BLUE BALLS NYCFC: Gabby's back.
Santi had 13 assists last season, 6th most in MLS. He is absolutely worthy of being a DP. he put up Maxi Moralez-like numbers in 2022, and he wasn't even the starting No. 10.
I think we always think of DPs as players we have to add as DPs, not as players who can be promoted into DPs, but Santi is young and improving. Would not surprise me if he becomes a consistent 15-assist player for us.
Great he's finally here. We're clearly building toward an extremely high level of tactical flexibility. I'm sure Nick is happy to have him in camp in time to get him fully integrated.
Will be a good question to ask Cushing whenever the next press conference is.Do we think he’s match fit? Or doesn he need to until mid March before he can feature
Yeah. No excuse to not be at least as match fit as everyone else.Will be a good question to ask Cushing whenever the next press conference is.
He's supposedly been training with Bahia so should have a somewhat decent level of fitness, but nobody really knows for sure.
Excuse me while I troll all the Bahia fans on Twitter, they can keep their “next Neymar” lol
what the hell is this off-season
Oh I just mean what a weird roller coaster, lol.An attack with Santi at the 10, Talles at the 9, Gabi and Thiago at the wings is pretty solid. Parks and Morales in D-mid is also very strong and maybe Sands comes back, too. Martins and Chanot are strong up the middle. Don't know what we get out of the fullbacks. We need a lot more depth, but for now our starting XI is very strong. Of course injuries/fixture congestion will eat into that.
We no longer have one of the top rosters in MLS, but I feel like we're a better team than the conventional wisdom from NYCFC fans thinks we are.
Does this squash the rumor? Or is he Patrick vieira'ing it?
