Official (random Player Name) To Nycfc Rumor Thread

[Jack]

Hey, Gareth Bale's summer just opened up. Let's be honest, what's Wales going to do? Not call him up?

(before any of you reply and tell me why this won't happen, please take a moment to consider that I'm a smart-ass)

(I hear CR7 is moving too...)

Let's talk defense. Here's a list of players I think could slot in immediately

Matthew 'Matt' Mills
28 year old CB
Plays for Bolton in the English championship. By no means a world beater but he would be a solid experienced addition. He was signed with City for a few years and maybe he's willing to try a new league for w change.

Brede Hangeland
33 year old CB
Plays fors Crystal Palace in the Premier League
Born in Houston, Texas with 89 caps for the Norweigan national team. A little older but he's healthy and experienced so why not?

Stefan Strandberg
24 year old CB
Plays for Rosenborg in Norway (Mix's old team)
Could be nice to have someone who has played with Mix on the field working with him. With Mix being played as a CDM it would be a great pairing for years to come.

All of them are available on free transfers this summer.

Hangeland would be sweet, Non international spot used and a great defensive leader who is solid in the air. Can't imagine him coming for any less than 300 k a year.

I think we can get him for a non DP spot with allocation money.

We can but we won't.

 

[tigerstrom29]

Hangeland would be a great signing! Over 200 games in The Premiership and 91 caps for Norway. He could really teach our defenders how to do the work!

Didn't we just talk about this last week?
Anyways I'm sure that great German-American rather stay at Reading or maybe a EPL before he comes here.

You probably did. I'm not in this massive thread often enough to know.

I just read an article on mlssoccer.com and came over to pose the same question. In the same article they mentioned a couple of other guys..........Zak Whitbread and Heath Pearce. I'm still relatively new to this, so are any of these guys worth a shot?

Heath Pearce is not much of an improvement if at all compared to our current backline. He was decent a few years back with Chivas but as soon as he got to Redbulls, he had a few good games and then came crashing down, and cared mored about his wannabe modeling career.

Another defender from South America to sit on our bench.
Why are we going for quantity over quality?

Don't be so dramatic, let's hope Reyna/Kreis get it right this time

 

[The Toe]

Just a thought. I know he's older, but Dimitar Berbatov's contract is up in June.

Seriously? Without even a name to go by? We need to relax a bit...

He spent an awful lot of time at Fulham standing around, waiting for service. These days he only seems to come to life against his old clubs, none of which he's likely to encounter stateside.

Let someone else pick him up...

I figure it's David Luiz. He's almost bad enough. #cfgscoutingnetwork

Isn't the transfer window closed as of about a day ago. Seeing how badly we need a defender aren't they a little late on this? Is there a way to sign a player before the window reopens in July?

 

[NYCFC_Dan]

Nope, pretty sure we're stuck with what we have till next window.

 

[gbservis]

Between transfer window being closed and his horrible "sources" in the past (see link) I'm pretty sure Nick Chavez just makes stuff up.

Well if he makes the bench that'll be further than Andres Mendoza ever made it with this team. So disappointed in how things went with him.

Good to hear but let's wait and see.
