Khiry Shelton [Forward]

Looks like Khiry is also still in the discussion for the Rio 2016 Olympic team. Would love to see him get back from this injury and on the squad.

What about forwards, Hernandez and Rodriguez caused a lot of problems against England. Happy with your forward options?

We have Jordan Morris. He is our fastest player. We missed him as he’s with Stanford University. So we have four or five very talented strikers up front with different skills. Jordan is our fastest player and then we have another powerful striker from New York City, Khiry Shelton. He has been injured for the last couple of weeks which is not good. We have other strikers like Alonso who is from the Mexican system and style and he is more technical and smart who reads difference situations. We have to find the right options for every single game.

Khiry's been chosen by Messi as one of his "Team Messi" stars of the future - sounds like it'll involve a series of promotional videos based around his time in training with NYCFC.


It's just smart marketing, having a player in the New York (City) market.

Nice to see that he's working on his ball skills. Say what you want about them but the presence of our DP can definitely motivate our kids to be better.
 
Yeah I have to respectfully disagree with you there. There were some of us on the Poku bandwagon during the pre-season training stint in Manchester. I don't think Shelton made himself known until the early stages of the regular season.

I built the bandwagon.

I built the bandwagon.
Built the bandwagon? I drove the bandwagon to YS, camped out, and took a picture with Poku on his own bandwagon.

I don't even know what that means. But it felt good to write.

Oh, and I also really like Khiry. Let's not forget the dude drew 2 reds and had a game saving goal in extra time in one of the best games of the year for our club before he got hurt. Here's to a great 2016 Khiry!
