Rings wife is here. I assume his kids are also. I met her a few weeks ago.

Has the U.S. cap tied his kids yet?

Yes but they need to sit out 2 matches for yellow card accumulation.

Permanently, or just an extended visit?

 

[gbservis]

Are they not living here, or he’s being more careful about what he posts about his family?

Could be either, what makes me think they are not here is that I don't see them with him after the games in the behind the scenes videos like last year and on one of the breaks he posted an instagram story back in Finland with them that said something about how great it was to see them and how much he's been missing them. Maybe they were just gone for a bit and they are back now which would be a reassuring sign.

Which player on our roster is the most valuable to our on the pitch success? Not talking about driving interest and jersey sales. Just the one player who is indespensable.

And Right on Cue...

Warshaw: While other players steal spotlight, these guys are the real MVPs

Domè arrives and Vessel gets nicknamed “the pineapple”

(This post is in no way an endorsement of Vessel which by any name is a fucking hideous boondoggle)

That pineapple isn’t pretty.

Peel your skin off and see how pretty your insides are too.....

He just answered LionNYC ’s Twitter question about “pretty pineapple.” It stumped him for a moment but the upshot is it’s an idiom for a good group of people.

Wish I could have seen this live. Have to settle for the video. Glad it made it onto the Q&A list.

Want to provide a more detailed recap when you can?

Not much to report. 30 minutes of Q&A run by Mark Booth, with all questions taken from social media. Usual questions, nothing newsy about the responses.
Then you had the chance to have brief 1-1 interactions with autographs and/or photos. Saw Seth , CatNYC and Taurus there.
Oh, and one big group photo.

Someone on Reddit claims Torrent said he wants to make at least two summer signing with a 6 as the top priority and another 8 and a CB as secondary priority.

Sounds right. I thought I read something similar here in the last week, too.

Kjbert Said an CAM and LB, right?

Didn't Kjbert's tip predate Torrent? His tipster certainly does.

Here's the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/NYCFC/comments/8wg2i5/torrents_answer_on_targets_for_summer_transfer/

Poor James Sands. The first priority is to sign another DM ahead of him and the coach doesn't even count him as a CB.

We should probably take this to the Roster thread huh.
