So is the idea here to play Ring and Keaton as a double pivot, presuming Yangel doesn't come back?

Yangel’s not coming back. He was already transferred last week. And Keaton seems to be more of an 8 than a 6.

Pretty sure we see a midfield of Maxi-Keaton-Ring-Sands

This is incredible!
If we sing that, along with Lord of the Ring, and then we add some more for other players, we might have some great new chants

My daughter would beam a smile from ear to ear with that chant

I'm pretty sure that was proposed for another player a couple years ago. That was my first 3xposure to baby shark.

 

[413Blue]

Yup. But only earlynlast season.

Replace Baby Shark with Ismael
Replace Mommy Shark with Tajouri
Replace Daddy Shark with Shradi
Replace Gradman Shark with Tajouri
Replace Grandpa Shark with Shradi
Replace Let's Go Hunt with Let's Score Goals
Replace Run Away with NYC
Replace Safe At Last with FC

And it's quite catchy...

Parks rhymes with Shark, so it works a bit better.

So we have that and All We Need Are a Team of Alex Rings.

Anything else?

Not player. For the team. The logic was that MCFC was Shark Team and we were kicking ass at the top of the season: Baby Shark...

Damn near a year ahead of time.

" NYCFC supporters have nicknamed Parks "Big Bird," which I think is the best nickname in the league."

is this true? quoted from Doyle's Q&A article on MLssoccer.com

I've never heard this before.

I believe I have heard it incidentally but certainly not widespread.

Yeah, it's definitely not been used a whole ton, but one of the writers at The Outfield has used it on occasion.
