Really trying hard to trade Mix, huh?
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to keep him around. But everyone has a price tag, and let's be honest, Mix would fit better on most teams than he does on our team right now.

Let's go big, why not go after a young European player? So many of these players between 18 and 21 can't find a starting spot in a top league (Facey) because they don't have the experience or sometimes because of work papers.
We should capitalize on this and poach young talent, there's so many good young players out there.
Luka Jovic of Red Star Belgrade
Ryan Gauld of Sporting Lisbon
Richario Zivkovic of Ajax
Ante Coric of Dinamo Zagreb
Keita Balde Diao of Lazio
all of these players can likely be had and inserted into our starting lineup. How many of these players wouldn't jump at the chance to learn from Pirlo, Lampard and Villa? Mention links to MCFC and there's no reason we can't sign any of them. CFG can handle any transfer fees, their salary won't be too high since they're all young.
Alright, get it sorted City.

awesome idea...all for it...lets make it happen. They will be like Angelino, initially may cause us some games but eventually they will be worth millions and form the core of this club. maybe some of them are even willing to become US citizens to play for the USMNT.

Bigger problem is fitting in all those non-Americans when we are already out of international slots.
Even if they shed Calle, Alvarez... Johannnsen(?)... that's only 3 spots. And remember we traded for at least 2 of our current spots and those will return to their owner in '16.

Very good point, but also, don't forget we have already freed a spot up with Nemec leaving. So if we shed those 3, we would be at a net gain of 2 additional spots (with the 2 traded-for spots returning to their teams).
Ron Vlaar had knee surgery this summer isn't supposed to be out too long but he doesn't currently have a club he let his contract expire this summer. I doubt we could afford him but maybe he wants to come to America and maybe we could use TAM on him.
We traded the international slots for two years, not one.

Are we sure of that?
I can confirm one of them is for 15/16 (one from LA) but what about the one from DC?

There will be multiple people on the roster in 2016 who the majority of posters would have dropped, sure. But the forum runs on disappointment and anger, so everyone wins.
Disappointing if your prediction is correct. I was looking forward to seeing a full season of Angelino. Exciting to watch a young talent like him.

Other than Kitchen are there any young DMF that we can have a look at?
This page (the official MLS website no less) lists both int'l slot trades as 2015 and 2016:

No.

Kruse has publicly commented that he would lobby the lords across the pond to keep Facey and Angelino. Angelino is still technically one of the best we have. He just needs to learn how to form a line with the rest of the backs to keep opponents at bay.
It would be great to see both play, but there are three parties who have to be in agreement here: NYCFC, MCFC and also the players themselves. If any one of the three gets cold feet then it won't happen, so it's partly about whether they want to stay or not. I can see Facey staying, but I have a suspicion Angelino will want to move back to a European league - he strikes me as the sort of player who reckons he can be a star, and will want to be pressing to play in the top leagues.
Obviously for NYCFC's sake I hope he stays, but we'll see. Youngsters can be very precocious at the age when they start breaking through.

Realistically kitchen is an impronable get for any mls team. Dc wont trade him.
Okugo is realistic and a decent player.
