2026 Roster and Transfer Discussion Thread
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
I actually remembered that he mentioned last July that the team was looking at adding another attacking dp. There has been 16 weeks of open transfer window since then and it has not happened. He is a liar.
- And in the game of soccer the most important player will be "The Striker" who scores the most goals.
- Will every team have a great Striker?
- No. In fact the team in New York will often go half a season or more without bothering to get any Striker worth playing.
- Seems like they should.
- And yet they won't.
- Why?
- Nobody knows.

With one day left, NYCFC is tied with the Galaxy, Timbers, and Earthquakes for fewest players acquired this window with 5.
If you exclude homegrowns, MLS Next call-ups and super draft signings, NYCFC has 1 player transferred in either by waivers, loan, trade, fee transfer, free agent, or free. I believe the next lowest is San Jose with 3. Everyone else had 4, 5, 8, 10. To be fair, we have a very well constructed team outside of front line attackers. But at the end of the window those attacking holes remain.
Our friend David Lee has brought in 14 new players, and 11 excluding homegrowns MLS Next and super draftees. On the one hand, I don't believe they are a very impressive group. On the other hand, he has a poor budget and started from a terrible position. But he is undoubtedly capable of filling roster holes with alacrity.
