Seems like a net positive to me - good players are willing to play for us because they know we will take care of them and have multiple avenues for getting them abroad.
This isn’t unique to our club. Sell these guys. All I ask.

Sands - loaned out
Taty - loaned out
Maxi - walks despite our one year option
Callens - walks to a sister club
Johnson? TBD
Apparently, the current striker at BHA is a major headache. A real attitude problem. Which means if they're going after Taty (who they rate, especially De Zerbi -- he really wants our guy) they're likely serious about locking him in. We could be in for a haul.if reports are true, we should be getting some money from Taty.
I now finally understand what you want and can't imagine why you want it.Or
“Dear NYCFC Fan,
Thank you for being a fan. This winter, you may have noticed most of our top players left the club. We thought it was important to lay out our strategy and in what direction we are moving.
Youth is important to our mission. Players that have left are aging out yada yada and our scouting network is looking to build on prior successes. We have a DP spot, lots of AM, a U22 spot and so on. Yada yada.
Best,
David Lee”
Prior folks did this
That being said, sometimes when there's not much but you still want to perfect something, so there's always something to comment on and try to improve. That show I see myself in any hobby, so why shouldn't we hold them to the same standards?I now finally understand what you want and can't imagine why you want it.
"Dear Fan,
Here is some corporate speak offering no insight beyond what you already know."
I think if he did that he'd be skewered by someone(s) on here for not saying anything of substance.
That also goes for the complaints about specific player moves. I know in some ways that's the point of the forums, to nitpick shit to death. What else are we going to do with our time? But it also feels like the worst of micro-management. You've got a worker producing great results year in and year out and you're complaining that a technique here or there not just could be better, but is absolute shit. I give the guy producing great results more credit.

I've lost count of how many times I've logged onto Twitter hoping to see one of those foreign reports where a journalist butchers our name in a report that reads something like: "the young striker couldn't find hole in first team, expected to sign contract with NYFC in the MLS."
I understand the lack of signings thus far. But to not even have a nugget of information coming from anywhere is concerning.
I'm also wondering if the club is waiting on other moves until it knows whether it's paying SJ + Barrazza + the third, or Barrazza and 2 relative nobodies. You would think they could figure some moves out regardless, and yet...I wish we would get a decision about Sean, he’s been pretty quiet since the Raptors game
Does Girona need a GK?I wish we would get a decision about Sean, he’s been pretty quiet since the Raptors game
Perhaps the club should have sold them last summer when we were near the top of the East fighting for playoff position and a trophy match on the wayShould have sold them. Like Matarrita and Ring before them
I think they point is they should have sold them last winter/summer and *replaced* them with the long-term pieces. They had a one-year plan and then let everyone walk, and are now looking for replacements with fewer resources like the GAM they could have gotten.Perhaps the club should have sold them last summer when we were near the top of the East fighting for playoff position and a trophy match on the way
... Yeah sure, let's sell them right after winning MLS Cup. Seriously?I think they point is they should have sold them last winter/summer and *replaced* them with the long-term pieces.

Sir, May I introduce you to the Miami Marlins?... Yeah sure, let's sell them right after winning MLS Cup. Seriously?
Benalcazar, Owusu, McFarlane, Carrizo?The guys we’ve moved abroad didn’t start here.
Haak was the first U12 kid. I think he has a good future, but man is it bad behind him right now.
