Does the Alonso Martinez announcement mean we have an official announcement for every all-but-official announcement except Maxi? I've lost track.

Yep ... the last one we're waiting on is Maxi. Then hoping they all get their visas before our next game.
Really feels like bringing on these players is signaling the end of Talles as an NYCFC player. He's clearly fallen out of favor, and I feel like he's not going to be on the 2024 team. Especially with his DP status, wouldn't surprise me if we tried to find a better player for that slot. He was great last year before Taty's departure, but has been a zero since Taty left. Feels like it's time to move on.
Buyout Thiago Martins. Or restructure his deal so he’s not a DP. We need that DP to be in the attack. It’s hamstrung our roster.
Let Talles play on the LW with an attacking LB. And let them cook.

I don't disagree with any of this, but considering how Talles seems to have fallen out of favor, I think it's in the cards at this point that he's leaving in the winter.
One of my thoughts yesterday was "Why have a DP centerback and then play them next to Chanot and Gray?" Callens and Martins were worth the DP slot. Martins with this current crew is not.
I can't remember who said it, but next version of roster rules needs to remove transfer fees from DP salaries.

I blame Talles' performance this season on the system, not the player.
And since he hasn't performed at a high level he's getting less minutes which just makes it worse
MLS summer transfer window awards: The best signings league-wide
Messi, Busquets and Alba made this an unforgettable summer window, but there were plenty of other interesting transactions too
theathletic.com
Bogert splits the analysis between Miami and everyone else, so best signing Messi, best non-Miami signing Diego Rossi by the Crew, etc.
NYCFC didn't have best or second-best anything. We only rated a mention for being active and obtaining "several talented young players (though while shipping out Gabi Pereira)… but they are in 13th place in the Eastern Conference so they certainly needed to be busy."
I watched Leicester need a late game winner at home in the second division this morning.
There really could be an epic shift with the Messi effect leading into the World Cup (and in our case a billion dollar stadium in NYC).
If they pull another Lampardgate, it would have seriously repercussions
Alright this is his make or break “scoop” no more flip flopping for him lol
if he is thinking Summer 2024. Then it’s after playing copa America and right into citi field/ yankee stadium lol.
