Palmer-Brown has a ton of potential – he could end up being really good. But there's no doubt he's going out on loan. This is similar to the gambit Matt Miazga took after the 2015 season, when he signed off on a transfer from RBNY to Chelsea for $5 million. He made two appearances for the Blues in the spring of 2016 and has spent the bulk of the last 15 months on loan with Vitesse Arnhem of the Eredivisie...

If he excels – and he's definitely good enough to do so – then perhaps he'll end up scoring himself a loan to Girona for 2018/19, or maybe 2019/20. And if that goes well, then maybe he'll end up, one day, wearing Sky Blue and playing at the City of Manchester Stadium.


They speculate NAC Breda with Angelino.

He could make it, but higher chance of not. Either way not so sure Mooy is really the right comparison and I actually think some of us are too dismissive of our "lesser" signings as just cash makers. I think there is overwhelmingly the case, with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions I can think of that there is some feeling these players could make the team.


What sort of player is he Prez ??

Is he a Pep style ball playing centre back (from the linked article where it described him playing in midfield, I'm surmising this is the case), or is he a tough tackling, no-nonsense, non-Pep style defender (which I wouldn't mind if he were) and what's he like with the ball in the air ??


TBH, Mikhail, don't watch too much MLS other than the occasional NYCFC match, but as far as I understand he is more of a ball playing type of centre half, and top USA prospect, who is athletic/physical enough (he's 6' 1"), has a decent first touch, some passing ability, and is the current captain for the USA U-20s where he won the Golden Ball in the CONCACAF U-20's Championship (as I see some have alluded to).

The more I am learning about him the more I can see why we signed him as a potential CB for the first team in the coming seasons, not just someone to earn profits for CFG, which is clearly another option.

USA fans are pretty excited about him as there is a LONG thread that was started in 2014 on the Big Soccer forum (my go to for USA player info) when Sporting KC reportedly turned down multiple offers from Juventus, one at least $1m, for him. He ended up going on loan to Porto for the 2nd half of the 2015-2016 season, whilst MLS was in their close season, and played some games for the Porto "B" team where he was allegedly the "main standout" in their academy.

Here's an interview with him after he came back from being on loan at Porto last season where he comes across as quite a bright young man, apparently currently studying psychology at the university level, saying he is interested in being a sports psychologist after his football career:

The most recent video I can find of his skills is before he went to Porto in February 2016:

Interesting Prez.
You both then see why

Apologies not needed I'd think.

Anger is a normal emotion.

Yet, sure would be some kind of phenomenon though to meet a black redneck given that melanin thing, no?

Prez, man... You know I am the infamous language struggler.
am sorry as the line among brackets came along as too cryptic.

1. "unintelligible language"
2. "ACID QUEEN"
3. "never once fails to turn a football thread into a himseelf thread"
4. "thumbs stalker often resulting in repetitive thumb strain"

Swales4ever no apology needed I was just curious.

PrezIke I have a relative that thinks he's a black redneck. We give him shit all of the time at family gatherings.

So excited about this signing!


He can't play for NYCFC even on loan. Sporting KC still own his rights in MLS.


How is that even possible if we signed him (couldn't be arsed to check if this bullshit deal actually went through)? Bonkers


So the league structre for MLS is different. CFG does not own NYCFC they own shares in the league and are investors - operators of NYCFC. All player contracts are with the league and not the individual teams. So if MCFC where to loan him they would be loaning him back to the league. Under MLS roster rules if a player transfers to a team outside of the league the team he left retains his rights. So when he comes back to the league he has to play for that team.


You learn something new every day! Thanks mate, it's appreciated!
