Mix Gone?

Also I really hope I didn't jinx him. I got his jersey signed in preseason for the Forums fantasy league. He was really cool about it. Told him I'll be behind the team bench and he said he'll come over after the match and sign it. He signed for me and easily 20 other people. Poku sat right in front of us.. Naturally I got him to sign it, but the front so he couldnt see it was another players jersey, not that he'd care.
Mix signed the back so he didn't see Poku's auto on the front.
I figured it would be cool to have the jersey with a few more autos.
That's frowned upon right? Having players sign another players jersey?
Now fast forward 4 months later and there's a chance neither of them will be with the team.

Vieira signed it too.. Does that mean #vieiraout ?
Did I put a curse on them?!

Jeez...can we trade Dan instead?

You messed with the very fabric of time and space and we're all paying the price.

At this point, if he goes, I would prefer cash. Don't trade him for Jack McInerney or someone like that. No way he would return Adi. Just get cash and go out and get someone.

How likely is it that we get any cash from a mix deal? With his salary, if I were any MLS FO I wouldn't take him unless its a free transfer. I think Reyna gets that, and if we're moving him I think we're just looking to be free of his salary. IMO the only way we get cash for Mix (in addition to offloading his salary) is by going outside of MLS.
 
I also did some quick searching of the deep internets, and while I didn't find anything new, I found this from 2014 (below). I guess a lot of you might already know this, but I didn't, and it sheds some light on why Mix is such a rich bastard. Looks like daddy Mix demanded more :dollar::dollar::dollar:, and we're the suckers:

(2014):

"Looks like the mystery United States national team player who reached out to the Columbus Crew a few weeks ago was probably Mix Diskerud. The Norwegian-American heart-throb reportedly had a hand-shake deal ready to go until his father and agent Paal Diskerud decided his son needed a bit more money."

"The MLS club tried to sign Mix this summer, but the deal fell through. There were reports that Mix's father demanded more money at the last moment, but why the deal didn't get done is still unclear."

I'd take Melano. But they wouldn't trade him.

I think you're right. If Mix goes, let's just go shopping. Although, could there be a deal here for Gleeson?

To clarify, since everyone except 413 and I thinks Mix is taking up some crazy amount of cap-space, that would be the cash that at least I am referring to here.

Portland midfield sounds stout on paper with Charra, Nagbe, Valeri & Mix. But I don't know how you fit them all on the field, unless you let Valeri move further up and play a 4-2-3-1 with Mix & Charra as the 2, Valeri, Nagbe & Melano behind Adi. This is off the cuff, so I'm just throwing it out there. I refuse to actually research PTFC in order to help them best deploy my beloved Mix.

I thought the same thing. Do you trade Mix for Kewasey or Gleeson? I don't know the salary cap restraints at Portland - and frankly, I don't care enough to do the research. Could they absorb his contract by just offloading a Kewasey or Gleeson?

Then I thought - wait, we have some money to spend. I would rather see us go get an international keeper if we can turn Mix into an international spot (or if the rumored Mendoza offloading actually happens). Just my two cents - but I immediately thought of their GK situation as well.
