Don't think he's been seen since Moyes burgled his house. |

I would have remembered if it was Farkakt or Henrikmc2, they leave an unforgettable odour. |

I was thinking more one of those cheap faux lemon "scents" beloved of the NHS when used excessively in a shampooeouse. |

Strange buy really. Wasn't it something like 10 games for krasnodar and we shelled out 3.5 mil for him? I think someone got stars in their eyes over that one. But how was a 19 y/o with 10 senior games ever going to challenge Scott Brown for a place in the 11? I still think he'll play a part, but I expect he'll be understudy to Broony's understudy (McGinn?) before he ends up playing regular football for us. |

To be fair, when Kouassi was bought Brown looked on the way out. Maybe set him back a bit. |

Koussi has shown in fits and starts that he has qualities. Even Ncham has looked patchy at times but this comes with all young players. Admittedly Rodgers signings haven't all hit the ground running but got to trust in the guy. |

I don't think it's fair to say Broony was on the way out....but clearly you can't plan for a successful season based on the assumption that a 32 year old midfielder, who's apparently a legitimate target for every hacker in the league in the eyes of our refs, will be fit for 2 games a week for the bulk of the season. Broony has had a "man of steel" season, and that has probably held Kouassi back a bit....but Kouassi himself clearly had a lot of development to do (both physically and in terms of his game) before he was going to challenge for a place. His rare outings in the second half of the season look promising as he's both bulked up and doesn't seem as lost out there on the pitch as he did at first. Oh, and regarding the previous post - McGinn, if signed, will IMO be competition/cover for Ntcham rather than Broony

Leicester willing to let Mahrez join Man City if they can have Patrick Roberts as part of the deal, according to the BBC transfer gossip page. |

He wasn't signed to challenge him. He's a project. Maybe a dear one but every report you hear from behind the scenes about him is glowing. Given they're trying to teach him to replace one of our most successful captains, you'd effin hope we'd shell out a bit and be patient. Maybe Brendan doesn't think it's fair to play him when the rest of the team generally don't kick their arse without Brown on the pitch. Playing him in a role he isn't training for (ie alongside Broony) won't do him any favours with our famously patient support either. |

The manager has talked about competing with better teams in a physical sense. He talked about the need to have more power when we signed Ntcham. He is very much the template of a technically good footballer who also has physical attributes to allow him to mix it, although he could probably do with upping his pitch coverage and pressing at times, which will presumably come with age, coaching and development. I've no doubt this was part of the thinking behind the move for Kouassi too, and it has worked out a bit differently. In fairness, the first six to ten months were mostly a write off due to him getting malaria then getting an ankle injury at the start of this season. I also feel like we probably feel like we need to act more quickly to acquire players we think are diamonds in the rough because they get will soon be elevated out of our wage and fee bracket. There is inherently a greater level of risk in that. |
