NYCFC Players Wanted Thread

There may be some Chelsea players and coaches available like immediately.

Not sure they're good enough for NYCFC - are any of them drilled in the fundamentals of the Diamond? Because it's going to take a complete intervention to rid the tactical errors that were implanted in our rosters' collective mind from this year, and until that's done, they're going to subconsciously revert to the narrow diamond every chance they get. The Chelsea guys would just be another square peg in a round hole. And how many of them will want to pass to Ned?
 
Again why do we want old players who probably will struggle with the league's physicality and who'll be bigger than the team?
I'm not a Terry fan by any stretch, but I don't think MLS could ever be too physical for him. Terry may not be the fastest, but he delivers a lot of muggings that the camera doesn't catch - he's mastered the hand-checks and timely shoves/tugs that keep attackers rooted to the ground as the ball passes by. He's also an ominous threat on every corner either to score or to clear, something we were sorely lacking all year. If he was marshaling our D this year, it'd have been an easy 12-15 more points in hand. That said, I don't think he'd be a take unless he could check his knife-in-back locker room attitude at the door, much akin to a zebra hanging up it's stripes in the closet.
 
By physical, I don't mean battling on a corner. I mean teams (Dallas for example) just playing balls into space and having Castillo or Ulloa footrace our defenders for 90 mins.
 
So with Vieira on board does this mean there's a shot Iheanacho is running around center field in 2016?
 
CDM Kean Bryan

This is Vieira's current team captain for the MCFC U21's. Just turned 19. Probably ready for a first team loan. Well known by Vieira. Fills a glaring hole on our roster. Does it for cheap.

Vieira would love to park his boy next to Pirlo and learn from him for a year while playing in a men's league.

Is he better than Jacobsen? If so then we'll take him.
