Mix Gone?

Going into this year, when everyone was jumping off the boat, I was in the Shelton becomes Zardes camp. Same physical attributes. Worse decision making, a disturbingly worse first touch and poor crossing skills.

The only thing holding Zardes back from playing Premier League football is his first touch. Hasn't improved in 2 years there.
The biggest difference IMO between the two is Zardes makes very, very smart runs. Shelton is horrible off the ball.
 
Yep. International has always made more sense for this reason. I was hopeful that an MLS team would just take him (salary and all) with nothing in return - maybe a team that has a DP slot, so their salary cap hit is less. But, if we have to move him to MLS, I think we will probably have to supplement the salary.

He should be relatively attractive in Europe. He holds a European passport (not EU, but I think Norway gets work privileges), so there are no issues with permitting. He is a good technical player. Any team in the Championship or France or the Netherlands should be happy to take him with that salary.

Regardless, I would love to see him go somewhere that gives him a regular starting job. He's a good player and a good guy and deserves regular time on the pitch.

I know teams in Europe pay more but I still think he is considerably over paid even for them. Think about it this way. Mix wouldn't have come to NYCFC at $750,000 if he had higher offers in Europe. Add in that we probably overpaid due to the USMNT connection which is important in the MLS and meaningless elsewhere. Now a year plus later of poor from and sitting on the bench his value is even lower. Why would a team anywhere in the world pick up his salary?

CFG affiliation or promised future favors in return?
 
Mix posted a snapchat of him getting a new passport photo...

He was able to get into Montreal for the past game. I've been to Vancouver on a cruise and didn't need my passport stamped. Maybe his is just expiring soon rather than its just expired.

Everyone needs a valid passport for business or leisure but still.

SPECULATE!
 
FWIW, he was training today. Although that red pinnie is rather ominous.......

Heard a handful of rumors recently about Mix asking girls for naked pictures on Snapchat.

Anybody else?

I wonder if this is at all related to his current situation (Chateau Bow Wow).

assuming these rumors are true
 
Interestingly, Mix's path seemed to have taken a wrong turn almost simultaneously with his having placed his powerful flowing locks in a man-bun. Indeed, it was almost 26 years ago when an angel appeared before Mrs. Diskerud and said "You shall have a son, and when he grows up he will begin to save the birds of blue from the hand of the evil bulls in red. But your son must never drink any wine or strong drink as long as he lives. And his hair must be allowed to grow long and must never be placed in a bun, for he shall be a pigeon warrior under a vow to the Lord."

Unfortunately, he has broken that vow and I'm afraid that his path may never be the same(son).
