A public comment of Mix's availability has to be a strategy of attracting a much broader foreign audience. Also consider the fact that Vieira emphasized Mix's international experience in his comment which was kind of unnecessary there. A foreign club is less likely to scoff at his $750k salary too, especially with a minimal transfer fee.
Prediction: Two weeks time, he's back in Europe and off our books.
Mix to MCFC, MLS approves the deal because they get a good amount of money back for him (if not a profit) and NYCFC gets some allocation money from the mothership.
"Patrick Vieira had a long, private conversation with Mix Diskerud following training today. Speculate away. #NYCFC"
This had about a 30 minute analysis of the fate of Besler in KC. Probably not worth the time unless his name actually surfaces, but I found it generally interesting as a USMNT follower and general soccer geek.Interesting. SKC on record as looking for an attacking mid this transfer window.
Some of the reports on Besler from those who watch SKC weekly have been very negative over the past year or so, but given Mix's salary, you are likely going to have to absorb someone else's problem or eat a lot of the salary. Left-sided CB who can play the ball would fit nicely subject to seeing what the mystery that is Chanot actually brings.
A coach talking to one of his players is not breaking news?This is the twitter version of click bait. Nothing of value is given in this post by him at all.
Disagree, it's a call to action, Marketing 101.This is the twitter version of click bait. Nothing of value is given in this post by him at all.

Diskerud + several boxes of Mix lids for Besler + international spot.
Fixed it for you.
Just show Mix that MLS video about how hipster KC is and he'll have no problem fitting in.
Vieira looking for PokemonGo tips? You know Mix, Khiry, and Mikey are all over that. Jack Harrison too.
Mix is a jack of all trades but master of none. In a non salary cap league, it's whatever but wit the cap it's a pain in the buttocks. Hopefully he gets his shit together and sticks around.
KJ, after 3500 posts you need to get an avatar, my man.This is a great post. He's a solid player who is probably destined to be a squad player in a mid level league in Europe - Championship, Scottish Prem, etc.
Maybe he is just planning appropriately.
Sounds like he's traveling with the team for the Montreal game.
But raise a family? Is Mix heading to Montreal permanently?
A Norwegian-American living in French-Canada...
Is Mix a pot head? Or does he just like to say "sorry" a lot?And what is the difference between
"a place to raise a family"
- and -
"the typical place to enjoy all Canadian freedoms"
???
