Salomon Kalou is going to be at the game tomorrow, he was linked to us a few months ago but there's no way we can afford him under a DP salary.

Also this:

Hearing Frank Lampard & Andrea Pirlo both expected to be at NYCFC-RBNY game tomorrow. Also expecting Gareth Bale & several European coaches.

I think this rivalry has the potential to be the first that sparks international interest in MLS. Especially if both teams continue to bring in big names. It's a shame tomorrow we'll only see David Villa. Villa, Pirlo, and Lampard vs Henry would have gotten tons of media attention for both teams.

Pirlo, Lampard, Khedira, Bale, "several European coaches" etc. attending
+ESPN and Sky Sports showing the game. Game scheduled early enough for European viewers.

Big stage to showcase the club, I just hope we put on a show.

The Yankees couldn't even afford these guys.

ETA: What other stadium or team would these guys show up for, seriously? Results be damned, we are the "it" team of MLS.

LA Galaxy perhaps?
I think it's more about the fact we are in NYC. Footballers aren't gonna go on holiday to Salt Lake City, Houston, Columbus or Denver.

That's true, but that leaves a couple questions.

1. How many of these players would show up if it was NYC vs. RSL?
2. What if it was NJRB vs. RSL?

My bet is not as many show up as for NY vs. NJ. But more show up to NYC vs. RSL than show up to NJ vs RSL. And also more than for any other games happening around the league.

Yes we have the NYC advantage. Let's bask in it.

If you talk to top European players there´s just three cities in USA.. New York, Los Angeles and Miami.

The Red Bulls fall into my first point, they aren't in NYC.
I think most would go to NYC vs RSL game at YS, but the 'derby factor' gives the game more interest I'm sure.

I am American...and I completely agree.

Maybe Chicago.... just Maybe

New Orleans? Las Vegas?

 

[franchise646]

New Orleans? Las Vegas?

Maybe but we don't know if they will get teams.

 

[FootyLovin]

New Orleans? Las Vegas?

Depends on the European. San Francisco may show on select radars as well.

 

[leilanikali420]

New Orleans? Las Vegas?

Those aren't cities, those are playgrounds.

I met Khedira at Wolfgangs Steakhouse a couple hours ago (it was him and 4 of the hottest girls I've ever seen). Asked him when he's coming to NYCFC and he said in a couple years.

Khedira = recruited.

Not sure, but seems reasonable Sami's on his way to Gramercy Tavern tonight. His table is just behind mine. As you'll see from the pic, there's a seat for him and room for his bitches on his lap and under the table.

Wasn't the Stalking Players thread some where else?

I post where I want. I'm the Poku of the board.

Miami???? Ewwwwwww...

 

[leilanikali420]

Miami???? Ewwwwwww...

If we have to pick a third, it easily beats out our other second and third tier cities.

Miami???? Ewwwwwww...

Miami hasn't been an American city for at least 25 years!!!

 

[Midas Mulligan]

Not for me. I'd take Austin, Frisco, Nola, hell, even Chicago.

Basically, Miami is on my "not live-able" list.

 

[BlueWarrior]

maybe we can go for adams valentin diomande- he is currently coached by non other than bob bradley… I am sure diomande wouldn't mind leaving norway to play with villa, pirlo, lampard and mix.
