JP Kissok & Viddarson

[Cahill's Metatarsal]

both kissock and vidarsson were both highly rated and both looked to have very very bright futures (im sure chelsea offered us 3 million for jpk years ago) but after a few years 'improoving' and 'learning' under our youth coaches ,there careers are now set for a really poor standard.

jpk especially was touted as one of englands future stars only last summer.
some may say its the players fault (in respect of his size) but i think the coaches need to do some explaining about why the lad didnt progress.

i often wonder what would have happened to jpk if he went to chelsea instead of staying with us.

i wouldnt be surprised if he turns out to be another ex academy player the coaches have judged wrong...like baines johnson jagielka barton.

Last summer some people were saying he was going to be 1 of England's future stars?

Can we not blame Kenwrong for this??

Ok we'll blame you

 

[Goat]

Of course, its never Bills fault, cracking blue Bill you know, used to sit in the Boys Pen, bet you didnt know that did you?

 

[monty]

unlikely but possible.

besides , every club he has been on loan at wanted to keep him.
also the only club he has failed at is hamilton.

but i do hope the reason jpk is finding it hard to find a club is probably more down to financial problems rather than down to the players lack of skill.

im keeping my fingers crossed for the lad and hope he still manages to live up to his past potential.

To be fair UKNB he should have made it at Accies, he was quoted in the press when he signed for them that he would prove EFC wrong......just three months later he gets the elbow.........sad to see but most of it must be down to him mate

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Sad to see the old size argument is trotted out for his failure, at the same time as Messi is about to win World Player of the Year.

 

[Number_25]

It's simple.

They go to the club with unbelievable talent.

They leave the club with the same talent but not for a 19 year old.

He'd end up probably like all their own academy players, can't get a look in to the extent that Chelsea have to conduct dodgey dealing (alllegedly) to obtain a young footballer.

Utd have very few coming through the ranks. The rs also. Are their coaches crap as well?

 

[Bilya7]

I remember a couple of years ago these two were coming through the academy with flying colours, does anyone know what happened to them?

They weren't though were they? They were terrible players.

 

[BigBlueConk]

If they were any good, Spurs would have nicked them.
