2023 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread

Yeah, that was my first thought. With how that program is growing in MLS, feels like we can get a good piece for his slot. This seems to be the model in MLS -- sign young players, and turn then around fairly quickly. Roster churn is a real thing in this league and this is a good example of it. Hopefully we'll start hearing about some signings soon because we have a lot of spots to fill.
This is correct. He is listed as U-22 on the Club's website. We signed him just before he turned 21, and Transfermarkt says the fee was €2.3 million.
He started 30 games for us this past season. I was surprised it was so much, but that speaks to the importance of depth at that CM position. He's under contract through 2025, so hopefully he does well, and there is a transfer that benefits both sides.
Past time to dust this off.
NYCFC 2023 DEPTH CHART
Striker: Heber
Wing: Magno, Thaigo, Jasson, Pereira, Jimenez
Wing/CAM: Moralez, Rodriguez, Carrizo
CM: Parks, Morales, Haak
RB: Gray
LB: O'Toole, Amundsen, Gloster, McFarlane, Turnbull
CB: Chanot, Callens, Martins, Owusu, Benalcazar
GK: Johnson, Barraza, Mizell
Italics - means status uncertain due to loan expiry, free agent status or rumors of departure.
That's 26 players - all the ones who are listed on the Club's website other than the ones on active loan. This includes 6 guys who last year only played for NYCFC II (or nearly so). Maximo Carrizo is not listed on the Club's website, but I did include him above.

Apparently the Super Draft is tomorrow? I jest gets less newsworthy every year.
kinda seems like half our team is gone. lol.
I don’t care to see Jasson as the next up on the wing. Although I would rate Pereira higher than him lol
Sometimes things are very much as they seem to be.
i know he was on loan but i forgot if he was on TAM money or not? maybe he wanted that type of salary?
According to SPOTRAC, his salary in both 2021 and 2022 was $612,500, which is exactly equal to the maximum salary allowed (without buying down with TAM or GAM or using a DP tag).
I'd take him back on max salary, I wouldn't want him here as a DP, so I agree with this decision.
But he can be bought down to TAM with a higher salary (including his transfer charge). I bet Torque wanted a transfer fee that would have made him a DP, and that's why we walked away
Anything less than $1.6 million, and we can buy him down with TAM, assuming we we have some available, which I have to think that we do. In that case, he's not a DP. Plus, we do have a DP slot available.
As mentioned, it's possible Torque wanted an exorbitant transfer fee. If so, then who else can match it? Not likely to be the Brazilian team.
Finally, it's possible that he was asking for a salary that while below $1.6 million was still so high that it would take away too much flexibility to use TAM for other signings (Johnson, Callens).

Plus think of all that extra TAM we’re getting back from Brasil in this trade!
New guy. Sounds like a depth piece.
