Great signing for NYC FC.
and it begins
Great signing. I'm excited to see what other DPs they bring in. 2015 should be a fun year with NYCFC's lineup and Orlando with Kaka and potentially Robinho joining.
Walms beat me to it but im wondering who is going to be the first Man City player

Fuck. He is not my type of player. But fuck world class no fucking doubt.
He'll tear this league a Defoe.
^ Yes, I am with you. If we can get some decent money for both, I am all for it, I love what kaka did for us, in the past, but bringing him back was one of the many mistakes they made this season.
so will he be on loan to Man city from July to December?
I'm surprised by the Villa news but it's good. Provides a bit of counterpoint to the farm team issue. I thought for sure one of the out of contract or released MCFC players would be the first for NYCFC to sign.
Why not loan him to an MLS team?

I don't believe this. I wonder what he'll think of playing in Yankees stadium for 3 years. Just a rumour I think.

Apparently Villa has signed with NYCFC with Lampard
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

Lampard and Villa!!!??? Makes Defoe and Bradley feel like 'okay' signings lol
I'd still rather have Defoe and Bradley, but those are two good signings.
I'd rather have Defoe and Bradley at this stage of their careers, but Villa and Lampard would be phenomenal acquisitions for NYCFC and MLS.
to bad NYC play in Yankee stadium, will be UGLY!!!! they should of not let NYC join the league till they get construction at least started on the new stadium until they join MLS. Hell Atlanta doesn't join until 2018 I believe? should of done same with NYC, instead they play a minimum 3 years, but could be 5 or 6 or who knows when at Yankee stadium.

I love when the league adds this type of quality. We made a big splash this pass offseason but I like that NYCFC is trying to one up us. Hope Orlando adds in some top quality as well.
bradley is way better than lampard at this stage in his career and defoe fits MLS perfectly. Villa is world class but you can tell the guy is slowing down and not sure his style of play will suit MLS like it does for Defoe.
Villa was officially announced this morning. Exciting for the league!
