Update: Since Feb 10th he's been getting zero minutes. My 20-30 minutes estimation has looked extremely generous in the 4 games he did come on. His appearances have been for 27/9/7/5 minutes in chronological order. Notice that immediate drop into a steadily downward curve.
Lennon had a decent game v Everton, so don't expect that metric to improve any time soon. As predicted, Dyche has never had both Lennon and N'Koudou on the pitch at the same time.
Would be worth looking at the *very few* subs Dyche has made. Burnley dont make many subs and when they do, they are always for very few minutes.
Since he's been out on loan we've bought in Moura. not sure that it holds much hope for GKN right at this moment in time. (without being a dooms merchant)
young players need to show that they can come in and make a difference and challenge for a first team place if they are going to be part of the squad long term - see MP's comments about KWP and the squad of 25.
Stopping now, too many acronyms for one post. TTFN

Must have been to the same school of science that are lot went to who wanted him to start!
Hopefully he hasn’t let his social media skills drop

Wash your mouth out. Looked amazing when I saw him. Much better than N'Jie. On a par with Moura at least
He’s just been unlucky. Somebody needs to take a chance on him. Can be a game changer in the mould of Iwobi imo

Fans prattle on about pace, which he has in spades. So has Usain Bolt.
Football is not about running at pace. It's a game played in the head(Cruyff, if you're asking).
What does Moura have that N'Koudou doesn't? He has pace but he has trickery, touch, control, awareness. He seems to have immediately bought into the team ethic espoused by Poch. Fitness is secondary, time and effort gains you that.

What's happening with him then? Surely he must be on his way out?
So frustrating that we waited until August 31st to sign him, surely it would've made more sense given how inexperienced and raw he was to get him in to the team early on, to give him a full pre-season? Instead he had no time to get up to speed, is it any surprise it didn't work out?
Hopefully we'll be more clever with signings like this in the future.

I'm not sure we'd get much for him because he's not really shown much. I think the Burnley loan was purely to put him in the window. Perhaps another loan to a club where he'll play every match and get us 15 million by the end of the season.

I agree, he is currently valued at 7 million according to Transfermarkt
It would be great if we could get 15 million for him after next season, and I guess we would need to loan him back to a French club similar to N'Jie and hope that he performs well.

I like Kevin. He's all smiles and seems to blend in well with the players group. but charm and smiles don't get you anywhere if you don't have the qualities for a top player. If we get 10 mil for him, I'd be happy to see him go

I'd love to swap him with bordeaux and get Malcom, of course we would need to pay a fee on top but would be a decent sweetener for them.

Don't suppose you know where the Malcom threads are (or have disappeared to) ?. HITC is running a fresh article about him today but I don't know if that's an acceptable source for The Front Page section, so don't want to post it & get in shit with the mods. And I can't post it in another thread because it's obviously off topic.
