Frank Lampard and David Villa joins MLS(New York City FC)

[RagaZ]

Good for ya New York lads.

David Villa just played in the CL final and Lampard is the Chelsea GOAT.

You can finally see some good footballers in the U.S.

so whats the situation with that team.. it doesnt say much on wiki except that they were founded one year ago.. have they played any matches so far? are they going to buy random players from all over the world and try to fit them together?

They are owned by Man City.

It's their feeder club.

Lampard and Villa will probably go to Man City on loan when the MLS season ends in january(or february).

They are still gonna get crushed by teams built around young Americans and unknown South Americans like RSL or Dynamos though.

This.

I can see NYC getting killed.

city are stacked why would they need those old men? i could see the other way happening.. city loaning some of their young players to nyc for playing time.. rodwell, lopes, nastasic.. etc.. enough to murder anyone in the mls

Experience, squad depth.

Both Lampard and Villa can still get you vital goals.

Villa is still a good player who contributed significantly to Athletico's first league title, not just some 'old man' smh

If people would realize, MLS is a good league and perhaps Villa wants to get tested.

Villa is only 32 brother. Far from ancient...

Villa is only 32 brother. Far from ancient...

32 can be pretty old for football.. especially if you had a major injury in the past few years (check) and if your main weapon was pace in your prime (check)..

he is still good enough to toy with anyone in the MLS though no doubt

They are going to be an expansion team next Spring when the 2015 MLS season starts. So from August-January 2014 both will be free to be loaned out to what ever squads they want.

And no they won't get random players as most of their players will actually come from the MLS in the expansion draft.

Can't wait for Landy, Robbie, Juninho & AJDLG to own these fruits

I am going to agree.

People will make an excuse on how washed up and old these guys are but the fact of the matter is, a lot of players from MLS would shit on them.

Welcome to America.

[Shade8780]

Drogba is the Chelsea GOAT doe

No way. Lampard is the GOAT with Zola at 2nd.

Anyway, I hope Frank retires at NYC if he's not coming back to Chelsea. Don't want him going to any club in England, or even Europe.
