The Funes Mori who's a defender should be invited. I'm sure he can't be that much worse than Gonzo. His bro has 1 cap for ARG already according to wiki. Parker hasn't played with the senior side yet so any info on whether or not we approached him? Holmes should be invited to U- competitions or camps to scout him. I'm sure it may have been done before.
Center Forward Suggestions
- Thread starter NYCFC_Dan
- Start date
I believe the cap for his bro was a friendly so he isn't cap tied. I may be wrong tho.
Is the thought here to bring any random pseudo-American striker in on the squad?
Not sure how logical that is.
How about over performing minor league forwards or quality MLS bench players.
It's a risk I guess, but I don't see the harm in aquiring one of the afromentioned players, at least on a trial basis. Sometimes these type of players turn out successful, such as lee nguyen.
I realize there is a lot of trust in Euro scouts but most these "American" players have almost no pro experience outside of camp.
I think NYCFC is better off scouting NASL and USL to find Americans. They've at least played competitive pro matches.

Agreed that some do have experience, I was talking generalities.
I'm mostly saying except for Liverpool ex-player most would cost a transfer fee, which with a cap NYCFC won't want to pay. MLS players could be signed with allocation funds or draft picks. Most minor league players in the USA sign 1 year contracts so they would be free.

Still, fun to speculate and grab names of lots of mostly unknown Americans-Abroad. It does mean something since approximately 20 of the 30 players need to be Americans or green card holders.
Probably more mileage out of MLS bench players, under-used players and/or the players that will be in the unprotected list come December. Also NASL players from the better teams (Cosmos, Minnesota, Atlanta, Carolina etc).
Some more I would in the US (or green card) forwards department:
Colorado's Danny Mwanga
Houston's Omar Cummings
Montreal's Sanna Nyassi
Minnesota's Christian Ramirez
Atlanta 's Justin Chavez

You forgot Francesco Totti. Let's be real here. As of now the only big names in Europe will be players on the verge of retirement. It's not about having a team with chemistry. From a business standpoint NYC FC is looking for players that will draw crowds. Anyway as a cf trequartista ?!? Totti
There's another location on this forum for MC player speculation. This is for the NYCFC MLS team.
I don't see how this is MC speculation, is it just because there are two former MC players listed? There is no way that any of these players listed would be headed to MC. NYCFC however, possibly.
Totti would be great, yes. Not sure he would come to MLS, but then again Villa and Kaka are coming, so why not!
