Player Watch: Georges-Kévin N'Koudou

Could be that Poch started him as a means of putting him in the shop window. He won’t have many other opportunities

Unlikely he will be loaned by deadline though. Clubs from countries with a later deadline will probably wait so that they can get a better deal

Young french talent... you'd expect that someone in Ligue 1 would take a chance.

Sadly Monaco did last year and he didn't get a look in. Hopefully a Marseille or Lille will fancy a try.

Poch clearly does rate him. You don't start a player in the Audi Cup final if you don't trust him.

He even trusts GKN more than Kane. That's some statement.

 

[codspur]

The thing about GKN I don't get is whenever I have seen him play he seems to have a bit about him. The ball last night for the goal was perfect, he is pacey and that terrifies defenders....what does he do in training to not get at least a semi-regular bench spot?

He's starting to put together a very decent (albeit rather short) YouTube show reel.

I don’t entirely understand why he has never really been given a chance. He doesn’t look terrible at all. Really surprised he can’t find a club to take a chance on him.

No joke, how big a shop window is the Audi Cup (aired on ITV4, no less)?

I remember his debut away to Boro. Came on with about 15 to go. Looked really promising on the break and i thought we'd unearthed a gem...

Well all the clubs in Europe do use itv4 as their main scouting channel.

Ha. Well at least it got aired somewhere! Leave or stay, I’d be really surprised if he features much for us going forward but then crosses like that won’t do him any harm I guess

 

[markt]

I think a few posters alluded to the fact he has glimpses of quality. I've seen him look bright off the bench a few times, but when I have seen him start he seems to go missing.

It is a big shame he hasn't kicked on and I can only assume he hasn't shown the consistency in training that Poch would want. Would hope to be able to get £15m for him though looking at some of the prices for rank average players these days.

Well it was on one of the main TV channels here in Germany (ZDF), so you know, maybe someone from Schalke or HSV saw him?!

 

[Kaboul'sForehead]

So I don't know where else to put this, or even what it refers to, but it feels like it should be discussed loooolll

Is that his missus or a hooker? Damnnnnnn

It could be one of those 15 second adverts which plays before the main video.

It's not about being on ITV4, it's about playing vs. not playing. If the lad isn't playing how are other clubs going to get any feel for what he is capable of or how he might fit their requirements.

Minutes on the pitch is the best sort of advert for any player.

 

[belsunz]

Stoke. Surely they’ve got 12 million they need to give us for one of our (shit) players

They've already been Levy'd once by buying Wimmer for 18M though...

 

[DannyNZ]

Can’t help but wonder whether he has a decent agent, he’s a capable footballer and it shouldn’t be this hard to find him an alternative club.

Is it up to one clip now? ?

I got this mixed up with the post about N'jie
