Mix Diskerud hints at NYCFC exit in cryptic Instagram poem

It appears that Mix Diskerud will have a new club in 2017.

The U.S. international and New York City FC midfielder hinted as much in a cryptic poem on Instagram, with the dawn of the 2017 MLS season approaching. Diskerud fell out of favor at NYCFC under manager Patrick Vieira last season, not appearing in a league game after June 2. After playing in 27 games in 2015 (and starting 23), Diskerud was reduced to a bit player, starting nine of his 12 appearances last year.

At a 2016 guaranteed compensation of $761,250, that could prove to be a number too costly to keep on the roster as dead weight, and it would appear that the club has had that discussion with the player, based on his lyrical expression.
