Yeah, the way NYCFC have been over the past years (and what they're going to charge for tickets to the new stadium) make me a lot less to want to travel to Abu Dhabi for a holiday.

NYCFC got more action in Summer House than the transfer market this season.
I was waiting for someone to bring this up. My wife showed me clip this morning. Wasn’t expecting that

I'm still flabbergasted by David Lee's comment that the summer transfer window comes "quickly" after the primary window. It opens 3 months later! We play 14 games between the close of the winter window and the opening of the summer window! We will have played 23 games of our 34-game regular-season before the summer window opens!
His constant spin on everything is so demoralizing as a fan. You know you're being lied to, and you never know whether he believes his own BS or thinks you do.

The fact that someone immediately mispronounced it as "NYFC" is the classic talking to a non nycfc fan about the team experience lol
Now I'm interested enough to ask for background, lol. I take it Summer House is a contrived reality show where people who don't know each other share a summer house? And one of the contestants this year is a NYCFC superfan? employee?
Anything else?

I admit it was very niche but if I have to watch a HGTV/Bravo show, this is top of the list.
I only skimmed so I missed that. You're right of course. It's a very normal gap between windows. What is unusual about the MLS transfer schedule is the Primary window goes rather far into the season, and then after a normal transfer hiatus, the secondary window opens 2/3 of the way into the season instead of closer to half.

Basically it’s a group of late 20’s/early 30’s wanna be influencers being put in a house to party all summer, they know each other because it’s mostly the same crew. One of the guys was paid to go to an NYCFC game and sat next to a family fieldside. He went through a messy break up and the daughter of said family slid in his DMs.
1) girls shows up to party to meet up with Carl, brings up soccer game
2) He is sober and starting an alcohol free bar they did an event where the new girl shows up and explains to everyone how they met at soccer game
3)girl on show gossips to ex about NYCFC game, messes with timeline for “drama”
I can’t believe I had to break this down like this. But score is 3 mentions to 0 signings.
That sounds like something that had to be cleared with the team and probably coordinated with marketing. Any and every avenue I guess.
This is going in the opposite direction of what we need.

Good for Talles.
Bad for us. This just causes more trouble for Lee who has trouble juggling DP spots. sigh. Not a good feeling at all.
Lee’s best skill is using loans to our detriment.

There's even less excuse to wait to sign a DP when he's not back until at least next season.
Gotta keep that spot open, this is just a planned development move by Lee just like he's doing with Jovan.
Transfer an unwanted player to free up cap and roster slots.
Extend a loan to delay any benefit!
It’s like he wakes up and looks for the best way to troll us.
im confused, doenst a full year loan open up the DP spot? Mitrita was on loan for like 2 years and we still had 3 DP no?
Now that I think about it again, it might be ok.
His loan extension opens up the DP spot for this season. So, as of right now, we have 1 DP and 2 U-22s (if i'm not mistaken). Let's say we sign a DP and Talles comes back in 2026. At worst, we will have 3 DPs and 3 U-22s (if Jovan comes back too), which fits the 3DP roster choice. So, we should be good.
For a minute, I was thinking that we had too many U-22s and couldn't choose the 3DP option. Correct me if i'm wrong. this stuff gets confusing. hah
Yeah, I remember this game. They had Carl sit pitchside and was a few seats from me. I had Carl introduce himself to my now ex-girlfriend. She's a fan of Bravo.
I can never recall the woman who says her parents attend NYCFC's games every being at match.

Wait, why the hell are we talking about this? It's just a distraction. Other teams have signed players this window. DAVID LEE, SPEND THE GAM! NOW!
IIRC even if there are 3 DP and then 2026 comes around and talles is no longer in corinthians, i think the team has until first day of season to be roster compliant, so they can find him another loan like they did mitrita like every summer window.
