I'd love to laugh with you but Man Utd is not doing much better for now.
I'm all over NYCFC. I've never been that into the Red Bull just because I was more into the premiere league. Then this summer I saw Liverpool at Yankee Stadium and it was some experience, and I thought about going to games there all the time, and got super excited about NYCFC. I will definitely be a big City fan. Besides, Liverpool sucks this year so I need something to be psyched about in football.
Liverpool, NYCFC, and Deutsch Nationalmannschaft. My 3 teams.
So did NYCFC make out ok in the expansion draft? I'm reading they did great but I have no clue.
The roster as it stands right now:
Forwards:
David Villa
Patrick Mullins
Tony Taylor
Midfielders:
Frank Lampard
Andrew Jacobson
Josh Williams
Ned Grabavoy
Daniel Lovitz
Mehdi Ballouchy
Thomas McNamara
Sal Zizzo
Defenders:
Kwame Watson-Siriboe
Jeb Brovsky
Jason Hernandez
George John
Chris Wingert
Goalkeeper:
Josh Saunders
Any other fans choosing to support NYCFC?
I'm all over NYCFC too I just don't know MLS players. (Not that I know depth players around the world)
Although I did lead Fleetwood Town to the top of the EPL table in Fifa 14! If NYCFC signs David Ball I'll know a player on the team besides Villa and Lampard.
What do you think of the expansion draft? I keep reading they did great compared to Orlando but I have no clue.
Any rumors on who the 3rd DP will be?
I think they did well.
Grabavoy is a midfield veteran who is versatile enough to play a few different positions in midfield. Not really that great at anything, but does most things well and should be a productive player. Also played under Kreis at RSL.
Mullins was a rookie this season, and had a pretty good rookie season. Almost scored in MLS Cup. I was surprised he wasn't protected by New England. Good striker who had a good college career and has played well early in his MLS career.
John is a high upside pick. If he stays healthy, he could turn into the steal of the expansion draft. If healthy, he can be one of the best center backs in MLS, but he has a lot of trouble staying healthy.
I haven't seen much of McNamara but I hear he has some potential. Got injured early in the season and missed a lot of time.
Wingert is a solid veteran. Plays LB and does it well. Played for Kreis at RSL.
I'd be surprised if the rest of the players make much of an impact with NYCFC. Hope I helped.
Xavi has been the most rumored player, but he's sticking with Barcelona for now.
There have also been rumors of NYCFC wanting to get a US Mens National Team player. Jozy Altidore and Mix Diskerud have been the two main ones. Altidore's agent has said a return to MLS is unlikely. Diskerud is out of contract and could be looking at signing with an MLS club soon, but they don't seem to be the only MLS team interested in Diskerud.
It looks like they traded Sal Zizzo for a one year loan of goalkeeper Ryan Meara. From what I understand Meara can't start against the Red Bulls and Zizzo is not on loan from NYCFC. On the surface that seems like a strange move. I mean I couldn't tell Sal Zizzo from my next door neighbor but trading a guy for a one year loan seems a odd. Is that common?

Thanks for the info!
