For all media related posts regarding NYCFC for 2022! Once again hoping this thread will have concurring posts with the stadium thread about something big!
Maybe they don't want to commit until they see what they're getting? It's a financially reasonable move from Rangers. We might not like it, though.So, why a loan instead of a sale? Because it might lead to a better sale? Because Man City will buy him and then loan him?
Good question. I was thinking that it could be that the club is working with Sands to honor his wishes to play on a bigger stage, while the offers from various suitors are not yet to the club's satisfaction. And the hope is that success at Rangers will lead to an outright sale to them or more favorable deal to another impressed club.So, why a loan instead of a sale? Because it might lead to a better sale? Because Man City will buy him and then loan him?

I'm thinking it's because the club thinks they can get a higher fee for Sands.18 months is waaaay too long for "evaluation" at most a full season. I think they want to do this instead of buying because they cant or dont want to pay the fee. NYCFC might consider it since there may not be any other official bids coming in for Sands.

But they will loan him out instead of keeping him and playing him here to wait for that higher fee because Sands is already wanting to test himself in Europe and they want to do right by him.
Probably 18 months due to the difference in calendars. A 6-month loan sucks. A 12-month loan also sucks (half of one season and half of another).but agree to an 18 month loan? id agree if it was 6-12 months. 18 feels too long as an offer can come in a year and then nycfc cant sell because he still on loan with rangers.

i actually disagree on the 12 month time frame. It will be right after the WC, while sands doesnt have much chance to start those games. teams will be active in the January Window after the WC it would be good time to sell.
Right but for a team in Europe it makes no sense to do a 12-month loan right now. It's either 6 or 18
A good time to sell, sure, but from a performance perspective, a half of two different seasons sucks in getting settled into the roster, playing style, etc to make good judgments on.i actually disagree on the 12 month time frame.

A 12-month loan that results in any player not getting a full season with a team just sucks. I'd rather send him on a 12-month loan beginning in the summer.
