2020/21 Niels Nkounkou

[Frenk]

Looks like a winger to me, wasted at the back.

 

[Del-boy]

Good going forward. Have to see how he gets on against better teams defensively.

 

[Terrarian]

This kid is going places, absolutely astounded at how good he's been

 

[Terrarian]

Safe to say we don't need another LB anyway

£250k compensation fee from Marseille
These players are out there.
In Neils and Anthony Gordon we have two players with a lot of potential.

Left hand side looks in good hands for the foreseeable definitely

Oh god, hate it when this happens. Like when loads of people wanted Bilyaletdinov to play in the middle.

A good attacking full-back doesn't necessarily make a good winger.

If Carlo says he's a left back, then he's a left back.

 

[Jim Hopper]

I don’t think it particularly matters if he plays wing back, our left back spends most of the time in the oppositions final third anyways. He seems like he has the capability to play anywhere down that left wing though.

 

[Quadvod]

Gives us an option to shift to wingbacks and play Digne left of the three centre backs should we ever need to

 

[Bob Latchford]

Roberto Carlos

I called him the French Roberto Carlos last night.
I watched RCs debt for Brazil at Goodison many years ago (think it was his debut anyway)..... Nkounkou is fast, powerful, direct and he has an end product. From what we’ve seen it’s fair to say he’s composed and mature beyond is years and he also seems to understand the game. At 19 his defending should improve but so should all his other attributes.

A very exciting talent that other teams usually sign!

 

[Prevenger17]

PLAY HIM EVERYWHERE

 

[yeatston]

His attacking ability is there for all to see regardless of the standard of opposition..ë
I would love to see him now go & take care of a good winger defensively & then he confirm to all he is the real deal

 

[Nymzee]

Reminds me of early Benjamin Mendy. Let’s hope he doesn’t turn out like him.

 

[Professor Toffee]

GOT writ large, he looks good, very good, against Salford and Fleetwood. Let's not build him up to knock him down

 

[Jokerdan]

If only we can start getting players on the end of those crosses he's gonna rip up defences. Fast, uncompromising, got vision, good control, talks to his team mates, gets back as fast as he gets forward Looks an absolute steal. Can see him converting into a Viera- type player in the coming seasons and nothing much wrong with that.
