Leaving it late ⏰: David Lee takes his sweet, sweet time when it comes to signing players in the primary transfer window. Here are 5 things you should know about when the NYCFC sporting director signs players ⬇️ hudsonriverblue.com/leaving-it-lat…

Interview with new Brooklyn FC sporting director Kevin Tenjo On his new role, what he's learned while navigating various parts of the New York soccer landscape, what he hopes to create in Brooklyn, and how he’ll approach building BK’s first men's team ⤵️ hudsonriverblue.com/brooklyn-fc-sp…

Word is multiple Croatian clubs are interested in @Mounserbakrar More here in the New York City FC Transfer Tracker: hudsonriverblue.com/new-york-city-…

@LUGO_RIVERA Today was his biggest chance yet, first 2 sub appearances were short. He was solid but a little ill-disciplined at times, could have gotten sent off second half, but 71 minutes + clean sheet kept + ultimately a St. Pauli win, so hopefully he continues to get starter minutes

@HudsonRiverBlue How has he done in his limited action? I remember following his run in Scotland and the fans in the comments weren’t that thrilled.

James Sands makes his first Bundesliga start for FC St. Pauli today in a big game for them, away vs FC Heidenheim with both teams having 14 points and sitting just outside the relegation places. Sands has entered as a late sub (21 combined minutes) in St. Pauli’s last 2 games

Not a current NYCFC rumor but a past target revealed? Below report about 24-year-old Peruvian right back Jhilmar Lora of Sporting Cristal, currently a rumored transfer target of Bahia and DC United, claims City Football Group also tried to sign him for NYCFC in June 2024

If you wanted to read a brief/mostly coherent explanation of all the newly announced MLS rule changes and what they might mean for how teams handle their rosters, we’ve got that hudsonriverblue.com/2025-mls-roste…

Jovan did not travel with #NYCFC to California for preseason camp as his difficult spell with the club continues Amidst swirling rumors of loans back to a European side, @mark_radigan and I break down the latest for the young talent on @HRBPod

Matt Freese just lets Poch score here to help his chances of getting USMNT minutes, it’s all part of the long game (from Pochettino’s IG Stories)

🔵 NYCFC club-record signing Jovan Mijatovic is not with the team in preseason. Club says training stint in Europe. 🇷🇸 Mijatovic said "I'm waiting for a lot in Europe right now" in terms of possible departure (h/t @HudsonRiverBlue) ... and said he wished he stayed at Red Star

The NYCFC preseason roster is out, with 34 players going west to prep for the 2025 season The roster’s notable for who it includes (3/5 SuperDraft picks, Homegrowns, Academy talents) and who it doesn’t include (2 players linked with outgoing transfers) hudsonriverblue.com/new-york-city-…

“Forward Jovan Mijatović is currently in Europe completing a training stint,” that’s definitely one way to put it… hudsonriverblue.com/jovan-mijatovi…

@Assassi80518554 This image should be framed and on display in the new stadium in 2027

@HudsonRiverBlue I have absolutely no memory of Iraola playing for NYCFC. 😯

Screenshot fails to include that all these guys were being coached by Patrick Vieira + that the biggest MLS legend featured in the screenshot is the least famous one (still miss Tommy Mac)

New faces in new places. 👀

The beautiful game
