the way it could work is that villa plays as a guest, lampard as full season marquee and bresciano/kennedy as strayan marquee.

Loan wages only count in the cap if the club who has the player on loan is required to pay the wages by the loaning club. NYCFC could well be (and likely are) loaning Villa for the grand total of $0.
