Shea is a poor-man's Dempsey for the bankrupted individual.
Mix Gone?

If I remember correctly Shea had that great season at Dallas principally playing on the wing and using his size and pace to create opportunities (sounds a lot like what was envisioned for Shelton, but sticking to the topic...).
Shea got a lot of notice including national team calls and overseas interest. Then the tinkering Jurgen (enamored with his size and speed, because that's priority #1 and #2 for him), who thinks "anyone" can play LB, decided to put him there...which is not his position.
Shea then bombed out at Europe and went to Orlando, where he would play LB to develop for the national team...which has been a mixed result at best.
He could be a success if you put him on the wing and tell him to run at people and in space. Another issue with Shea is that he pretty much has a 10 cent head, all skills and a limited soccer brain.
Could it work? Maybe. But it's a risk.

What's with the Jurgen hate? You make it seem like everything was ok in Shealand until Jurgen came along. He had a great 2013 Gold Cup for Jurgen playing at LM, but after he signed with Stoke City he was either injured or couldn't crack a lineup. He played less than 20 competitive matches in the EPL and Championship in the two years in between signing with Stoke City and signing with Orlando City. If you don't play for two years, you get replaced.
The idea that Jurgen is directing Brek to play LB is also absurd. He has played LB for pretty much every team he has played with including at Dallas. IIRC correctly Brek even played some CB for Dallas.
Makes no sense -- wouldn't they want to showcase him a bit?

So is Ballouchy gone, too?
I think this is much ado about nothing. I know the lockers are in numerical order, but this appears to be just the guys in the 18, aside from the third-string goalie.
Also, I've been in that locker room for hockey -- there are lockers on all four sides. It's possible they have lockers for the 18 on one side, and the other guys are on the opposite wall.
Not if a deal is in final stages. Which I think it is. I just don't see how he isn't even worthy of the 18 unless something is about to happen.
Aren't you the clever boy?
That's actually sad to hear... He poured his heart out for FC... If he's traded, I'm goin to miss him for sure...
You and me both. I hope it's all rumors and conjecture and that Mix stays when all is said and done in the transfer window.
Yep. He gone.
(Goddammit)
I also wouldn't assume we are getting a player back, considering Mix's bloated salary sucks up all his trade value.
I would think a team would want to send a player in return to help offset Mix's salary? Even if Mix becomes a DP for whichever team, that's still a huge chunk of change to take on without jettisoning something.
