• Albert Puig – The former Barcelona youth technical director (La Masia) had been serving as De Anza Force Soccer Club’s technical director in California since 2016.

• Francesc Cos – The mastermind behind all fitness at FC Barcelona from 2004 to 2016, where he was the head of strength and conditioning.
• Ismael Camenforte – Poached from Barcelona B – FC Barcelona’s second team – where he had served as the head physical trainer the past six years.

Cos and Camenforte sound great.

Puig and the Gris on the other hand. Makes you wonder what kind of coaches they are if they ended up where they are before getting this job...unless it was for money. I mean Chennai City FC in India?

Kjbert Said an CAM and LB, right?

CM and LB. I heard more a box to box player as a straight up replacement for Herrera than an attack minded CAM.

My post does pre-date Torrent joining the Club. It also pre-dates Cedric's injury. I don't know if there is an update formally but he told me a few weeks ago that he was likely out for the year. So another CB would make sense.

The LB (I think I mentioned this before) was someone Veiera wanted. Again, that pre-dates Torrent arriving. Maybe the Club scouted him as well and still wants him.

But I was told two players. That's the expectation during this next window.

One thing I'm starting to get from Dome is that he talks a lot during interview. Vieira wouldn't say a lot. Dome just keeps on talking. 3 questions take 6 minutes.

Did you even watch the "how do you pronounce your name?" video? xD

I heard that the players are finding it that it's a lot harder to talk to Domè than Vieira. Not sure how correct this is though but I guess we'll find out eventually.

Because of his personality or language barrier?

Because he doesn't stop talking.

He clearly has attended the David Villa school of Eurofashion.

He has this method of speaking that reminds me of Villa a lot... and then I remembered they're both from Spain so it must be a Spanish thing. LOL

Why is there no "General NYCFC Discussion" thread?
Anyway, yesterday I wrote a message to my friend, and after I sent it I noticed something peculiar... so I went back and tried it again and sure enough...

Domè accidentally tweeted while trying to navigate to the team's Spanish account. How do I adopt this adorable man.
