Nycfc Sign Diego Martinez
- Thread starter franchise646
- Start date
No ones taking that contract.
Edit: Did we use our buy out? Doesn't every MLS team get 1 free buy out per season? or did I dream that.
I think Kreis was the only fool in the Wingert situation...now we're stuck
That's why I said we would have to provide allocation money to rid the team of his contract.
We have not used it, to whatever extend you trust information posted by MLS.
But it is an option. See III.D here: http://pressbox.mlssoccer.com/content/roster-rules-and-regulations
Well that's no fun!! Don't you know how these interwebz work?????
True lol. Guy's a beast. Thought I was watching old Jordi Alba highlights!! That better?
Seriously though...We need depth and I like them picking up talented depth.
Why oh why would we EVER let that wonderful rule go unused each year???? It's like a damn Get Out Of Jail Free card from Monopoly. It's the Golden Do-Over of Do-Overs, otherwise known as a
Midas Mulligan , and we should be excited to use it each year..... It's our very own Teddy KGB pink slip..... Pay Him, Pay that man his Money!
Hopefully he gets more comfortable at that role with more playing time. He doesn't have the physical ability to bomb up the sideline anymore that we need if we going to some type of 433.
Regardless, this has to be his last year with the club.
With no real basis for this except that it fits (some of) the (public) facts and makes sense (at least to me) I've been assuming we used it on Grabavoy. This is inconsistent with the public statement that NYCFC chose not to exercise his contractual option. I presume, in my imagined scenario, that we did this to be nice because not exercising an option to renew sounds better than using the option to buy out. It would not be the first time NYCFC and MLS lied about a contract situation. It would in fact be the third time by my count. But I would not hold this one against them if it is the case (nor do I blame them for George John).
I certainly cannot think of any reason we would not have used the buy out on one of the other remaining players otherwise, but I really have no other evidence for these musings.
To be fair, I haven't heard another team use this this offseason. Maybe we used it and just didn't have to tell anyone.Why oh why would we EVER let that wonderful rule go unused each year????

Great signing. At first, it can be a bit of a head-scratcher at first coz we just signed Mataritta, but adding more speed and youth to our wings is an A grading for me. Keep in mind that Matarrita is a full international now and will be expected to miss games for us. Martinez I'm sure will be getting some meaningful minutes this season.
With this signing, PV and the FO has remained true to its vision this offseason of making our team more athletic, younger, and faster. Let's keep the momentum going.
A tall, physical CB signing should be around the corner. Can't wait see what the team has in store for us.

Dude, stop trying to start Shelton. He's fast and looks cool. But he needs mop up minutes for a while.
Hopefully my ass. I hope I never see him in the 18. Fucking garbage player who cost us multiple games.
It'll depend on his development during the offseason as well as the preseason. The potential is there, so can PV and his staff develop him properly?
I think Shelton deserves more than mop up minutes this season.I believe this season he has the potential to be an influential asset off the bench with his pace. Possibly even a few spot starts if our team is struggling or PV is looking at different formations/strategies depending on the opponent. It's too soon to write off Khiry.
By frantically looking for speedy citizenship loopholes and refreshing Jack Harrison's roster page for reassurance.
Last season I was pretty sure I knew better than the club when it came to Poku > Grabavoy. So it's a good place.Well that's no fun!! Don't you know how these interwebz work?????
