Official: Nycfc Signs Andoni Iraola

It sounds like this is a done deal by all of the reports but I want confirmation and I want it very quickly. This guy as a non DP would be absolutely amazing coup for the club.

This. Same as when we signed Mix, I was 100x happier when I heard the words "non DP".

Wasn't it completely hilarious when our own player got slammed and the old Belgian from the other team was trying to mock him, even though he actually did foul him?

Good times.

Geez. Yeah it was a foul. And Ciman looked like a jagoff, but the mocking was kind of funny.

Hopefully we'll mock Iraola less. After all, he is from Europe.

Not sure who on here is mocking Grabavoy. Lighten up a bit.

Agreed, width play is needed on this team and apparently Iraola can help with that. But the dimensions of Yankees is not conducive to wide play, that's why the teams who do have it never use it when they come here.

But in most other MLS fields Iraola would add a whole new dimension.

I hate agreeing with you. Ugh.

Which reports? I can't find anything other than this article that claims that NYCFC made an announcement during the last game, which they didn't because I was there, and that he will start on the team next season. Huh?

So far, this all seems like bullshit to me. None of the big media outlets have mentioned anything. Pirlo rumors have more legs than this. Hope it's true, though.

Well take it for what it is but Empire of Soccer quoted ESPN Deportes announcer Roberto Abramowitz saying that we were set to sign him.

Not sure how much width play helps us at home. Feels like a long-throw in taker would be more helpful. This is all about away games. Not sure how much width exists at Yankees.

Ill shit talk Grabavoy all day when he deserves it. I wasnt in this instance. The scene was funny regardless and you cant deny it. Grabavoy is usually on the floor with his hands up so what difference does it make. This has nothing to do with a Euro player vs American. Get over it.

what Twitter account
Yeah, that was the goalkeeper who was here, I forget his name. He was here on vacation stopping by the Athletic Club Bilbao NY supporters group. If you search for Athletic Club Bilbao NY you should find the account. Bilbao NY, USA, and UK, as well as Basque country supporters clubs, have been tweeting about this move quite a bit.

Unfortunately, none of these are reliable sources. Why haven't any big media outlets mentioned this? Surely one of them has info if this is true. Some of you are acting like this deal is done, but I can't even find a single real source for this.
