As in, while they continue to look for a place for him to find playing time? Or, as in, to join the team because they were unable to find a place for him to find playing time and CFG is unwilling to cut and pay?

Failure.

With the recent announcement of our new affiliate, do you think we can send Mix there on loan so he can get playing time and possibly work his way back, or more likely become fit and ready to be shipped off somewhere else? Seems like a smart move if it works out

Edit: Do loaned players to affiliates count against the cap?

I believe it's all rumor. Read the first paragraph and then their site just crashed my phone.

Mix would have to agree to it. If the USL team doesn't absorb the salary as a true loan, then it's still a hit against the Cap; they could absorb a portion, which would come off our books, but they likely don't have the capital to foot the entire wage bill.

I think instead he's going to be training in Purchase this year....

No, let's keep him here. We're short on CBs.

Seriously! He misses one game and he's being thrown out.

Thanks man, I appreciate it!

Considering you have intimate knowledge of the front offices thinking, you saying that they haven't thought of this idea yet, and that you think they can be influenced via tweet is the most damning indictment of their skills and competence.

You're better than that. Why don't you try that again

Not sure if you are reading that as an insult against you, its not.

Alright

I asked on Twitter if the loan to San Antonio could be a thing

A bit odd to me that we just got out to Arizona today. Day off for the guys. First match 02/18. So just 5 days training (if they don't get a day off before the game).

Isn't our first game on Wednesday the 15th against the NJRB?

Not too odd imo. During the season we often travel to our Saturday opponent on Thursday and sometimes even Friday. We've been training elsewhere, the only problem is the jetlag which won't be a problem in a couple days.
