2025 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread

Yes, the famous 2018 founded Inter Miami first discovered the 33 year old KDB in MLS.

It would really bother me if KDB came to MLS and it wasn't with us. What's the point of our Man City partnership if we don't get players like him to come here?

The man city connection only gave us potential dibs on developing talent.. maybe. Not a chance it meant we'd get any rights or preference with a star leaving man city. It's always up to the player.

Shay Facey and Angelino...who else?

Yangel Herrera was signed by Man City and then loaned to NYCFC.

Of course it's up to the player. But also, the organization should have a way to try to push players toward NY.

We’re best positioned to sign anybody

This quote from Pep about KDBs departure makes it sound like they pushed him out a bit. If true he may not be too egar to go to another CFG club:

"Speaking to the media, Guardiola said: "The decision has been made for the club, and the club is the club. Me, Txiki [Begiristain, sporting director], and the club, so this is what it is. It was not easy for me to tell him it won’t continue."

yeah. and none of those guys were superstars leaving man city. they were all developmental talent, which is my point. the CFG/man city connection only gets us potential dibs on the youngins hoping to develop and then play for man city first team, not the aging super stars.

Both of these may be true. It certainly looks like they're pushing him out, and it doesn't look like they're pushing him our way.

Apple doesn't have up to date payment info for me and finally cut me off of the MLS pass after weeks of threatening to. I don't see us as being worth spending the money on reupping it as things stand. We sign KDB or someone comparable and I'd probably get the wallet back out.
