2021/22 Niels Nkounkou

[Neiler]

Surely would add much more to the team than having JJK at LB like last season

Hes exactly the profile of lid we want covering, potential, head room, variance with Myko, young and coachable.

Lets get a hold of him and cut the square edges off.

Frank did a great job transitioning Reece James.

 

[Nymzee]

Ancelotti didnt play him either even when digne wasnt available. He struggled in the two league games he started. Southampton and newcastle i think. But there is hope the season away has benefited him.
You also havent got to reply to all messages like a sarky little pr!ck. Its been done. Its boring. Have a wank and a pot noodle if you're constantly frustrated.

Hate pot noodles mate they’re gross. No need to be so offended when your posts are called out.

Nothing was called out. I noticed you left ancelotti out of it.
But regardless. Its just a forum. You do it to so many posters on here. Its not offensive Its just really boring. Change your act now and then. Or best just dont reply.

Agreed...and let's not forget we also have Ashley Cole on the coaching staff. He knows a bit or two about playing left back.

Would much rather give this guy a run in the team than Myko. He looked a far better prospect and much more of an attacking threat

He definitely isn't better

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Can you imagine this fella coming on towards the end of matches? I think that will be a tactic we use next season to really stretch tired defences. It would save us buying Traore to do the same job.

Myko is already vastly overrated

 

[Baines' left foot]

Another player who’s got better from not playing, I see.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Dunno really. He had a slow start which was understandable but had clearly improved by May. There should be room for more improvement.

Will give you that he improved but he did start from such a low base

Nkounkou seemed to struggle last year. I want to see him play to see if he has improved from 18 months ago

Are you basing that soley on a game against fleetwood town?

We live in hope that he has come back and this will be a season for him here. But its almost impossible to have formed any judgement on him. Esp over mykolenko.

 

[ValBlue]

Left his home at a young age to play in a different country, came into a shocking side with low confidence, saw his own country plunge into war. To say he was thrown in the deep end is an understatement, and his performances reflected this, he was poor. He since improved his attacking threat, scoring a key goal in our survival, solidified his already decent defensive capabilities, played well internationally (putting in some killer crosses that weren’t converted).
But Nkounkou played well once against Fleetwood in the league cup and did a grand total of nothing at all in Anderlect and is somehow the better prospect??
Id rather have him here to prove something and fight for position, I still rate him, but come on, this is a bit of a stretch to have him over Myko right now

Works for me
