TBH MLS is an alright league and the NYC FC have a lot of potential. David Villa is a former World Cup champion with Spain in 2010... and if they follow his veteran leadership they could go places...
Soccer players technically bring to bring down around 31+ (But they are many freaks of nature: Zinedine Zidane, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Miroslav Klose, Cuauhtémoc Blanco is playing in his 40s in Mexico, Francesco Totti is playing in Italy at 38, and Rivaldo just retired at 41).
Blasting Salary caps is never good in any sport... Especially Futbol (Barcelona and Real Madrid are clear cut examples of this) they make the playing field unfair for other teams, unless your the one pointing the gun instead of being in front of it's barrel.
That being said I PERSONALLY AM NOT A BIG FAN of the MLS even though I am from NY myself... I rather watch the European Leagues any day of the WEEK (Mainly the Spanish League and the English Leagues). Their players are FAR more better to watch than MLS (not even an opinion... ITS A FACT).
BUT I still have many friends that can't wait to see the NYCFC play. They are excited what kind of Football they could bring.
As for Manchester City screwing over NYCFB? Well Yes and No. The COULD USE the team by bringing up and coming talent through the states first and having them sign later to Manchester City. But they have to be good enough to play in Europe for it's a different animal all together.

While true, I should explain why people such as myself follow and love MLS.
It's our league and we follow our club. I have no grand illusions that DC United is close to a Manchester United or Bayern Munchen, but it is mine. It is about standing and jumping and singing for our club. If you're concerned with the highest level, watch the UEFA Champion's League and nothing else. If you love the sport and seeing local club, happy to have anyone along, even if as a DC fan obligated to hope anything NY related crashes and burns.
