Yes, but we also haven't seen Mix besides some weird twitter poetry really criticize the team. Makes me think that organizationally the club treated Mix great and he just wasn't Vieria's type of player.
Jo Inge Berget [Forward]
- Thread starter LionNYC
- Start date
I mean, he got paid and didn't have to work, isn't that the best possible situation?
I thought he was better than most gave him credit for, but definitely not good enough to justify the price.
Guess we are going to have to bring in someone from this forum to score goals...

I definitely think they’re actively trying to spend less money (hello, we never even touched our discretionary TAM last season), and I’ve been wondering if this change in spending methodology was the writing on the wall for Claudio to have his son go elsewhere - was it known last year (or earlier) that the purse strings were tightening so the first team (minus Villa) wasn’t going to be a good environment for Gio to develop???? In all seriousness, why would a prodigy ever consider joining a roster lacking true stars to learn from and be tested against - they just wouldn’t.
Spending less than $800k on a backup striker might not be a bad idea though? I mean assuming we get any kind of striker at all.
This guy sucked always slower than everyone else.
he reminded me of myself when i play hoops with people who are really good and I always see the ball going past me because i am always to slow to realize the pass was coming to me.

Agreed. He had two moves. Stay central and make a spastic attempt to flick the ball onto the wing which more often then not failed. Or to make early runs (really early to make up for his lack of pace I presume) to the wing in attempts to suck out his marker, except no one ever followed him cause whats the harm of a lanky turd who can't pass on the wing. He would either be offside or just crowd the wing when he needed to be in the box on the receiving end of a cross. The goals he did score should have been converted in a pub league. He missed plenty of easy ones to boot.
We could do better for cheaper. I genuinely think he was signed for his beard.
i had big hopes for him when he came to NY.. he was injured a lot and just never got enough minutes to make a difference.
Might have to figure out a post on which NYCFC alums have played in the Champions League group stage.
Angelino
Reyna
Berget (soon)
Anyone else???
What about the forward that was only here for a season, was it Mendoza? I think he might have ended up in the group stage at some point.
Yup, and I thought he'd make a big impact after Villa was leaving, but that was when he decided he wanted to go back to Sweden :-/ I still wear my Berget jersey with pride though, lol
Stiven Mendoza. Let's see.
He spent 2.5 years in Ligue 1 with Amiens and then half a season in Ligue 2 after they were relegated. Seems he is now back in Brazil.
No Champions League appearances.
5 goals in 24 MLS games. 9 goals in 53 Ligue 1 games.
Based on how well his team is playing maybe they aren’t playing him correctly either
