LA is about to sign Jonathan Dos Santos as a third DP. They are not jettisoning anyone. If they don't turn around second half, they will fire Onalfo and let the new skipper make the shake up.
NYCFC Players Wanted Thread

What trouble do you speak of, or just their record?
I am not giving up Lewis for Zardes, but I would absolutely take Zardes in a heartbeat if we could find the right non-DP deal for him. As painfully frustrating he is to watch for the US sometimes, it is undeniable that he is one of the better forward players in MLS especially being American.
I hate this, and it's absolutely the worst thing about MLS, and it's why we'll always be a second class league. That being said, I completely agree with you.
I wouldn't touch Cole. I'd bet this is his last "good season". Lewis for Zardes is interesting. Zardes's first touch has definitely improved from last year. I would take him for straight up cash. Not a fan of trading players in soccer. Rather aquire/release. But if that's the deal on the table I probably wouldn't trade Lewis for Zardes. Only have seen limited minutes but he looks promising. Will be fun to watch him develop.
We have a Zardes that never plays.
To me, Cole is the more interesting option. If we got the cap relief alongside the player to make it happen, I'd ship TPFKAU off for 4 mos of Ashley Cole in a New York minute, or as we say here, a minute.
We trying to win trophies here. Trophies. You don't do that playing RJ Allen and Mikey Lopez as your left back. Hell, I'm not totally sold you win them with Sweat there. If you do, it's in spite of, not because of.

This was my thought. Khiry is a poor man's Zardes in training (or at this point, not training). And Lewis appears to have a crafty skill set and could develop into a dangerous MLS player. Notwithstanding PV's kid gloves with the kid, the glimpses suggest that we were wise to spend the resources to draft him.
As for Cole, I can't stand the guy, but I could get beyond past feelings for a favorable deal that ensures that our back-up backs never sniff the field and we add some experience for a Cup run. And I would hope that Cole could be further rejuvenated playing for his old buddy Patrick.
we should get Azamat Bagatov from Borat
Basically, these are my feelings. I have never loved Cole, but I think he would be exactly the kind of player (eta: we need for a Cup push). I've softened on my vehement dislike of him lately, anyway.
I look at it like an MLB club going out and bringing in a new pitcher for the stretch run. If you have a real chance at winning a championship, you have to maximize the potential. There's no one we've discussed here that wouldn't be worth putting up for Cole, excepting Lewis. And that's probably more of a function of what we spent to get him than it is he's totally irreplaceable. We just put ourselves in a corner with the GAM we traded away for him (not to say that was a bad decision, it's just the inevitable outcome of dropping $350k for a draft spot).

I think the $750k from Mix is already being used.Just think... By the end of the season we will have a DP and a 750k player to add to our lineup

Well we do love wasting international slots on backup keepers so this sounds about right.

An open DP spot to fill in less than six months and almost no discussion of it (unless you count Fuchs). That's how you know your season is going pretty well.
I haven't heard the word "Balotelli" for ages.
I know, I'm poking fun at how the name "Balotelli" seems to pop up every once in a while when things aren't going well and people get desperate or bored.
