2026 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread

If he left for less than what we are paying Raul this is absurd.

His new teammate Jakob Glesnes made $1.3 million last year. FC Cincinnati's two starting CBs each made around $1.5 million.

I don't think it's crazy to think Haak wanted at least $1 million. I just wonder how far apart we were.

Is it safe to say if I were a betting man, I'd bet on a certain player being the first to be voted off this off-season in survivor? lol

Bogert has mentioned this several times but MLS free agency isn’t really free. NYC can offer Haak $X, any other team can only offer 90% of X. There is definitely an upwards limit of what he could make elsewhere within the league.

Why? Why is it his fault the team undervalued him, and apparently did so for years?

Just betting odds seeing our players that leave and how fast they get voted off lol

No worries guys. There's a 18 year old prospect with 5 minutes of playing time for a midtable team in the Latvian 2nd division who will make you forget about Haak. Trust the CFG scouting network!

I was sure he was going to Europe, or failing that, re-signing with us.

I cannot think of a possible justification for allowing him to go to another MLS team. What a clusterfuck.

This is the story.

Truly infuriating - dude is a New Yorker. Hopefully it’s something like he wanted to move to LA and not our incompetence.

If it had turned out he went to Europe and we got nothing in return I could understand, but not this.
