The Gyasi Zardes Hype Train

I hope the train gets some upgrades reflecting this newly-minted DP status.

Edit: Live reaction from group text,

 

can we rename this the Gravy Train?

 

CHOOO CHOOOOOOO

EDIT: Watching that highlight was the first I saw of that goal and I have to say, I really enjoy it. Both of our goals from this past match are fantastic. It's too bad the defending shit the bed three different times that there were no points to get from them.

 

choo... choo...

 

Their third goal was rather good. MLS thought so too.... Sometimes the other guy is good.

 

There.

Will.

Be.

GOALS!!

 

Has the price increased to ride this train?

 

Payable in gold?

 

No ticket.

 

True story... We were visiting the Zeppelin Museum in Friedrichshaven--and they have some full size mockups of the Hindenberg. One of them is the window looking out of the lounge area. So Mrs. KG is standing there, looking out the window and gets this evil grin on her face. She looks up at me and says "No Ticket!"

 

Crew beat writer just gave him a million dollar paycut? Bummer for Gyasi.

 

Well that's certainly more in line with what we were expecting to see. Serious accounting error. I hope Hype Train got to cash a few of those checks before the comptroller got to it.

Like a Mendoza PK, still counts.

 

So I tweeted right at the start of the US game a hypothetical. Zardes catches fire during the gold cup, scores a bunch of goals as Altidore continues his injury woes and remains on the bench. We get summer offers for him. He's locked up on a new (likely 3 year) deal at $1.5M. How little/much do we take to sell him to an English Championship or Eredivisie side?

Now, having seen him play (the sack trab/whiff when he was in the 6 yard box on feed from #10 was particularly "ZARDES!") I don't think this is likely, but whatever.

I was thinking $4M. It would give us $2M+ (I forget the exact MLS rules) to spend on transfers in and Bez and Porter can start building the team they want from scratch.

 

The goal was amazing in a hilarious way, but Zardes was very poor last night I want to like the guy, but it is really baffling how he became a professional soccer player with that touch. Or rather, lack thereof.

 

I know everyone wants to say how hard it would be to replace a whatever#goalscorer... but I'd sell for half that.

We went from Kei, to Ola, to Gyasi. None of which were lighting the world on fire before coming here. They're all replaceable.

 

As true today, as it was when it was written.

 

I'd like to think Zardes simply knew exactly to be at the right place at the right time...choo choo

 

Shouldn't there be two new gifs in here???

 

The boss decided I should put out some fires today. Gifs coming soon!*
