Last year only 2 players were taken in the waiver draft. So, I'm not expecting a lot of big news from that. I do think a lot of trades will be announced this evening.

SOOO relieved somebody said something about that...but let's just say can we not call "dibs" on any women, married or not- it's pretty creepy, tbh.
high salary. Plus, way better players than buddle and johnson out there that are cheaper. For example- mullins.
Gotcha. I figured it was to do with finances, but with Orlandos recent signing I thought they may be interested in a bigger name.
It's also worth noting that we didn't use a single international spot in the expansion draft. Ballouchy, who is from Morocco, has a green card.
So our roster right now looks like this:
Forwards:
David Villa
Patrick Mullins
Tony Taylor
Midfielders:
Frank Lampard
Andrew Jacobson
Josh Williams
Ned Grabavoy
Daniel Lovitz
Mehdi Ballouchy
Thomas McNamara
Sal Zizzo
Defenders:
Kwame Watson-Siriboe
Jeb Brovsky
Jason Hernandez
George John
Chris Wingert
Goalkeeper:
Josh Saunders
We still have another DP, MCFC and the Draft. I am going to go out on a limb here and say one of the MCFC kids will be a Goalkeeper. Very crowded midfield - you would think Lampard, Jacobson and Grabavoy all start.

Fantastic draft. Four out of 10 players under 25, three locals, two RSL players ... and a partridge in a pear ... oh nevermind.
As I said on Twitter, this franchise is a bit maddening. Either sky is falling (Lampard, home shirts), or things are on the right course -- like today.
2015 will be a fun one.

established also means older. NYCFC got some vets, but a lot of the names can be foundational pieces for the club. Also worth noting that young upside players can be great trade chips too in a pinch.
That's HUGE. Gives NYCFC a lot of flexibility with DP & MCFC Academy options.[/QUOTE]
Where is that being posted?
Johnathon Top, Aggbossoumonde, and Baptiste would be awesome
I don't know how far back most of you guys go, so let me just lay this out for you: Before his series of knee injuries, George John was as good as Omar Gonzalez. Maybe even a little bit better, with quicker feet and the ability to defend in space, which let the Dallas fullbacks push up aggressively and at speed. His defensive presence allowed them to open it up offensively.
I loved watching him play, and FCD's slow decline following the 2010 run to MLS Cup can be traced directly to John's health. There are doubts, given that he has barely played over the last couple of years, that he will ever get to that level again.
But maybe NYCFC know something about his health the rest of us don't. John's still just 27, and if they can fix him – or even get him back to 90 percent of what he was four years ago – they'll have picked themselves an All-Star.
This bit about George John looks promising if he can stay on the field.
