When loaning players, you need to weigh up the level of the League to how much game time they will get. And what teams actually want him. 4 games, with 2 starts and 2 subs is decent. Will be good to see how many mins he plays over the season.Hadnt realised he was on loan at Standard Liege, thought it was a smaller team.
Seems to have had 4 games there, 2 starting and 2 as sub.
They were a really good team a few years ago but now sit in 12th and 7pts off the top.
Strange place to send him on loan...
Looked highly promising when he played for us and disappointing hes not able to step in for Digne now.
I think he is in TinderI’d like to see more of this lad.
Sending him to Belgium says that the club thinks he's a very long way away. Limited match time says that the receiving club doesn't rate him. Subbing him in the first half of the most recent match after the team horked up three goals in the first eighteen minutes is a really bad sign.Realistically, if we’ve sent him on loan to Standard when we have no specialist left back, back up players in the squad, you would have to wonder whether the club rate Nkounkou or not. Sending him out to a league where he will not be truly tested doesn’t make sense. If he is considered a viable prospect, he could have stayed here and been given plenty of game time.
He’s looked promising to me when he has started, but, it seems the club prefer to play either Godfrey or Delph-Injured as back ups to Digne. Doesn’t bode well.
Nkounkou got practically no game time last year and maybe to keep him happy and motivated was sent to Belgium as a young french speaking lad, its also not far to jump on a train to meet up with family and friends! All this the club does'nt rate him is going a bit far as with Digne, we knew he d get minor time unless a dramatic injury and with Godfrey last season doing a good job also there and we can throw in delph, it was a solid decision ! The season isnt that old so maybe in coming months he'll get more game time there as wing back or winger even?
Having back up "potential" left backs like Garbutt for over 10 years who played maybe 8 times in that period and went down the english divisions to sunday pub squad levels on over 25 grand a week isnt what we should be doing again
He wouldn’t have got a chance though. Godfrey played ahead of him last season. No chance here.Realistically, if we’ve sent him on loan to Standard when we have no specialist left back, back up players in the squad, you would have to wonder whether the club rate Nkounkou or not.

We should be strategically placing lads on loan in Belgian, Dutch Leagues negotiating having options on some of their prospects in exchange, some good players come out of the Belgian league particularly.
Imangine we had an option on someone like Tielmeans before he went to Monaco, you could see his quality a mile off at Anderlecht.
