Mix To Nycfc! [unconfirmed Rumor]

Not confirmed by the club yet.

Meanwhile, sources tell me #NYCFC is closing in on signing #USMNT midfielder Mix Diskerud. Here’s my @GoalUSA story: http://t.co/qvfFUVF1FX

Until Paal pulls out at the last second. Or we find out he never actually signed.

Papa Paal is too busy trying to not end up in jail.Tonight has been quite a roller coaster of emotion...i kinda wish I heard the Petke news first though.

This was the kind of signing I was hoping for all along. No European retreads. Let's get some young American talent and make this club the destination for our national players.

This would be the kind of news NYCFC needs. Excellent signing, if true. I might even be okay with Frankie playing (as a late sub) in July if this news is true.

 

[NYCFCP]

Yes, yes, makes up for a late Lampard....

Wrong color.

Great news but hopefully it does not use up a DP spot.

 

[Jamie E]

Would this be a DP signing (and the third assuming lampard comes)? If so, I was kinda still hoping for de Rossi, but want to hear what others think

 

[BxLio91]

If they can finesse down his salary with allocation money and get him right below DP threshold, it would be a great move.

 

[Enemigo]

This is what NBC sports is reporting:

"In what would be a dramatic turn of PR events for the club after the Lampard loan extension debacle, Goal.com’s Ives Galarcep is reporting that Diskerud will sign with NYCFC, and not necessarily as a Designated Player. If true, it’s a stroke of genius for NYCFC director Claudio Reyna and head coach Jason Kreis."

So, let's hope it won't be the last DP... like Jaime E, i'm hoping for De Rossi too!

 

[BlueWarrior]

Wow what a midfield we would have… De Rossi, Diskerud and that la…lamp…lampshade…whats his name?

jp ; ) Totally stoked about mix potentially coming.

 

[BlueWarrior]

Ives is a really good source. Hope it happens.

 

[BxLio91]

If he signs, I'm pre-ordering a black #10 jersey.

 

[Kjbert]

Just a thought - has to be DP. Is the organization overpaying him to make it happen after the Lampard news.

Yankee fans will understand this - Yankees often find themselves negotiating against the selves and overpaying for players.

 

[MagnusPax]

Wrong color.

Take your pick, he has like 100 Yankees hats:

 

[BxLio91]

My comment meant that he should have posted one with a sky blue Yankees hat.

Make it so, overlords! I am an unabashed Mix fan

 

[Midas Mulligan]

I just want to say, if this happens, I want some credit. Some of us have been pimping him since like page 2 of this thread. (Player rumor thread, I mean)

Also, I offered to have his babies, and I think that's probably a key deal point.
