Official: Pirlo Signs With Nycfc... Soon?

[dex]

They're just referencing the same AS article that everyone else is. Could still be just a bunch of BS.

Is AS known to be a reliable source??

Is anyone else doing the following:

a) Furiously refreshing this thread
b) Furiously refreshing their Twitter search of "Pirlo"
c) Accomplishing nothing at work?

I hope fake beards don't constitute "costumes" on the YS prohibited list, because there are going to be a lot of them for his first game if this comes to fruition.

Personally, I don't know, but this paper/journalist seems to be the same source that broke the "Xavi staying at Barca", and "Xavi moving to Qatar" news.

But, I don't know why they's get the scoop on an Italian player going to an American team. That's what makes me concerned about this source. Why didn't this come out of Italy or here? Di Marzio is an Italian source, and he claims no deal has been signed yet.

Despite everything that's happened, a Lampard-Villa-Pirlo trio would make some amazing soccer

Screw fake beards. Unlike CP_Scouse I have already gone through puberty. Grow a real one.

Could it be the paper of choice for Ferran Soriano?

I bet when Lampard or Pirlo short Villa a pass, he won't stand there with his hand on his hips lol.

 

[The Toe]

Could you just imagine the first home games for Pirlo and Lampard? Unreal atmosphere, we may sell out again.

I sent out a couple of emails to some on the NY beat writers to get their take on the situation. I'll pass along any replies I get.

For shits & giggles maybe I'll send one to that douche bag Jack Bell.

Everyone seems to be picking up on this report

Even DiMarzio believes it could happen, they just stop short of saying he's accepted the offer. They say he's still evaluating it.

Fox Soccer doesn't screw around. And freaking MLS retweeted it.

Both reference the same AS article. Why can't anyone else find a different source? Is this has happened, then someone else would leak it.

"Could happen" and "done deal" are very different in the rumor game.

Don't do this to us world. Everyone is citing that same article...Lamp me once, shame on you...

MLS tweeting that might be just for the hits.
