Fuck that. If we have an option for a younger player that has something of a name and can actually stick around for a few years and make something happen for us then I'd take that over a publicity stunt any day.

Man, I'm trying to keep an open mind and turn over a new leaf, gilded with positivity and hope. Then again, it could just be my hangover.
I'm into Gomez. He's a tall powerful finisher. I always liked him. I don't care that he's had injuries either, cause it's the same risk as a 37 year player but with greater reward.
Getting anyone decent up top to take attention away from villa works be like getting 2 DPs. Villa can't operate with three defenders hanging on him.
Not changing tune. Still hopeful. Pirlo is a master.
But also realistic as rumor mill seems to be moving. And for those suggesting Gomez now, I do like the idea of a target striker who won't tackle our DP1 when he is trying to score.
Younger and more attacking ? Chichirito cross anyone's mind ?
I would love Pirlo just for the sake of him being Pirlo but now that I've been given time to think about it, I think a younger Striker could be a much better signing for the team.
Teams know that Nemec is actually incapable of scoring goals, so they can put all of the attention on Villa.
If we were to sign another striker, they couldn't do that anymore, and I think you would start to see Villa scoring more.

With Pirlo we would never start Nemec. He is an outlet for a team that doesn't know how to pass forward or into space. With Pirlo we would start Shelton or Mullins and use speed rather than target. The value to Villa would be the same. Both would free him up significantly. Imagine Villa Lampard and Shelton all being free to streak into space with Pirlo delivering pinpoint accurate passes to those spaces.
Lots of ways to improve.

Probably the most ridiculous thing I've seen all year was that Nemec play lol.
Probably not my thinking being that he's proven not quite good enough to start at the Reals, manchesters etc of the world despite how good he is. Of course he could probably star at a tottenham or a Valencia or somewhere which would still likely be more enticing than MLS but he is North American... I'd put him and pirlo about equal in what they'd bring to us this season in entirely different manners. Chichirito being more of a potential long term option.
It sucks that all along they were really targeting Vietnamese national team player Earl Pho.
Mario Gomez > Nemec. I can get be happy with that. Still not exactly what we need but I won't say no.
that would be awesome to get mario Gomez…such an awesome finisher. But honestly, we are prob most likely to get berbatov.
For Tuttosport Pirlo is a NYCFC player !!!!

I'll post the same thing I posted in the other thread.
Not sure how reliable this is (since it's not verified) or how accurate it is. But…
