NYCFC Players Wanted Thread

Not going to lie, since fantasy is accepted in this thread, I want Tyler Adams.

And part of the reason I want him is part of the reason it would never happen. That kid is balls out all the time.

If you didn’t watch RBNJ late in the year, you missed the emergence of an all-around menace who delivered a lot of great final balls.

As an alternative, I will accept RBNJ selling him to Europe, pdq.

ETA: yes, Europe. I’m not picky.

He improved a ton over the course of the year. A ton.

Just from June to August even. I remember in our first match at RB, we dominated that game and particularly Adams was useless. In August where we squeaked out the draw, I thought he was their best player. Sucks he had to play for RB because he is very easy to like as a player.

I think we asked. But we didn’t have much to offer when it came to enticing a move. He’s from NY, so we were just too late getting a club.
 
Two points:

1) NJRB will sell Adams within the next 18 months. That's their business plan

2) This is why Sands needs to play somewhere next year. He needs lots of minutes. Otherwise, we've stunted his development

We could drill down into the details to make this work-able, but here's an outline of a plan I think MLS should adopt.

The budget charge for u21s homegrown/GenAdidas players is decreased based upon u21 minutes played. That decrease in budget charge only applies on a forward basis and only to other covered players.

For any covered player that is sold, the decreased budget charge he earned is doubled, but still limited as to apply only to u21s.

That helps mitigate several problems, frankly. It helps incentivize the signing and playing of young players, and it helps teams escape some of the budget difficulty of replacing good young players with low budget impact.

ETA: Also why we don't need Yaya. Pirlo already stole Sands's garbage minutes this year. I don't want that repeating.

16-18 are the key years for development (Pulisic said this in his Players Tribune article). Sands needs to play somewhere.
