Kwadwo Poku [Midfielder]

anything that gets jacobson out of our lineup

That's an interesting view given AJ's placement in our game in PR.

If PV can develop Jacobsen into a quality CB, it's like solving two problems with one stroke. It creates depth in our CB position and reduces the cluster that we have in our midfield (which consequentially allows NYCFC to field it's best 11 players in the lineup). Obviously, it's way too early to tell if this will work, but I think it's a good idea and worth a shot.

AJ playing CB was more because we cut all of our CBs but at the same time we did start AJ over Hernandez.

Poku came in at No. 90 and was one of six Major League Soccer players to make the list.

The midfielder played 27 games for New York City FC and started six of them; he scored four goals and registered seven assists.

Is that the same coach who tried to trade poku? And shit on him in interviews?

Even though, he claims, it cost the Silverbacks a win, Wynalda sent Poku to Seattle for a trial in the middle of the NASL season.

Word from Sounders sporting director Chris Henderson, according to Wynalda, was that the visiting midfielder was inconsistent in training. Seattle was interested enough to put in a discovery claim to ward off other teams, but not interested enough to sign him.

Sounds like Seattle was "shitting" on him for the same thing that kept Kreis from using him more.

What a coincidence...

I hope PV can find guys like this on this side of the ocean.

It's kind of lame that the NYCFC page announcing this does not link to the actual list at Bleacher Report.

Watching Wheel of Fortune and the evening Win4 numbers were 8816. Poku getting 16 goals/assist this year.

If you're a Kreis hater since he thanked him

I'd like to see one of these on RJ Allen. He wasn't in pro soccer for more than a full year and we signed him and he's been worth his wages.

The Kreis fanboys seem to be the petty ones.

This is the type of player you build a team around. I love his attitude and his commitment to leaving everything he has on the field.
