New York City FC's Claudio Reyna, Tim Pernetti discuss roster, jersey plans for 2014 and beyond NYCFC director of soccer operations Claudio Reyna outlined during a Q&A with fans on Thursday evening at a pub in Manhattan the various strategies the club would be using to build its roster, additionally revealing that the team could expect its first signings sooner rather than later: @creynanycfc: "We hope to have some signings this summer. No shortage of interest in players wanting to play in this city."Many of Reyna's other roster-related answers came as little surprise to those familiar with his team's affiliation with high-spending English outfit Manchester City FC. For example, there was head coach Jason Kreis' interest in several MCFC youngsters that NYCFC could potentially take on loan, and Reyna's assertion that the club would use all three available Designated Player spots as it looked to build a team: .@creynanycfc: "We are using our global scouting network to find people that play the way we want to play. We plan on using all 3 DP slots."However, Reyna also assured fans that despite its global reach in building a roster, the team would not neglect its own community when searching for talent: .@creynanycfc: "We'd love to have American players in our team. It's important that we eventually have New York City players in our team."www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2014/05/01/new-york-city-fc-bosses-claudio-reyna-tim-pernetti-discuss-roster-jersey-pla
