This is your conductor and lifelong Sunshine Brigade member hangthadj signaling the ALL ABOARD for the Gyassi Zardes hype train? The golden boot of the Carolina Challenge Cup is only a precursor of things to come for this striker. Gyassi is our Voltron. The aerial ability of Kei Kamara, the hold up play of Brian McBride, the slightly less quick turn of Stern John, the nose for offside of Jairo Arietta or Ola Kamara, the first touch of Jamall Sutton and Jason Garey (COMBINED!). Put it all together and what is he? He is the fulfillment of our dreams!!!! Where will you tell your grandkids you were when Gyassi opened up his home account with a hat trick on Crewsmas 2018? Do you want to look Skippy and Sally in the eye and tell them, "No, I did not yet believe, I was a skeptic." Or do you want to tell them you were aboard the train from the get go! Get on board and celebrate our soon to be Golden Boot and MLS MVP striker Gyassi Zardes!!! It's time Crew fans. Here we go! GYASSI ZARDES HYPE TRAIN!!! ALL ABBBBOOOOOOOAAAARRDDDDD!!!!!
Damn straight, Voltron!!! I thought that a former mod with a picture of a retired wrestler to accompany his persona would appreciate that reference!! Never say I didn't extend the olive branch. You are still welcome on the GYASSI ZARDES HYPE TRAIN.
You misunderstand, kind sir. Voltron was awesome. Activate interlock. Dynotherms connected. Infracells up. Megathrusters are go. Go Voltron Force! Just the five lions version. If you're talking about the shitty version with the vehicles, I hope a deranged holy man sprinkles sawdust on your sister.
Kyle the Skeptic in the house! You don't need a ticket to board the train, you only need to believe!! Like Saul on the road to Damascus, may you soon have a conversion and become one of our greatest apostles! GYASSI ZARDES HYPE TRAIN!!!!
Hang has always been committed to his role. With Meram gone, I have feared for his commitment to optimism. This thread is reassuring (and not at all shocking). Unfortunately, if I had to provide one piece of feedback, then it would be to point out the formulaic nature of his lovings. Hang’s initial proclamation (perhaps multiple) in a roster thread plus good/decent performance in some preseason match/early season matches on the part of the player = hang’s classic knighting. Where you lead, we will follow (this time). Maybe not just anywhere, but if the location seems justified, then sure.
Dude, this is my ********ing thing. I appreciate the enthusiasm, though. GYASI ZARDES, ******** YEAH!
3G knows in 30 seconds what Bruce Arena could not figure out in 4 years, Zardes is a #9. I get having to play him wide with Keane as the #9, and Landon in the hole. But later?
