I need to figure that one out too, I got a Mullins 14...I'm thinking of asking him on Snapchat what's up...
What the policy on wearing jerseys of players that left? 50% of my NYCFC jerseys are Mix.

I don't think anyone actually has a beef with Mix do they? Great guy, and gave it his all every time he suited up. Maybe just a little overpaid. IMO, a Mix jersey if he leaves is all good unless its a messy exit.

Are you sure it wasn't Wingert?Being that I saw a guy at the stadium the other day with a Wingert jersey, I think you should be good.
If true, we'll always have that first goal, Mix.
Maybe this is right. But I hate that i feel like he never got a good shake.Mix is a highly skilled player, but his skillset requires the right system and the right mix (npi) of players in order to thrive. When he was signed, we had pretty much a clean slate and he was the kind of guy that would have fit into a Jason Kreis system. Once we brought in Pirlo, we were never going to get maximum production out of Mix.
It's kind of frustrating, because I think Mix is probably the 4th most skilled player on the team (behind the DP's), not seeing him even on the bench and seeing Mikey Lopez keep getting minutes is just so hard to justify.
It appears the most value we can get out of Mix right now would be whatever we can get from a trade/sale.

But when Pirlo and Lampard are gone after this year/next year don't we want Mix on our roster?
No, we don't. Not for $760,000. We can find a much better replacement for that price. Now if Mix said he'd take a significant paycut...
With MLS being so secretive about contract details, it's tough to know what the contract details are, but i'm pretty sure Pirlo is under contract for next season (or at least has an option, which he might not take) and Mix is not.But when Pirlo and Lampard are gone after this year/next year don't we want Mix on our roster?
Mix does not hit the cap for $760,000 because he is not a DP and the max cap hit I believe is like $475,000. So we are using various mechanisms like TAM/GAM/DonBucks and such to pay his salary down. Still, combining everything he is very expensive.No, we don't. Not for $760,000. We can find a much better replacement for that price. Now if Mix said he'd take a significant paycut...
Don't think anyone dislikes Mix. And he's been a class act here and represented the team in a classy manner (Wish we could say that for some other players). But his cap hit is tremendous and he's not even starting. DP's only count $250k vs the cap. So Mix counts the same vs the cap as Pirlo, Villa, and Lamps combined! Not his fault he got paid so well. But if PV doesn't deem him a good fit as a starter (whether it's lack of talent or wrong skill set is irrelevant), then we need to cut bait ASAP. Because we can't field a competitive team with 21% of our cap (for 20 players) paid to one player who's healthy and can't crack our starting lineup.
