NYCFC Players Wanted Thread

The Guardian bashing on Terry, warning MLS to stay away.

Side note - did this really happen (mentioned in the article below, but quoted from another article after I looked it up):

"In the immediate aftermath of September 11, 2001, he and Chelsea team-mates Frank Lampard, Eidur Gudjohnsen and Jody Morris were accused of drunkenly mocking American tourists at Heathrow..."

Oh yeah very well known it happened. One of the reasons I've always been anti-Frank even before the whole MCFC fiasco.
 
Yes, but the trading deadline is over for now.


The international deadline has arrived. You can still make trades inside of MLS it seems.

And yes, you would think Davies or Agudelo are available. Can either of them play as a winger??

Agudelo would be a great wing option.

But you're incorrect, players can't be traded outside of the transfer windows:

(C) TRADES
Players, SuperDraft picks, General and Targeted Allocation Money, Allocation Rankings and International Player Slots may all be exchanged in trades approved by the MLS League Office, provided all of the necessary rules regarding roster and salary budget compliance are met and the trade is completed during a valid trading period.

During the season trades that involve players must occur during either the Primary Transfer Window (2016: February 18 – May 11) or Secondary Transfer Window (2016: July 4 – August 3).

Zlatan to MLS looking even more likely now per Sky Italia.

Crazy if true. If the Galaxy unload Gerrard early and add Zlatan, I'll be a bit upset we didn't do that with Lampard.

Outside chance the rumor means he's signing with LAFC and will then be loaned until 2018.

Higher chance that the rumor is pure bullshit.

Would love if it meant a fourth DP. Don't care if we get Zlatan or not if that is the case. a 4th DP, especially if there was no cap hit, a 4th DP would upgrade the overall profile of the league significantly.

Chelsea's Terry Offered One-Year Contract


By REUTERSMAY 13, 2016, 8:57 A.M. E.D.T.
  • LONDON — Chelsea captain John Terry, who feared he had played his last game for the club, has been offered a new one-year contract, interim manager Guus Hiddink said on Friday.

Hiddink, who is preparing for his final Premier League match at home to champions Leicester City on Sunday, told a news conference Terry was considering the offer.

The former England defender is out of contract at the end of the season and said earlier this year he expected to leave.

The 35-year-old made his debut for his only club in 1998 and has played more than 700 games for the west London side.
