Whatever happened with the Devlin rumors??
Most rumors just fade away. Nobody makes an announcement that the rumor is dead because nobody announced anything official that needs to be updated or denied. That doesn't mean the rumors of discussions were definitely false. Nor does a few weeks of silence mean the discussions died. We basically know nothing with certainty and are unlikely ever to know unless and until a deal is imminent.Whatever happened with the Devlin rumors??
Seriously this is arguably worse than just keeping him here. Notwithstanding some attitude/youth issues, he seemed to get along well with the team so I don't see how this is addition by subtraction. I guess I'm not upset if Jansen has a very low tolerance for even a little whining, but I just keep wondering what Lee does well? He overpays for potential, gets almost nobody who makes immediate contributions, and can't clear dead roster weight.This is a half season loan with no option to buy. So it doesn't free up a roster spot for us. How exactly does it help us for this season?
Why would NYCFC roster take a hit bc of this? I thought as long as the loan pays full salary comp then it is exempt from the roster rules for the duration of the loan?Ahh, there it is from Bogert. NYCFC's roster takes the hit because CFG wants to keep Jovan's potential value in house.

then have man city "buy" him from us and loan him out.
this is bad move roster wise. he can ball out and get loaned to girona or something but thats ultra high risk. still pointless because we have one less roseter spot we can use.

We've all been saying Jovan will be monster once his frame fills out so it makes sense to send him somewhere with a pommes frites heavy diet. #PartOfThePlanGuys don't worry this is all part of David Lee's plan. Clearly Jovan is just going to get some reps in Europe and then come back ready to join Lee's other young prodigies who should be star-level players by mid-season completing the master development 5-year rebuild plan that sets us up for decades of success in MLS. I know right now it looks like CFG is just using our roster as a storage location for players like Jovan but trust me CFG care far too much about winning to even think of doing something like that. In a few years, David Lee is going to be seen as the Billy Bean of MLS and we are all going to look crazy for questioning him.
I bet either of my FM proficient kids could have used the record-setting funds we spent on Jovan to identify a feasible signing that would have significantly improved our club (of course with the chance that said player could be from Brest or Middelfart).
