Wow... Jason Kreis and his assistants Miles Joseph and CJ Brown have been sacked by NYCFC. Looks like we have an early runner for a new turnstile club!
Here's my take. If Kries was the one responsible for the DP moves, he deserves to be fired. Villa was good, he's the brightspot DP move. Brining on old Frank Lampard when you already had Diskerud was the first mistake. The second was by City's ownership who then kept Lampard in Manchester so he could ride the bench. If you wanted Mix, don't get Lampard, if you wanted Lampard don't get Mix. Those 2 moves together didn't make sense. Instead they could have gotten ALtidore as a striking partner for Villa or Kljestan as a more versatile midfielder (which is how they're using Mix but Mix isn't that type of player) gotten a winger in Farfan or a promising young central mid in Pelosi. Anyway just a waste. Imagine if you would they were the ones to go all out and get Villa and Giovinco instead of Villa and Lampard? ANy number of scenarios IMO work out to be better for NYCFC than getting Lampard. After that the real ****up happens and that's going full stupid and bringing in Pirlo. Pirlo is extremely talented, BUT he plays Serie A as a position who's job it basically is to be a passer and that's it. That doesn't exist in MLS because the league is so athletic driven. Without the talented players at the end of his passes who know the system Pirlo is basically worthless. Could be the worst DP signing since Rafa Marquez.
