Not to stir things up, but to be fair it's a valid question. Maybe it could have been worded differently, but it does seem like the same folks who flipped out over the jersey being too MCFC are ok with us getting their leftover players.
Anyway, YaYa is a good player, even past his prime. I'd be for this is if it ends up being true.
I could believe this. Back in May when NYCFC had their meet and greet at legends, Claudio Reyna was asked if he could have any player as the leader for NYCFC. His answer was Yaya Toure, he spoke very highly of him and for good reason. Its not a confirmation but I wouldn't be surprised if Yaya ends up playing for NYCFC.
I'm looking at this as an MCFC fan, do you honestly think Yaya would come to NYCFC and try his hardest like Villa and Lampard will most likely do.
I have seen Yaya play like he needs a walking stick. I think his goal is the first player to be paid to play this new Walking Football the English FA are promoting for retired players.
I would be surprised to see Yaya go to you lads.
I have a feeling CFG would rather just sell him on.
I think it's better that City supply younger players if Kries wants them rather than ones at the end of their career.

Oh! and if I were you guys I wouldn't be bothered about having an inferiority complex, as I believe one day the MLS will be the biggets league in the world. May take 15 to 20 years, but it will happen.
I don't know if this is tongue in cheek or not, but there will come a point in time when MLS competes with Serie A, Ligue 1, the Turkish Super Lig and maybe a couple of others. There will just be too much money between 1) Television $, 2) Merchandise $, 3) Sponsorship $ and 4) Gate revenue for that not to be the case.
Serie A is falling apart. Barcelona and Real Madrid carry La Liga. I can't see a point in time where the EPL is threatened by MLS because of the ownership money. Chelsea will never compete with Sporting KC for talent.
But with the trajectory moneywise of MLS, you can argue this league is more stable longterm than Serie A. Would you rather be invested in the Portland Timbers or Chievo? Or LA Galaxy or Nantes?
But the EPL is on a different level.
There's no doubt and I see the MLS challenging with some of the bigger leagues in the near future. perhaps not for European talent as there's still a perception that Europe is the be all and end all, but perhaps with South American and Concacaf. That's when the MLS will hit the big time, when the Mexican, Costa Rican, Colombian etc talent come to the MLS. It's no doubt possible and I sort of see it happening ATM, see Valeri at the Timbers and. Morales at the Whitecaps.
What I mean is that most of the young talent or upcoming players come to the MLS. That way if they do go to Europe the MLS gets more money for transfer fees etc. ATM you mentioned like 4 players, that's not enough to consider the MLS challenging say Ligue 1.
Oh I added those names to support your examples of SA players who came to MLS.
Speaking of South America wouldn't be surprised to see a new CFG setup there soon. Africa as well and of course Kreis was in the Argentinian capital (hence his absence at the "reveal") scouting potential talent. Its not the first time he's looked at that country for talent either. Granted this only lead to a few first team appearances but it wouldn't be surprising to see an Argentinian in the lineup. Even if its not Zuculini who was talked about as a potential loanee (at least by fans)
