Nycfc Transfers - Summer Window

[Seth]

I might be in the minority and think that Pirlo and Lampard will play well together.

I'm right there with you. Really looking forward to seeing them play together.

Seems Kreis & Reyna wanted to go with this Colombian striker instead but Ferran Soriano vetoed it in favor of Pirlo. He says it's asinine to say we don't need Pirlo but points out the lack of communication between NYC and Manchester

You guys discredit yourselves by retweeting this kind of article. No new information, rehashing the same quote from the winter about this.

At least we know Kreis & Reyna wanted a younger DP. Nick Chavez said they had made him an offer so it's not like they were just sitting idly by while Soriano did everything.

It can put to rest the rumors that Manchester controls all.

I would just like to know who hand picked Mendoza and Nemec. Whoever was running the international FA effort last winter needs to step it up.

To be fair, how many good players are ever available during the winter?

This really doesn't get discussed all that often, but MLS is unique in that the natural transfer window is totally counter to most leagues in the world.

For this reason, I think it makes more sense to poach players from Liga MX, Colombia, and Brazil, all of whom (I believe) run summer seasons, than it does European clubs who have their contracts expire at different points.

Not shocked. Kreis tries to do things on the cheap because he can't run a big club

NYCFC_Dan can we get one of those scripts for Kreis quotes like the one for NJRB. Any time we get a Kreis quote, it should automatically insert a facepalm meme of some sort.

It sounds like he's referring to someone other than Masha. One new striker, please.

Maybe it's Yaya (credit to NYCFCWatch, I'm just not smart enough to know how to copy the tweet).

Yaya said he'd be open to a move to NYCFC if asked.

Given MCFC suffer with having him out for part of the season due to the African Cup of Nations this may not be such a long shot. (Wouldn't have that issue in MLS)

Here's the full article for those interested. The above quote is at the bottom and the only time he mentions NYC.

Part of my family is west african, I love Yaya but I don't want him here to cash a check and start pouting when things get tough.

Just getting caught up on this thread. Uribe would have been a great signing for NYC, but Pirlo is a no brainer.

So far it looks like Williams was our last transfer, out.
