Nycfc Signs Mix Diskerud

[JGriff217]

To add more to the quality of this signing, I think it's a great marketing/PR decision outside of just soccer. He's obviously a solid player, but this will create a bridge for a lot of USMNT soccer fans. US Soccer picked up a ton of momentum from the World Cup this past summer, but the next few years will be a "changing of the guard period" for the USMNT. This will be the young guns' time to shine with Landon and Timmy definitely gone, and maybe even Clint and Jozy gone by the next World Cup. Mix could potentially be a face for the US in the coming years.

Mix is already a face and name that people recognize and he should draw a lot of attention to NYCFC, not just in NYC, but around the country. From a USMNT stand point, May 3rd's home game against Seattle is a GOLD MINE. Game will be broadcasted on Fox Sports 1 and it's directly in between the USMNT's games against Mexico (April 15th) and the Netherlands (June 5th). Let's party!

Other than the RB games, that game against Seattle is going THE game of the season.

Clearly, this is a great day to be a supporter. Reading everyone's reactions on this board has gotten me as excited about the coming season as the signing itself. Welcome to NYC, Mix.

It's huge that he wasn't signed as a DP,we aren't done signing yet!

The YANKEES just emailed about Mix.

It said USMNT player Mix Diskerud signs with NYCFC, tickets on sale.

It was just the e-mail version of this

No time wasted I dare say.

Mix and NYCFC just got a shout during halftime on the Fox sports 1 broadcast of the Everton vs West Ham game.

We're getting positive press guys. We did it!

Why do I now feel like that Penn Station billboard is some kind of NYCFC kiss of death/jinx. Can we please advertise anywhere else in the city without a Lampard connection?

David Villa was the first ad on that board.

So pumped that this signing actually happened! Adding a USMNT player, and a player who may very well be in the starting XI no less, is huge. You can't understate that.

THIS IS AWESOME NEWS!!! Wow! Plus non-dp….and mls might add another dp slot. good god we can have an awesome team.


right now, if we sign Roldan in the draft, for opening day Id like to see


Mullins---------Villa--------Roldan
-----------------Mix-----------------
---------Jacobson-----Grabavoy----
Wingert----------------------------Brovsky
-------------John------Mendoza-----------
-----------------Meara---------------------


Later on in the season when lamps comes we could see

------Mullins-----------Villa----------------Roldan-----
-------------------------Lampard-----------------------
---------------Mix-------------------Jacobson----------
-Wingert--------------------------------------------Brovsky-
---------------John-----------------Mendoza---------------
--------------------------Meara---------------------------------

And that is without 1-2 more dos……that is an enticing team capable of winning.

I don't think we will run a 4-3-3, and I don't think Roldan would start over Mcnamara and velasquez. And Joh nis injured to start the season.

Apologies for being away for a while, for obvious reasons... Just thought I'd pop back on and hopefully frequent here more often again. What a signing, he's been linked for months, maybe over a year! He could be our USMNT icon!

 

[Andy]

Very interesting.. Of course players like Villa and Lampard can deliver yet but Mix!, if we´re lucky there might be a kind of dynasty built around him if (big if) he takes another step forward as a player..

No time wasted I dare say.

You don't get that in Columbus

I see it more like this:

-------------------Villa---------------Mullins
-------------------------------Mix
-------------Grabavoy------------------Calle
----------------------------Jacobson
-----Brovsky-----------------------------------Williams
------------------Hernandez-----Mendoza
------------------------------Meara

After July:

---------------------Villa------------DP 3
---------------------------Lampard
-----------------Mix----------------------Calle (or Lampard and Mix the other way around)
----------------------------Jacobson
-----Brovsky-----------------------------------Williams
------------------Hernandez-----Mendoza (John for Hernandez when fit)
------------------------------Meara

Has the length of contract been seen anywhere?
