What exactly is a DP spot?

Players making above $387k a year are called designated players (DPs). Each team is currently only allowed 3. It's a cost control measure, and to ensure no team is able to really dominate everyone else. Right now the players union and the league are negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement, which is likely to allow teams to have 4-5 designated players.
 

I posted this on the preseason thread to respond to someone who put the tweet on. So I will also post it here where it belongs. It seems as if we're getting Shay Facey a CB from Man Citys u-20 team. He looks good and this will be a good pick up for us.

I cannot see that being a permanent move.

That link is Bs and they have no clue what they are talking about. Just throwing 3 clubs against the wall with no regard.

While NYCFC will have the opportunity to bring in up to four players on loan from Manchester City, there are no immediate plans for the 21-year-old Facey to join New York for the upcoming MLS season.

Facey, a Manchester native who plays both centrally and as a right back, is working on preseason fitness with NYCFC following an injury and is expected to return to the Manchester City EDS, according to a New York City FC spokesperson.

Again with De Rossi. Not saying it could never happen, but at least with Xavi you knew there was smoke. With De Rossi it was just a passing mention about moving to the US at some point
