Also being mentally broken down by the team. I'd love that.It must be nice not doing anything, not playing, absolutely nothing and getting paid full salary
Remember when the team finally used their buyout on him and we all thought it would be the end of all the mixdebating on the forum. Yeah those were good times.
Can’t wait to talk Cookieburger and Pirlo again because of some ridiculous signing by the mothership.

#1 was my immediate take on the situation, it's got to be said.
Also, can I just say how incredibly weird it feels that Umbro was allowed to announce the transfer of a player (whether he be a player they sponsor or not is beside the point) from a club wearing Adidas to a club wearing Nike?
Nike owns Umbro.
MIX "Twinkle Toes" is sponsored by Umbro, he wears there cleats. Notice no picture of a jersey, just a scarf.
Not quite. Nike bought Umbro back in 2007, but sold them in 2012 when they realised they couldn't make much money from them. Incidentally, just to totally shaft Umbro they also transferred every last one of Umbro's primary sponsorships to the main brand first, leaving Umbro with virtually no exposure at the time.
The person to whom you respond is nearly certainly a troll. Either that, or we should give him a participation trophy for figuring out the account creation process despite having major brain trauma.
It's got to be a bit of a mindfuck to be a pro soccer player and be pro-forma "signed" to probably the best club in Europe knowing you will never actually be on any roster other than the transfer list.
Would be funny if rooted in reality, but Sciaretta is grabbing low hanging fruit since if he bothered to read the tweet presser yesterday, he’d know it explicitly said he wouldn’t be involved in MCFC matches.
But I guess his tweet is applicable to himself since he hasn’t been selected for a Pulitzer, which is definitely talent related.
I’m not denying it was, but it’s low hanging fruit for a soccer columnist to make jokes at a player’s expense when not even rooted in reality.
Sarcasm, everyone. The title of this thread shouldn’t be “mix to Man City”; it should be “Mix to CFG Training Squad” which is essentially what he is doing.
CFG is doing MLS a solid and banking that if he finds a team in Europe and plays well, he could get sold and CFG profits from the sale.
That said, nice to see writers having some fun.
I wonder, what's MLS' take on their clubs writing sell-on clauses into transfers out?
whaaaaaaat, i didnt know the18 was the onion's soccer news branch. huh, learn something every day.

Mix is further proof that no matter what terrible dud you are... if you have a good agent that is all that really matters....
Or a good lawyer who can make your contract so obfuscatingly complex that no team will ever be able to successfully terminate you...
I am in the market for a new signature. This might be it.
