Player Watch: Georges-Kévin N'Koudou

[dtxspurs]

Poch seems to not want a growing number of our recent transfer purchases.
Either he didn't want them and they were purchased for him or we can't trust in his player selection judgement.
I have a bad feeling Moura is going to be the next on the growing list

Jesus Christ people giving up on Moura after a game where Poch played him as a striker.. Reminder his last league game vs Leicester he set up 3 goals.

We need to sell the like of GKN & Janssen even if we take a hit on them, which we obviously will. If we loan them out we're going to be in exactly the same position next year, having to try and flog them before we can buy anyone

Unless they show the same attributes that led to our scouts, Levy Poch agreeing to buy them in the first place.
Surely we can't just keep buying duds

Read it properly. Who said I or anyone else was giving up on him?
It's just a feeling given the fact he hardly got any match time last year and other comments about him not fitting in to a system. Absolute tosh about him not having a full pre-season as the the reason he might not of played last season. I assume Winks will be straight in without a pre-season as soon as fit!
My nagging doubt is that Poch didn't/doesn't want him. If that's the case add him to the VJ. Clinton and GKN signings.
Something somewhere is wrong in our player recruitment

I agree, we don't seem to look for the right fit more the same position if we miss out on our top targets. So we're after someone with pace in 2016, we look at Mane and think he can do a job. However we miss out on him, Sissoko plays the same position and is quick too; however we forget the fact that Mane's strength is pace, dribbling and technique, of which Sissoko only has one.

Technique?

Technique?

In Kickboxing yes, those would be amazing shin strikes.

Lamela is also on a jolly. Maybe they all got given Monday off?

They've all got an additional 2 days rest to usual as we don't play until next Monday, so him, Lamela and I assume some other members of the squad are taking the opportunity for a short break with their families.

I think there is no doubt Poch gets bought players he doesn't really want, because they are cheap.. that's just part of life with Levy.

Hope so. More for his sake. He needs to get with a team at his level so he can play regularly and develop his career, not watch from the sides

No agenda here, but why isn’t this in the Transfer Rumours section? I’m fully expecting loans and sales, but don’t know where to look for rumours and ITK.

A&C said its to close soon. There hasn't really been any ITK since the window closed.

Not want Moura? If you say so

He hardly played for PSG though.....

and were talking about a seriously demanding coach in Poch, we're a unique squad given how fit players have to be to play for us.

Moura not playing much last season was absolutely down to him not being fit enough to play in our team.

Winks will be eased in, as any player coming back from a serious injury will be.

Oh Lord what is this post...

 

[smallsnc]

IMO, the Moura statements from last year were regarding him not being fit enough to play in our system. Lack of game time and maybe PSG training differences could lead to that. Given a preseason, Moura has had a chance to get "Poch" fit and is getting game time.

Winks already knows what Poch requires and I expect will work his way back to fitness fairly quickly.

What don't you get exactly.

There is clearly something wrong at our club in terms of player recruitment as stated VJ, Clinton and GKN as evidence, who knows if Aurier will turn out to be another one.

I'm not saying categorically saying Poch didn't want Moura but he joined us in the Jan window and hardly played. How long exactly does he need to get fit? Seems more to me that Poch didn't trust Moura in the system. I still have a nagging doubt that it is the case. Time will tell who is right on this.

Moura for me is our most exciting player so I really hope he works out.

It is perfectly clear for anyone who looks at the Levy tenure that managers get players they didn't ask for or want.
