I think we're done with Lampard, good thing I didn't buy a jersey yet.

I think MLS doesn't say anything because he was never a player with them and they know there's some dirt on their hands by allowing MCFC to introduce him as a NYCFC player, so they're waiting and hoping for it to blow over.
I think NYCFC doesn't say anything because the people that pulled this double-deal control what comes out of NYCFC'S collective mouth. Do you really expect Reyna or Kreis to speak against Soriano if they value their jobs?
Essentially, what can they say?
Reyna said its great for NYCFC to get a player that is so needed in the PL title race.
Claudio Reyna said:“Frank is a star and it is no surprise that Manchester City is rewarded by his contributions on the field every single day," said NYCFC Director of Football Claudio Reyna in a club statement. "He is eager to get to New York once his commitment ends in England and will be available to play on arrival as a permanent member of the squad given he will come to us having played at the highest level."
"His exact starting date with New York City FC will be confirmed as the EPL and MLS seasons unfold," according to the NYCFC club statement. "All parties remain in ongoing dialogue to create the best outcome for all."
I actually went back and did that today. Some of the wording is interesting. "Commitment in England" ? Commitment and Lampard in the same sentence is a dead give away that tongue was firmly in cheek.I choose to read that all with a very ironic undertone. It's "no surprise" and he's "eager" to come to NY.
