LigaMX is better than whatever Scandinavian league he was in. So an upgrade I guess.

Today has been a lot of WTF.

Omar Salgado got bought by Tigres after failing to really make it in MLS (injuries didn't help).

Now Cubo Torres is going back to Chivas (MX) for at least six months. I hope this isn't more permanent. The league needs to hang on to this dude.

I've had my eye on a Xolos jersey for quite some time now, if this comes to fruition it will definitely push my decision over the top.

Vamos Xolos!

Salgado? I haven't heard that name in a while. Good luck to him in Nuevo León.

The rumor with the Cubo Torres thing is that it's a 6 month loan to Chivas, with MLS retaining his rights--likely going to Houston.

This is a strange move for Mix. I like that Tijuana is collecting young American talent, but this one confuses me. He could probably be a DP in MLS and there's been talk about offers in the Netherlands and France.

Liga MX is about on par with those two leagues, and he gets to live in San Diego.

Cubo is Houston's player. They could use him after his 6 mos are up.

I've read that MLS is loaning him there for 6 months to decrease his $7.5 million transfer fee. Houston is apparently the leader for him once he comes back from loan.

Ah, ok. Thanks y'all for clearing that up. Houston better take that deal and run with it. This is the marquee signing they have been dying for. Young, popular Mexican national teamer.

The Mix deal is weird to me too, but I guess this further cements my loves of the Xolos... at least on fifa. They sold one of their better players at too, so hopefully Arriola gets a run out.

Also, it looks like Dom Dwyer and Sydney Leroux are dating. Intredasting.

Why did so many people expect Mix to automatically want to play for some MLS team? The dude has never even lived in America before and can play in better leagues than MLS anyway.

He's said in the past that he wants to live in America, that's why.

Mix said in the past that he wants to play for a city and a club, not be owned by a league. Most likely a big reason he's not going to be in MLS.

Apparently, he has never been to TJ. Yeah, get that swank place in San Diego and commute to TJ. The border crossings can get real old after awhile.

Did he say that after the recent move to Columbus, or whoever it was, fell through? I remember him saying he wanted to play here because he's never lived here. Maybe he recently changed his mind about the MLS.

This makes sense to me. He only just turned 24. He still might want to go back to Europe at some point. If he signed for MLS at DP money, it would be like Hotel California for him.
