Ten Things About Kwadwo Poku

Here is my favorite quote.

Love affair with fans

Before he became a fan favorite at Yankee Stadium, Poku was a cult hero in Atlanta, where they still sing songs for him while taking in NYCFC games during watch parties. In the preseason, an emotional Poku embraced fans after a match in Charleston.
 
In a follow up to Poku getting @Poku on Twitter. He now wants to play for the USMNT. POKU!!! FREEDOM!!! AMERICA!!!

I was just looking at how we got the rights to Poku which via conditional trade with Seattle hopefully that condition is based solely on starts.

Ranked #7 and the only NYCFC player on the list of 24 under 24
For whatever these lists are worth, I think that's a pretty good showing. Of the guys in front, the only one I haven't been that impressed with this year (relative to his ranking) is Shipp, though I know he is highly regarded. And Poku is in front of some pretty good guys like Kitchen, Plata and Larin.
 
Whoever it was who bought the Poku jersey before the season started…

Do you have thoughts on the Super Bowl? I'd like to place a bet.
Anyone who watched the St Mirren preseason game got a glimpse that "the boy's a bit special". Except Kreis maybe (ba-dum tsh).

The former Asante Kotoko player who was chased by the United States to switch his allegiance to play the Obama boys has finally opted to represent his country side Ghana at the international level.

I think I've found my new nickname for the USMNT.
