Official: Pirlo Signs With Nycfc... Soon?

If NYCFC does this right, they should just going to post a silhouette of a beard and long hair on a sky blue background, and that's it, if the deal becomes public.

MLS tweeting that might be just for the hits.

Definitely. Pathetic when the league the player is supposedly signing with is referencing sources not even in the same country. You'd think they'd know more than anyone else, but it's apparent that the person running the Twitter account is just some minion with no access to any real news within MLS.

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

I too can grow a beard

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

Lamp me twice...

We won't be Lamped again!

Or just a picture of Pirlo sitting in the grass in Central Park sipping on a glass of the finest Montepulciano.

That fuzzy wuzzy thing with seven thin hairs in it doesn't count.

 

[HamishBK]

This would piss me off if not true. The league should never be retweeting any transaction happening in THEIR league for starters, but looks terrible if false.

If they Lampard us again, there will definitely be riots in the streets.

CP_Scouse might cause a Teenage Wasteland

I have no issues, as you can see from a recent photo.

Just heard this from the same person who told me Drogba had offers from a few teams in MLS.

"Pirlo would not necessarily be '' DP''."

So...he'd be joining just to be able to fit in in Bushwick/Williamsburg? What a guy!

NYDN says it's "Speculation".

[gbservis]

It seems as if its a done deal especially with NBC Sports just tweeting about it

Unfortunately I made the mistake of following NBC sports for a while on facebook. They post a lot of crap.

 

[roxfontaine]

What if they could pull it off though? Is it possible for CFG to pay him up front and sign him through MLS on a non-DP contract for a year or two? I don't understand the MLS rules with regards to contracts.

To be fair the reports say he agreed to the deal. It didn't say he signed yet.

Yeah frickin' right. There's just no way. There aren't enough Garberbucks in the world to buy down that contract.
