is Connor Brandt still on loan from April 2015?
i thought he was brought back to us after the season ended
Chap is still here. I saw him last season and he already knew that he was staying.

Alvarez and Mcnamara played more than 2 matches for them I think + Johansen played vs Lousville
So I just bought a customized jersey of someone that's going to be loaned? Well I also got a Poku jersey and he was loaned last year so maybe it's a positive sign.
You did not apparently. NO ONE LIKES A TEASE WILMINGTON!
Geez..... they signed Little Finger !!!! Wilmington would do much better promoting him to the front office and let him handle negotiations rather than having him on the field - that's wasted talent.

Why would he agree to go and play for Wilmington? Isn't he a former big time player? Is there some future NYCFC action on the cards?
How closely are we related to Wilmington anyway? I don't quite understand the affiliation between the two.
He's not exactly big-time. Sure, he played for Manchester United - nine times (in the league). He also managed just the one season of any note at Celtic. After those two clubs he slowly tailed away towards the lower leagues, then went back to Scotland and then to Australia. I don't think he considers himself a "big-time player".
He just terminated his contract with Cork City, his home town club, having managed most of 30 games for them. If he didn't think he could stay there then there wasn't much left for him - having already spent several years in Australia he clearly is open to new experiences so he probably sees this as another chance to have one last season touring another part of the world.
He has somewhere between a zero and nil percent chance of ever moving up to NYCFC. Remember that he's 35. If he could only manage two games for Melbourne City in half a season, he's not likely to be viewed as a prospect here.
As for the relationship between NYCFC and Wilmington, the two clubs are contracted to share training resources and ideas and NYCFC have to loan them at least four players at some stage for some length of time before season's end. That said, NYCFC have a vested interest in raising Wilmington's game in that it gives their loanees a higher standard of football to practice with and there's every reason why CFG might see it as worth while to throw Wilmington a couple of bones in order to keep them on board and enthusiastic. I can see every reason why they might have set this one up, though it is of course no guarantee.
