Typically the soccer world opens up the new year with the transfer window, it’s the best time for teams to make some wild signings. In the MLS, the off-season is about half way done, but there’s still some signings to be made.
For Patrick Vieira and NYCFC, they’ve made some acquisitions after the signings of goalkeeper Sean Johnson and striker Sean Okoli. While these are supposedly big signings, they’re non comparable to the future Designated Player signing that NYCFC will make.
With a DP spot open, all the big names are coming into the conversation. Iker Casillas, Fernando Torres, Bastian Schweinstager and many more, but all of those names seem very unlikely to join.
