Not directly related but this gives you some sort of idea of how the owners work.I think you maybe surprised at how young the owner is
That's a bit harsh until we see how he and other transfers shake out this window. And next one. And next one ...Is CFG paying the electric bill and webmaster, coaches, training center etc, yes. But they haven't done anything special that isn't done by almost all MLS owners. Look at Orlando or even Sounders. That's committed ownership.
Iraola? Sure he sounds nice. I prefer Dempsey or Giovinco.

Its not harsh. Look at what Orlando, Seattle, Vancouver and Toronto, just to name a few, have poured into their teams to make them better and competitive. I am not saying CFG sucks as owners, far from it. But lets not get carried away that they bring something special or have brought something special. They have done the minimum required. Maybe time will change on this perspective.That's a bit harsh until we see how he and other transfers shake out this window. And next one. And next one ...
This is our first year. And we look like we will be fielding a starting XI with Villa Mix Lampard and Iraola. And of course the mystery DP3. In our FIRST YEAR.
Comparing to current players at established clubs just doesn't make sense. I, for one, am grateful to have owners who are bringing in the kind of talent it looks like we are getting. If they all suck I look forward to hearing your I told you so. But for now this seems like a great direction.
I prefer David Villa, but each to their own.Is CFG paying the electric bill and webmaster, coaches, training center etc, yes. But they haven't done anything special that isn't done by almost all MLS owners. Look at Orlando or even Sounders. That's committed ownership.

Very cool. Indeed his words are ringing true. Man City is indeed one of the bigger clubs in the world. Are they as good as Barcelona or even real madrid, no. But then again who is at this current time? Without question Man City is a top 5 club.
Barcelona
Real Madrid
Man U
Bayern Munich
Man City
To me these 5 clubs are the cream of the crop over the last few years. Sure you may have a Juventus or a Borrussia Dortmund who can compete on any given year and play for the champions league final but they still aren't in the realm of a power team as these top 5 are.
I am trying to figure out what team you misspelled Man U. Not a top five team anymore.
That was me. Still is me. I wear that shirt because they don't sell NYCFC stuff in fat guy sizes. The hat? Well the colours are the same for both teams. As to meeting the MCFC players? Wouldn't you take the opportunity to meet those world class players? It was being filmed for a documentary. Am I am Man City fan? Absolutely. Am I an NYCFC fan? Damn straight. I bought my season tickets Day 1 of sale. I was committed to this team before the announcement when we were told about it by a friend of ours that works for CFG. I love my City so don't project your views of my being a fan of NYCFC as well as MCFC.There's this one guy that I saw on the video boards who was wearing a "City" shirt, clearly for Man City. He also had one of those court jester hats from Man City. I also saw him in the dugout meeting the players from Man City. My perception is that he's a fan of Man City's sister clubs rather than NYCFC outright. But anyone rooting for us is better than someone who is not.

I'll let you know as soon as I see him play in MLS. But I'm sure he is a good signing. Just not a over the top signing that is because of the CFG connection. Isn't that the topic of this thread?I prefer David Villa, but each to their own.
In regards to Iraola, name a better non-DP from Sounders, Orlando or Toronto (or any MLS side for that matter).
AHA!!! IT"S YOU........Andre is a true NYCFC man and attends every home match. I know cuz I yell his name as he's going down to his seats in 234 and then I hide so he can't figure out who yelled his name
