i put a video a few threads back. Winning MLS cup/ playing CCL/ playing like 90% of MLS minutes and other things qualified him if he was a US born player, which i assume can be applied as well for him.
Without Taty, we can choose between the following options for a Front 3.
Talles - Heber - Santi
Santi - Talles - Thiago/Pereira
Talles - Heber - Santi
Santi - Talles - Thiago/Pereira
I keep thinking Leeds would be an ideal spot for Taty. He'd be great at the top of a Jesse Marsch press. Not clear whether they want to drop that much on him after paying 20 million for Aaronson.
Still, the All-MLS Front 3 would be awesome.

Or this fancy announcement is gonna be a DP signing in the striker position.
