If we could get him, Bush would be a fantastic pickup too. He's a great goalie, but Perkins is just a bit better so Bush never gets to shine

Would Red Bull really protect their backup keeper in the expansion draft? I think if the club rates him high and sees that he's the #1 guy we all talk about drafting all the time... I think we can get him. Talking about Meara of course.
Meara is a man for others... We gotta get him.

Robles is playing well, I cant see them protecting their backup goalie.....#MearaToNYCFC
Pepe Reina? Future's uncertain at Liverpool and Napoli don't seem to want him either. We could afford his wages obviously and he's a fantastic keeper with great distribution.
According to L'Equipe,Monaco will not be signing Victor Valdes...
Would be a great addition IMO.

Wiling to use (the last) Designated Player slot on either? No way someone of Valdes or even Reina quality come here for less than DP money.
Not the smartest move with quality we have right here at home.
I'm just throwing out names to discuss Mr. Einstein! I'm a keeper myself, I'll play for free if they want.
For less than DP money? Please, call me Al.
Still NYCFC will have use approximately 20-23 DP slots to fill the team people keep posting about on this forum. Crazy talk.
Right, the truth of it is. We have to be looking at fringe players that clubs are not likely to protect. No we will not get Dempsey, and no we will not get Mapp, or Diaz, or Wondo. Who we might get? We might get a Meara, or a Jeb Brovsky. Thats the realityFor less than DP money? Please, call me Al.

You might get Wondo or Mapp (Mapp? He is not even a top paid regular MLS player...) and most likely could get players like Brovsky. But there is no way you are getting Villa, Lampard AND Valdes AND Demichelis AND Alsono AND Xavi AND Ibra AND Torres AND AND....
BTW I think Evan Bush is still not ready for MLS prime time. He has been mediocre in the games he has played for Impact MLS. I prefer Meara or Grunenbaum.
Maybe not. And I'm speaking in terms of expansion draft. On the Impact players like Mapp, Perkins, Bernier, Felipe, etc. will all be protected. As will Wondo for SJ
I know Al, but I reckon most people, myself included, don't know enough about the MLS and its fringe players to throw those names into contention. I'm learning though, watching as many games as possible and doing my research. With that in mind I'll throw some more names into the hat, Neuer? Buffon? Lloris? De Gea? Hart? Casillas?

I also have a theory on Chicago's Kyle Reynish. I'll tell that later.
You think we can land kennedy? If so, that would be awesome. Hopefully chivas folds and we can pick him up on a dispersal draft.
Would anyone take a risk on cody cropper? believe he got called into the USMNT camp. I wouldn't mind a young, hungry gk with something to prove.
It would be awesome if allowed a DP spot per position. Like forward, center mid, winger, wing back, center back, and gk. Would be cool to have a DP gk.
The last DP gk I believe was Frank Rost....who spent half a season at RB.....and got injured sitting on a plane. Can't make this stuff up.
My guess is that he flew Delta.

I think Kennedy is possible. Whoever buys CUSA may want to start over (understandably).
Young untested GKs on expansion teams so far have been disasters. Maybe Cropper is more prepared but keepers like Guzan and Seitz were not.
