RvWs 4 year contract 0 Posted February 1, 2013 Ok so he''s only "done it" in a foreign league but why does that automatically mean he wont "do it" here in the Premiership?I''ve seen people criticise his goalscoring record which is silly bearing in mind how many our current lot have got.Do people honestly think that Hoot would sign a player if he didnt think it was going to work out? Please, just give him a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
York Canary 28 Posted February 1, 2013 I''m not writing him off. I''m hoping he''ll pleasantly surprise a few people. Really want him to do well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImDrunky 0 Posted February 1, 2013 I''m actually excited to see him play, ok I don''t know too much about him but after watching some videos he seems like a good guy with some skills. Doesn''t matter what league he played in, he could fit in and be great or maybe he won''t, who knows until he have played a few games for us. I don''t see the logic in writing him off already.

Chelmsford Canary 0 Posted February 1, 2013 No, i reckon he could do some damage, looks like a powerful player judging from youtube clips. The well touted open goal miss was extremely unfortunate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeelansGlove 0 Posted February 1, 2013 Not actually heard anyone write him off and as he plays out wide his goal stats are excellent. really should give us different options and no big gamble financially. thumbs up from me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricky knight 0 Posted February 1, 2013 We heard this when Kane was brought in give him chance etc, nobody wants the boy to be rotten but where he is coming from i personally dont have alot of hope that he will do the business, over the moon to be proved wrong mind you.

Tangible Fixed Assets anyone? 0 Posted February 1, 2013 [quote user="ricky knight"]We heard this when Kane was brought in give him chance etc, .[/quote]But Kane is a 19 year old and not yet fully developed physical wise. Whereas Kamara is 6''2 / 6''3" tall and is 28 years old. I suspect he is alot stronger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kick it off 1,952 Posted February 1, 2013 Im looking forward to seeing Kei play. Was reading an article earlier that noted he has been responsible (either scoring or getting the assist) in 45% of Kansas City''s goals in 2 of the last 3 seasons. They were saying that KC are almost entirely dependent on him and their whole game plan is give the ball to Kei and let him run at the defence. That to me, sounds like something we dont currently have. Pilks will run at his man, and so will Snoddy, but they don''t possess enough pace to do it consistently and terrify defenders with the threat of it. Jacko possesses the pace to do it but it''s not really his game. Having someone to run at players the way Hucks used to would be a big asset and add a dimension we don''t have atm.

erro303 0 Posted February 1, 2013 Here''s a perspective from an SKC fan.Kei is very good in the air (he scores with his head a lot) and very good on his feet when he''s 1-on-1 with a defender and has some space in the midfield. He''s less good 1-on-1 when he gets near the box, but he has a decent eye for passing lanes and knows when to crash the goal for service.Contrary to what I''ve read, Kei does track back and help out on defense a lot. SKC plays a very agressive 4-3-3 with the left and right backs very involved in the attack, so our left and right wingers do overlap and get back when they have to.His big weakness is his shot. He lead the league in shots with 134 and was second in the league with shots on goal at 49, but scored only 11 times. For comparison, golden boot winner Chris Wondolowski was second in shots with 127 but scored a league high 27 goals. Keis shots to goals ratio is 8.2%. You''ll see lots of shots. Many of them will be poor. Finishing was actually a huge problem for Kansas City all season, despite being a dominant team in the league.Best way to use Kei would be on set pieces and as a late game sub until he gets his legs under him. He''s good at making runs and running at guys from midfield and he really is a beast in the air. He''s also a real character. He''s challanged fans to impromptu snowball fights via Twitter, and if you want to get on his good side, buy him some Chipotle.Good move for Norwich on loan? Certainly? Is Kei permanent Premiership material? I honestly don''t know. Maybe. He''s worth a look. Though I will say if Norwich tried to buy him outright without a loan though I''d think they were a little crazy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
city-till-i-die 7 Posted February 1, 2013 Answer to OPs titleBecause he didn''t cost ££££ millions He played in the MLS I''m hoping he will be a decent surprise package. Lets let the fella settle and not pass judgement after 20-30 minutes of him being on the pitch ;-)OTBC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stowmarket Canary (not Delia) 0 Posted February 1, 2013 Reading his twitter he''s well excited and keen to do well! Sounds like a kid at Christmas. Have a sneaky feeling hell have more of an impact than Kane, though that wouldn''t be hard! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joanna Grey 0 Posted February 1, 2013 It all comes down to whether he can hack the pace and workrate of the EPL. His unpredictability could work in our favour but also against us. Will be interesting to see how he gets on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Media_Student 0 Posted February 1, 2013 I''m excited for his arrival. From what i''ve seen on Youtube and his Twitter he''s charismatic which will be good for the morale of the squad, he''s appreciative of the chance to come here and play, wants to be here and do well, and as someone else said his goal celebrations look ace! I''m backing him for success :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Budapest Canary 152 Posted February 2, 2013 From what I read and saw of him, he might be capable of breaking into the box (with the ball) on a reagular basis... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted February 2, 2013 He looks quite a handful. Lets just see how it goes. Its only a loan after all. Africans tend to do well in the prem due to their strength power and pace and I should imagine he will have more of an impact than kane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
