Theres no loan to "get". He is a free agent this winter. But his salary demands would probably put him over the DP amount.
if diskerud is a DP, then we wouldn't have to use the top allocation spot on him. Unless the rules changed again. That is why im thinking he wouldn't be a DP.
That would mean when it comes to next season we would have first dibs on him.
Someone feel free to correct me if im mistaken.

And according to this blog http://blog.fieldoo.com/2014/08/norwegian-tippeligaen-review/
The average salary of a player in norway is 90 thousand euro which is roughly 115 thousand dollars. If true, then why would he be a dp.

I'd love to see Diskerud in NYCFC. Having watched him for a while in Norway now I'm positive he'll do good. Hopefully he won't be a DP though.
USMNT players or returning MLS players go through allocation UNLESS they are above a certain threshold. Bradley and Dempsey were above the certain threshold, so no allocation. Sounders' Pappa wasn't so Seattle used a allocation. We don't know where Mix would rank.
Mix Diskerud's current value is around 1.5m Euros so I would assume his salary demands would be around DP level.
I'd be very surprised if Mix was not a DP. You're talking about a guy most likely giving up his European dreams to come to MLS. He's definitely going to ask for a chunk of change for that to happen.
I remember Kasey Keller talking about this in one of the World Cup panels they had for ESPN. I'm going off memory but he basically said that Mix likely feels that if he leaves Europe now then that will be the end of his hope of one day playing in a high profile league. Which is why he was hesitant the last time there were MLS teams interested.

His current salary is under DP wages. He'll probably want a raise, but DP salary min will rise as well.
I feel pretty good that the reason we got that allocation spot was for him. There's no one else it could be, unless it's a Danny Williams type (who also would be a great MLS player, or a good player in any league if he could stay healthy). I think most of the other possible "returning" players are either in the primes of their careers and would require a salary above the "certain threshold" OR too young and still working their way through/gaining experience. And there's always the 3rd choice, old and inexperienced with little talent. Lots of Yanks abroad that can fill that role.
Please don't let them use on Brek Shea. Please, please, please.

Hopefully the Yankees/Cashman don't have any say in who we pick then...
Ok - here it is. The way out there never going to happen sports movie rivalry transfer scenario:
Thierry Henry does not retire this season. Instead, he plays one more year in MLS, is picked up by NYCFC after the contract with RBNJ expires, and wins his first and only MLS Cup in 2015.
C'est isi New York City!

Miguel Ibarra- new yorker playing in the USL as a winger. He is getting called up by Klinsman,
*NASL actually, Minnesota
And apparently he's on a long term deal. So he would cost a transfer fee. Not that it would stop us if we wanted him.
Dan Kennedy GK. I wish they hadn't traded Mauro Rosales. He looks like a cross between Cavani and Falcao.
I believe Portland has his rights. Someone tried signing him but failed. I think it was Portland and they still hold discovery rights, but who knows with MLS.
I think Joe Gyau would be perfect for this squad. Villa on the left, Nacho up top and Gyau on the right.
I think it was the Red Bulls. They didn't want to Minnesota a transfer fee.
