NYCFC Players Wanted Thread

How much is he making now? Plus he would be saying adios to the NT.
Transfermarkt says his contract expires in summer 2017. He'd have to be a DP. I don't know how that's going to work.
He's making 150k pounds a week now. Wherever he goes next, he will have to take a pay cut.
You are right, he would be saying goodbye to the National Team. But I think guys like Kane, Sterling, Barkley, Alli are already ahead of him - depending on what position you think he plays.

I think we might Start seeing the big MLS teams start doing crazy signing bonuses
Someone on here has posted before that you get to make one transfer fee payment a year without it hitting the cap. Maybe it was MagnusPax ?
Good dribbler, comfortable passer, tall, but nothing much in the video (the first 5 minutes) of him using his head
All bonuses count towards the cap hit. They are amortized over the length of the contract.
NYCFC Sign Jorge Teixeira to a 30-Year Contract
I wish I could like this twice.

Supposedly you get to buy out one contract per year and not have it count against the cap. But I was under the impression it had to be an existing player. For example if we paid $1 million transfer fee for Player X and broke the cap hit into 2 years payments of $500k, you could "charge off" the 2nd year out of pocket and it wouldn't hit the cap. I know RSL did this with Saborio and Seattle did something similar with Shalrie Joseph a few years back.
This seems to be exactly the type of player we need

while we do need depth too. What we need to sign are starters and make the current players the back-ups, hopefully. that;s the kind of quality we should be aiming at the new players, if I am not asking too much.

OK question has to be ask cause these two are on the out with there clubs and they are U.S. Internationals. If NYCFC had a shot at either John Anthony Brooks or Ventra Alvarado which do you go get or do you skip both?
Brooks. Tall, decent distribution (but not as good as Alvarado) and quicker than Alvarado.
But I think Alvarado would be the one to move here.

Brooks got bigger potential. if we think we have good staff who can bring out the best out of Brooks, then we go with him. But i doubt that. Just because we have PV does not mean we are instantly great at developing and nurturing young talent...you need to put in the whole system which takes a lot of time/money
Would love either, would prefer Brooks. Don't see any possible way NYCFC can sign Brooks. Would be way too expensive and our DP spots are full. I'm assuming Alvarado would be too expensive as well, but I'm not too sure.
