NYCFC Players Wanted Thread

[gbservis]

Would love it if we picked up Kei Kamara...http://www.massivereport.com/2016/1...ontract?_ga=1.102401537.1085776157.1453835615

Wow I didn't realize how little he made last year! Only $546K, Columbus is so cheap, the guy was amazing last year give him some TAM.

they averaged 16k last year, despite being one of the better teams in the leagues with one of the most exciting players. They have to be cheap.

would still like to see another striker added for depth...eric hurtado?

speed for days, awesome hair cut. Great on the 1v1.

Since you can spread TAM over two years, you could pay a guy for 1.5 years and use all the TAM instead of needing to pay someone for the entirety of two years

Updated Depth Chart

The below assumes a 4-3-3, so some players who would be wingers or attacking mids in other formations are shown as forwards. Italics means International Player.

Forward: Villa, Mullins, Poku, Shelton, Harrison, Taylor
Midfield: Pirlo, Lampard, Mix, Jacobson, McNamara, Ballouchy, Lopez
Fullbacks: Iraola, Matarrita, Martinez, Allen, Brandt
Centerbacks: Mena, Brillant, Hernandez, Wingert, White
Goalkeepers: Saunders, Johanson

Three players to go. No international spots left (perhaps one, depending on Harrison). What do we get?

 

[Gotham Gator]

We need a goalkeeper - seems like Rawls is the most likely.
We need another forward - if we have $$$ left, do we spend them here?
We need another CB.

I'm irrationally excited about Tony Taylor and what he could bring.

I think Taylor could fill a big hole in our right hand side. If the injury hasn't blunted his pace, then he can be that right winger for us.

 

[JayH]

Recent buzz seems to strongly suggest that Jack counts as an int'l, so this may temporarily become a NYCFC "LOCAL" Players Wanted Thread. It makes the speculation far less fun.

 

[SlimShadyRus]

My assumption is that they feel Johansen is the GK of the future and a decent backup plan for this season. If they don't he is a giant waste of one of our precious international spots. GK is the one position that has some depth in the US player pool.

Who for example? I mean somebody we would be actually able to sign.

Philippe Senderos was released by Villa

Philippe Senderos was released by Villa

What's his story? Was he injured while at Villa? Why no playing time?

It seems like, if healthy, he would be one of the better defenders in MLS.

Philippe Senderos was released by Villa

i wanted this guy but im sure someone will pick him up in europe on a free....though he may be injury prone, but i feel thats more because he doesnt even play much.

I still want to take a flyer on Stuart Holden....

Edit: just saw that Houston still owns his MLS rights (about a zillion years after he left the league).....

 

[BxLio91]

Would he sign for 150K?

when was the last time he played?

 

[Ulrich]

Would he sign for 150K?

He hasn't played in 2 years.... it's not like he can command much money with no recent form to back the negotiations up. And I seriously doubt he's making more than $150K as a pundit - yeah, I bet he'd sign for that in a heartbeat.

The big question would be whether NYCFC could trade Houston for his rights???

I meant Senderos but Stu got posted before I pressed post.

 

[Tom in Fairfield CT]

I think someone may be trading for Landon Donovan's nipple. I've seen it twenty times on twitter today.

That picture was disturbing.

Thank you for not posting it.
