Nice reserve squad of seasoned players if we get into trouble with injuries throughout the season.

That's not how this can work.

I'm.clearly.talking.to.myself.

Well there are no loaning out restrictions in the mls to outside leagues so any player on nycfc that is willing to go to city (that's what the mls rules stipulate) can join. I guess that sounds like "duh" but hold on...

Since city is the parent club it would seem logical that nycfc players could be de facto reserves as moving from the mls to a top premier league club that owns your club should be attractive and of course the coaches and training may be similar. Yes, that does not technically make them city players but if we wanted one nycfc player they developed or thought was premier league material it would seem an easy switch given the connections.

However, 4 city players can be loaned to nycfc which does make the team somewhat of a mini-reserves squad given the two clubs' relationship and no restrictions on loaning players out from the mls.

Oh and i read in the ny times today nycfc said villa will be loaned to another team later in the summer but not to city, for those wondering.

As I said before it will most likely be Melbourne as the guest player.

Report: Xavi Hernandez deal with NYCFC imminent

According to Barcelona paper Sport, Xavi Hernandez is deciding on his future while vacationing in Ibiza, but the very likely destination is new MLS franchise New York City FC.

The report says the offer on the table for the 34-year-old is for $24 million over three years, beginning in 2015.

Fellow Spaniard David Villa was announced as the first signing for NYCFC just over a month ago.

Xavi looked lost in Spain’s disappointing World Cup campaign, playing in their opening match – a 5-1 loss to the Netherlands – before being benched by coach Vicente del Bosque.

With 474 league appearances and 678 over all competitions, Xavi has spent his entire career with Barcelona, scoring 80 goals and assisting 153.

Loan in Jan for 6 weeks? Okay sure. Big fucking whoop.

If any of those 3 gets in the team then we have bigger issues.

Despite what people think the other 'City' clubs are not feeder clubs for MCFC.

I tell you what, that NYCFC is a master stroke.

Signing Fatso might not be . . .

British soccer star poised to join NY team once mocked Americans after 9/11 attacks

A British soccer star poised to ink a deal to play in New York City once got in trouble for mocking grieving Americans after the 9/11 attacks.
Frank Lampard, 36, is reportedly in negotiations to join the New York City FC Major League Soccer team, which is owned by the Yankees and the Premier League champion Manchester City.
“We don’t comment on signing rumors,” said team spokeswoman Risa Heller.
In 2001, Lampard was among four British players who mocked American tourists stranded at a hotel near Heathrow Airport because of the Sept. 11 attacks.
Just 24 hours after the tragedy, Lampard and his Chelsea teammates drunkenly stripped, swore and vomited in front of the upset U.S. tourists.
He and his mates were fined by the club.

As per my thread a little while back (disappeared when site changed):

Barcelona are expected to announce that club legend Xavi Hernandez will finally be leaving them after 23 years service.

The club captain has negotiated a settlement on the two years left on his contract leaving the way clear for him to join Manchester City’s MLS franchise New York City.

The club captain who turned up at the Camp Nou as a hopeful 11-year-old and went on to play a record 723 matches for them, winning 22 trophies leaves the club after 16 seasons with the first team.

Barca fans have feared the confirmation of Xavi’s departure for weeks and with this Thursday set as the date for his return to training finally confirmation is imminent.

Although Manchester City’s new MLS side New York City looks like being his new destination that will still give him a year to fill ahead of their big kick-off in 2015.

The confirmation of his departure, expected from the club on Tuesday, means that when Barcelona jet into England on Monday to spend a week at the FA’s St. George’s Park they will do so without one of the most important players in their history – the player who led them to three of their four European Cup triumphs.

Xavi is expected to take part in a benefit game for Deco who retired last year on Friday. He will line up along side Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto'o and Leo Messi in a match between the Porto side that won the Champions Leage under Jose Mourinho in 2004 and the Barcelona side that won it in 2006 in Portugal on Friday

Sources say Lamps is done and will be announced tomorrow

New York City FC are set to unveil their latest player acquisition, and they're doing so at one of the city's most iconic spots.

NYCFC announced on Wednesday that a “major new signing” will be revealed at a soccer field on Pier 5 at Brooklyn Bridge Park, with a clinic for 40 local children to follow. The live stream of the event will be carried by MLSsoccer.com here.

Head coach Jason Kreis and Claudio Reyna, the 2015 MLS expansion club's sporting director, will lead the ceremonies, which kick off at 10:30 am ET.

NYCFC previously announced the signing of Spanish international David Villa, as well as MLS veterans Jeb Brovsky and Josh Saunders, all of whom have gone out to other clubs on loan ahead of next season.

Media reports have recently linked the ambitious MLS newcomers with several global stars, including Spanish midfielder Xavi, Englishman Frank Lampard and Italian striker Alberto Gilardino.
