dybala - who has a similar celebration and fellow argentinian explained it as a gladiator mask because every time he goes into a game, it is a battle.
always thought taty's was for similar reasons but i guess not!

Not gonna lie, if you asked me for any MLS game where Heber was subbed on and was a game-changing influence, I don't think I could name one.
(edit: post injury, of course)
Taty news.
It occurred to me this morning that he could be gone very soon. Matt Turner has one more game for New England before he’s off to London. Taty could be gone on a similar time frame if things wrap up quickly. In fact, if we decide to hold him out during negotiations, he may have played his last game.

Yeah, I feel bad, he has such great energy & chemistry with the team, but not sure he'll be able to ever get back to the way he was pre injury. I also think we play a bit differently than when he first joined, he needs to be more of a playmaker and less a goal hawk. He's obviously still recovering to a point where he's 100%, so we'll see, but just tough break overall, he's a fantastic teammate from what I can tell.
I still think Heber can work himself into a starting role. With Taty still here he is the #1 out and out striker on game day and more importantly in training. Once Taty leaves Heber will probably fill that role and be more cohesive with his teammates. Or Talles takes the striker role, Heber stays on the bench and gabby/Andrade end up on the wing
I’ve never picked an EPL or (hell European team) so with Jackie boy and Taty on the roster Leeds will now be repped in our house for sure (if Taty goes to Leeds). Aaronson and a much lesser extent Marsh are a bonus
I figured the USOC game against NER may be the last time I see him play live.
Hopefully he gets a final bow and another 4-goal game at YS for his send-off!
It's official. Man City signs Castellanos
Just not the one you are thinking about

Interesting they would pass. They must have someone willing to hit the bid then.
Think he would work at Leeds. Or at one of the promoted clubs that doesn’t expect to see the ball much.
This led me to look up the history with Jack Harrison.
Man City bought him from us for $4 million and sold him 3.5 years later for $14 million.
Man City still control the rights to Yangel Herrera.

based on the rumors flying around, it seems they passed because they know Leeds is interested and might be using that CFG connection behind the scenes to influence the deal in order to get the player they want from Leeds. but again, all based on rumors.
If Leeds fields Harrison, Taty and Aronson while coached by Marsch, that's a very heavy MLS NY-Philly axis presence. Some of this must be Jesse acquiring what he knows. He didn't overlap much with Taty, but he also must have one of the best MLS personal networks in Europe.
Kalvin Phillips is the rumored player they want.
Leeds United officials spotted in New York ahead of potential transfer
It would be an exciting signing if Leeds United can pull it off
I think the use of the term option here must be pretty loose. I am pretty sure NYCFC got Taty on loan from Torque with an option to buy, and Man City was not involved in the transactions. I see no basis for MC to have a formal, legal option to acquire his rights. I don't think they have any formal option to all NYCFC players. There might be an informal agreement to let Man City have a fair opportunity to bid on any player BYCFC looks to sell, but I think if it were a binding arrangement it would run afoul of MLS rules and perhaps even others.
I think the author's use of the word "option" in the article is to indicate taty was one of X number of players man city are looking at to sign. I don't think it refers to any type of contractual option to buy that was tied into his NYCFC signing through some fine print CFG link as you said.
I agree, but “option” has a specific meaning in world football transfers and the tweeter styles himself a soccer journalist.
Man City has an option in the sense that both clubs are CFG owned, and they can direct NYCFC to sell to Man City. Now, MLS has a say as well, so Man City likely can't force something below market, but if they want the player and make a market bid, they should be able to get him for themselves. I agree that there isn't a formal contractual option and that the author was using the term loosely.
I think it also means that if Man City believe that a player is undervalued after NYCFC shops him around, they can sign that player and gain additional income if he develops the way they expect. That's what happened with Harrison.
