Nycfc Sign Shay Facey (on Loan) And Pablo Alvarez

Facey is a good signing. This pleases me. 
I'm guessing Alvarez is a bone they're tossing to Villa.
And as an unimportant side note it seems to me that the Daily News is going to be the newspaper of record as far as NYCFC is concerned. The Post is running articles on the Red Bulls (wonder what they did to piss off Brian Lewis? ) and the Times isn't doing much of anything.

Alvarez makes sense - Villa, as team captain, will need some eyes and ears on the bench to better manage team morale.
Regarding Facey - It's only a six month loan. He will go back to England in time for their fall start, rather than finishing the year in New York. Ouch. That's probably a big reason why Kreis suddenly cooled of on wanting to loan anyone.

Aka cover the back line until we bring in a DP defender in summer window
Oh, that old trick. Second time I've fallen for that one.
Alvarez hosts killer tapas parties. And his stash of under-appreciated Riojas is not to be trifled with, even in its reduced-incarnation here in his micro-apartment, which is all I would guess he can afford because surely we gave that guy a nano-contract.
I wrote this tidbit article in January stating that Facey would be loaned for 6 months and could be loaned for upwards of 12 months.

If he features as a key player I expect him to stay for the full year but that is way to far into the future.

Also stated neither verified by the club but the dude who wrote the article is actually in Charleston right now so I'm sure it was leaked to him.
Stefan Bondy seems to have the inside track with NYCFC press relationsFacey is a good signing. This pleases me.

He has been great covering my Nets. I expect the same with NYCFC. A good Twitter follow.
So actual journalist gets inside info and some access from the club while random internet bloggers don't? Man this club is anti press.
Signing Facey is great news, organizes the defence well and will probably be a starter based on pre-season performances, he can also cover right-back too which is always useful.
Alvarez hasn't been particularly impressive in pre-season, but he is a tidy player and will offer potentially valuable depth, plus if he keeps Villa happy then it's all good in my book.

When a club official tells you to pump your brakes, you pump your brakes. Either way I am glad news became official today.
