http://www.hudsonriverblue.com/2017/2/14/14606434/herrera-man-city-venezuela-new-york-city-loan More on Herrera. This article has him coming on loan, so not a DP. I guess we'll find out once the deal is done.
http://www.nycfc.com/post/2017/02/14/yangel-herrera-joins-new-york-city-fc-loan And now it's a done deal.
I have no idea who he is, but he's apparently a defensive midfielder, which makes me very happy. I am already confident in saying our team is stronger than last season. Or at the very least more well-rounded. Throw in a solid DP as well and we should make some noise this season.

Maxi confirmed. http://www.nycfc.com/post/2017/02/15/welcomemaxi-moralez-joins-nycfc-third-designated-player
I guess him coming on a non-dp contract was too good to be true. I wonder if not being able to shed Diskerud played any part in that? But I'm still pretty happy. A trident of Maxi-Villa-Harrison has the potential to be really fun to watch.
Totally agree; especially in light of the fact that it seems we're going to have to score plenty of goals this season to win our matches.
We did sign Callens, Gomez (made his move permanent) for the back line and Ring, Awuah are D-mids along with Herrera plus adding Sean Johnson to compete for the starting GK spot. I think people overlook these moves as they're not big name players aside from Johnson but I think they've improved the defense.
Beyond excited to be a part of @NYCFC! Thankful for this opportunity and I'm ready to give 100% for this club! #NYCFC pic.twitter.com/NuupROfu1G— Rodney Wallace (@rodwallace22) February 16, 2017
Wallace makes me believe even more that we are looking to build a back 5. He fits in perfectly as a wingback/defensive winger.
Commentary: Maxi Moralez? He could be NYCFC's Sebastian Giovinco The signing of Maxi Moralez as NYCFC's newest Designated Player may have come out of the blue, but it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to the club's fans.… mlssoccer

I like it. We didn't need another over the hill player like Yaya to have to shoehorn into the midfield. Villa Medina-Maxi-Harrison Ring-Herrera On paper, that looks like a lot of fun going forward.

Sebastien Ibeagha.......wonder if he is the young American CB they've been hinting at? Either way, the last line of the article mentions there's going to be one more signing before Saturday. https://nypost.com/2018/02/27/nycfc-get-even-deeper-with-addition-of-lockdown-defender/
