He said he was on a family vaction in italyHmmm... What players could he have possibly met in Rome?
Sure sounded like Mix to me, Mix has the perfect playing style for NYCFC's plans, more so than any other available USMNT, great to see they would bring him back as a non DP, maybe pay him in the $300K-$400K range. Mix plus three DP's is a great startHinted at getting a US international through allocation order if they get #1 status....Mix?
So we have Villa as a DP. Might have Mix as a not DP and there are rumors Lampard is not a DP. I'm assuming that at least one of Mix or Lampard has to be a DP but for fantasy's sake the notion that we could have Villa, Lampard, and Mix with two DP spots + whatever MCFC Academy folk would make for an insanely strong team.
I think that would be to good to be true..
Even if Lampard or Mix (Diskerud) are a DP it's would still leave for a very strong starting squad. Mixed with some of the youth from MCFC (hopefully some like Devante Cole or Jordi Hiwula) and everything looks very promise.I think that would be to good to be true..
Can you explain this? I always thought that DP's skipped the allocationMix could still be a DP player even if he's in the allocation. Only specially designated DP players are exempt.
I dont see lampard being a non-dp but my thought process is Mix can be had for say $500K which would be more than DP salary hit but not far over it enough to us the DP spot. I am counting a higher cap this year around $4M and even if we get mix for say $500K plus three DP's thats only about $1.6M which leaves $2.4M for the remaining 16 players which is plenty , avg of $150K per player. We are a bit behind the 8 ball with no homegrown players prospects for many years to come and no allocation money to buy down the DP cap hits. Hopefully MLS gives us some sort of cap benefit until our academy is more established. As a bit of a front office nerd, I cant wait until we start getting some CBA informationEven if Lampard or Mix (Diskerud) are a DP it's would still leave for a very strong starting squad. Mixed with some of the youth from MCFC (hopefully some like Devante Cole or Jordi Hiwula) and everything looks very promise.
The future is blue, white and orange!
MLS will do what it wants to get ahead. They want the allocation order but they also want guys like Henry and Villa and those guys will only play for specific clubs.Can you explain this? I always thought that DP's skipped the allocation
MLS will do what it wants to get ahead. They want the allocation order but they also want guys like Henry and Villa and those guys will only play for specific clubs.
So the middle ground is that the league can essentially exempt some players from the allocation order if they deem it necessary. If the league feels like they can do without you, into the allocation order you go.
Surprisingly, the league must deem Mix non-essential.
