NYCFC Players Wanted Thread

He was technically the back-up at the end of his tenure with Aston Villa. Could be the same here.
It's a backup who can create competition. He can't ask for much more if he wants to make similar money. He'll get cup matches and have a chance to overtake Valdes, which could very well happen given Ulrich point.
 
I know his knees are dusty as hell but I would weep tears of joy for 31 days straight if he came to NYC.
We just upgraded our defense via the French Maginot Line (nothing will cross it) and our Englishmen are running rampant, and you want to dump a German next door? Sure there's a Spaniard or two running interference, or more likely acting in collusion, and the Italian won't raise a hand except to bow out early at the behest of the Americans. Wait.... Uh.... Never mind....

Don't give RB any idea how to continue to dominate the derby by showing off our Maginot Line. They might recruit an all German attack line next year to blitz us and sneak behind our line.

Maginot Line. Fucking Awesome!

So then we would need an American backline...Hernandez---Lord Kwame again?
 
Because they're American...
Did you sleep through world history? I have no idea why you want to man the Maginot Line with Americans - they had no role doing that.

The Americans backstopped (GK) the Allies by supplying the front via the North Atlantic convoys and then swept around the flanks (wingback - RJ) through Africa and Italy and attacked behind the beachhead defenses with the Airborne (wings - TMac).
 
Why? He can be Pirlo's new Vidal

Yeah, he seems like he would be great in the Iraola spot, not that we are hurting for an upgrade there other than Iraola getting older. Iraola could rotate in for Pirlo and Schweinsteiger to keep them all fresh, and back up right back. Then add Orlando Barrio on a free from Athletico National:

F: Barrio, Villa, Harrison; (Shelton, Taylor)
M: Pirlo, McNamara, Schweinsteiger; (Lopez, Iraola)
D: Matarrita, Chanot, Brillant, Allen; (Martinez, Mena, Iraola)

Shed Lampard, Mix, and Hernandez. Let Mendoza's and Bravo's loans expire. Also upgrade keeper and that CAM/CM backup spot that Lopez is penciled into right now.

I love Lampard's goal scoring ability from the midfield, but this setup would put all our goal scorers up front and keep a more formidable midfield shape that will help with possession and on defense.
