Honest question. Who would you rather have on the team to play: Vieira or Pirlo?

I haven't seen Vieira play but I think he'd give it a lot more. He may not last as long on the pitch as Villa but he will play with the same intensity.
I know this is hard to fathom for some but pirlo runs harder for this team than he ever has in his career. I know this because ive watched him his entire career for both club and country. Hes just not that style player.
If your asking me if i think Vieira would fit into a system Vieira has created himself the answer is yes but i dont think thats saying much.
And thats totally me just guessing because i have no idea what kind of gas Vieira has left in his legs.
I agree with the point that Pirlo is playing hard and running more than he ever had to. Poor roster construction.
Sorry, but I disagree with "poor roster construction." It's just different roster construction. At Juve he basically played with what amounts to an all-star team. Here you don't have that ability due to the salary cap, so the players around him of course won't be as good as what he's used to.
Pirlo was a marketing ploy -- and a well-executed one -- but there's a reason even Kreis didn't want him. Kreis, an MLS-lifer, knew that Pirlo wouldn't be an on-field success in this league. You need star players all over the field to take advantage of Pirlo's skill-set, and an MLS team doesn't have that. He's just the wrong type of player for this league.
I prefer calling it a bad signing. The rest of the roster is pretty good at the moment.
A perfect fit for the 2015 squad then.
I know we don't need him but i seriously want Kelyn Rowe. Is Tommy and 150k of GAM enough?
Rowe is intriguing but prob looking at more as he is highly valued at New England. I'd love fagundez, but he would cost even more.
There's very few Chileans in the league, but Gary Medel is being shopped around with South American interest. Think he'd be a great fit for MLS. Definitely a DP worthy defensive mid.
2 year, club option 3rd, I'm in. He's a monster.
fyi - DCU chasing?

Medel, Ring, Maxi would be awesome. Keep Herrera too, depth is never bad.
Would be even better if Ring could hit the side of a barn when he tries to shoot.

Looks like Inter is asking too much for him. Boca said no and Tigres said no.
MORE CHILEANS IN THE LEAGUE
SANCHEZ TO NYCFC
Actually Beausejour would be a great pickup for Vieira.

Why not use all four and go with either a 343 or jump to the 3421? We'd be ripe to evolve at that point.
medel would be perfect for us. he;s exactly like ring, and can be used a s center back when needed. my issue with him at inter is that he will chase the ball all over the place for no reason. but in the mls thats a good thing because more running = more skill.
rumor has it he chased juan jesus to the locker room one time because the ball went so far out. #urbanLegends

Medel could open up his very own Cazzo Gelateria right here in New York
he can set up shop with mikey lopez, who also likes to run in circles and chase the ball wherever it goes.
