That's where I got my s/f from.

Think we need to see the full context. The impression I have from reading the commentary is that we can expect some more players in short order, and then EDS loans would be at the back end, if necessary. I prefer that.
Ugh. Yeah, why would a new acquisition need a preseason to get comfortable with his new team?
How are we going to improve our center back situation??? We can't honestly be relying on Ethan White, can we?
Maybe they're not really relying on EDS loanees, especially not on defense.

That could be right. Maybe more Faceys and fewer Angelinos.seems like they are planning to not have any loanees as starters so unlikely to get the most talentedones that could make the MC first team like barker as they would want them to go somewhere they would start, but i could see 1 of the older eds players joining on loan like glendon who are very unlikely to make it at MC but could become perminant at NYCFC if they are a good fit.
How would you think about him fitting in to the team? RB and LB feels crowded if you assume that Matarrita and Martinez will, between the two of them, hold down LB (I say this knowing very little about Martinez -- perhaps he isn't ready to be a back-up LB yet, but I assume that's what they got him for) and Iraola and Allen take the right.There is one player that has slipped my mind and maybe a useful addition to NYCFC. That is Ash Smith Brown. He is 20 and played for England at every youth level up to and including the Under 20 team. He is primarily a full back who can play on the right or left, but has also played in midfield.
I think he needs to try and play at a higher level than the EDS. So if PV wanted to bring someone over, he may be an ideal squad player. At the moment though, I think PV wants to concentrate on recruiting players permanently for the club.

Could Brown play wide in the midfield? That is still a real need I think, particularly now that reality has set in and Harrison isn't going to be lighting the world on fire from day one.
Thanks for the insight.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm interested in anyone who can hold, and particularly if he can do a bunch of other things too. Sounds interesting.I would say he would be better suited to holding midfielder.
However, it's always possible he could play wide right. The fact he plays full back shows he can play in a wide position. Although, I would say it may give PV the opportunity to play Iraola wide right.
That could be right. Maybe more Faceys and fewer Angelinos.
I also imagine that part of that comment is around branding as the team tries to shed the "farm club" label. I only put so much stock into it.
Correct on one aspect, the comments from MCFC. However, from other places its going to shout farm club. Not that we care but it might have something to do with the decisions Vieira has made. He himself said he wants to build a team that's going to stay and not have constant turnover from EDS.The comments i've seen seem to suggest the opposite ie: singing the praises of how Angelino developed after a year in MLS.
