[/quote]Lets see how he fits in at west ham, i think he will do well - if you have the ablility.... He didnt look great this season - he looked forlorn after those away thrashings and was not the same player he had been, he had lost his spark - like green."why`s he for sale ? " - So Cardiff can afford to buy Jason Koumas - thats why......"Greeno has to be sold ASAP " - totally agree, he needs to go for his sake and ours, we could do with the cash, he needs to progress Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheded 0 Posted January 26, 2006 If Cameron is such a bargain , why does Cardiff want Koumos ? sorry , but there`s something a bit skewed about all this ! maybe we should cut the middleman , and go for Koumos !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]I think Koumas has his heart set on Cardiff, but they can''t afford him without selling Jerome. Personally, I would rather have Koumas but Worthington''s been like Augustus Gloop with central midfielders recently and we''ve got too many for him to justify buying another. It would basically be admitting he''d made a mistake with Robinson, Etuhu, Jarrett and Hughes (in my mind only 2 of those are mistakes). This is all assuming that Koumas can''t play right wing - does anyone know if he''s played there before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]this is exactly the point I have been making since we have been interested in Jerome... Koumas has fired in 10 goals from midfield this term!! He is a FANTASTIC player. I am 100% sure Worthy would FAIL to get the best from him however. He cant even get the best out of Huckerby this term a player whom garuantees promotion at tthis level!!ClubFromToFeeLeagueFA CupLeague cupOtherCardiff27-07-2005 Loan 27 (2)90 (0)02 (1)10 (0)0West Brom29-08-2002 £ 2250000 69 (15)144 (1)05 (0)00 (0)0Tranmere20-02-199829-08-2002Trainee 96 (31)259 (0)59 (5)20 (0)0Totals£ 2250000192 (48)4813 (1)516 (6)30 (0)0goals / game0.20.350.13 n/aAppsGoalsAppsGoalsAppsGoalsAppsGoalshttp://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=13834 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
