As for a new contract, Wright-Phillips made it clear to BigAppleSoccer.com that he'd like to extend his stay in New York for the long-term.
“Of course, I like it here,” Wright-Phillips said.

Is there any in this rout with authority to treat with me? Or indeed with wit to understand me?
Lock 'em up
I like BWP, he's a nice guy, I hope he stays. If it is for non-DP max, that's fine. If it is for low-level DP money (which is essentially the same cap hit, just that we couldn't have an actual 3rd DP), I'd live with that too, as long as they busted their ass to find the right player for the other DP slot. Maybe they splash the cash a bit and spend $ 1m/year on Cubo Torres, who made $ 180k last year but had a great year and is now fielding offers from Mexico which have to be pretty decent in nature. He's 21, has played in MLS, and has a lot of upside. Granted, he's a FWD and maybe doesn't really fit our scheme, but, he's also a special player and I'd be interested.
If Cubo and BWP can recreate the all-star goal with any sort of regularity, it'll be money very, very well spent, assuming you meant getting Cubo to play with BWP instead of replacing him. What's the latest word on Cubo's situation? Weren't they trying to keep him in LA?
Yeah, I essentially meant playing Cubo either alongside BWP in a 4-4-2 or in TH14's role as kind of a roving MF/F in a 4-2-3-1 alongside Peguy & Sam.
My basic assumption for 2015 is that we end up in a 4-4-2 with Cahill & BWP up top, or we stick with the 4-2-3-1 and Cahill replaces TH14, because we've made no other signings and are in full "wait until the summer transfer window..." mode. During which we'll sign no one just like last year, and be right back here in 4th-5th place next off-season.
What I would really like, however, is that 4-2-3-1 with Cubo. I don't know the latest with his contract, but I wouldn't not be surprised at all to see him taking LD's DP spot and getting $1m a year to stay in MLS and play for Los Angeles.
That said, if I really had to guess, he takes $2m a year and plays either for the other Chivas, or Club America, etc in LigaMX.
a 4-4-2 with Cahill and BWP up top is a disaster and 15 steps in the wrong direction
if that happens, we're so fucked. It'll be a return to those awesome games where we have nothing going on in the middle of the field and we hit 40 aimless crosses per game that are easily caught by the opposing keeper. I guess something will be going in the middle of the field: their team constantly charging through it.
What they should do, but won't: sell Cahill, pay BWP what he wants, bring in a LM to challenge Oyongo, sign a 10 (Valeri-esque) who can feed BWP.
We won't lose a step.
