Given his alleged £7m fee, he hasn't done even close to enough.71% seem to agree.
I think without him we'd have won nothing
Buying better players around him would be a better strategy.
You’re at it.That’s divided, yeah? Hence why it’s referred to as a split
He has played a 137 league games and scored 28 goals and assisted 29.
That is horrendous for an attacker
he was great in europe but we play the majority of our games in scotland where he isnt contributing enough.He’s our best player. Watch the Europa League highlights and tell me you have faith in the new Wright or Matondo.
Ryan Giggs wasn't playing in Scotland ffsRyan Giggs played over 250 games in his last 10 years and never scored more than 5 in a season.
Everton spent £22m on Dwight McNeil after he scored 7 goals in 143 games.
Bonkers to only focus on stats.
Still considered a quality player - but his stats are shite.Ryan Giggs wasn't playing in Scotland ffs
Giggs was playing in the midfield. He wasn’t playing as an attacker, so it’s really a worthwhile comparison. Kent is an attacker, his output for a very expensive attacker is crap to be perfectly honest.Still considered a quality player - but his stats are shite.

They’re both left wingers.Giggs was playing in the midfield. He wasn’t playing as an attacker, so it’s really a worthwhile comparison. Kent is an attacker, his output for a very expensive attacker is crap to be perfectly honest.
He got more assists than the likes of Muller and Mbappe last season?They’re both left wingers.
Kent got more assists than anyone in Europe’s top 12 leagues last season and is our top assister this season.
How crap.

But he didn’t play as a left winger for several years so it’s completely redundant.They’re both left wingers.

Nowhere near it, i just checked. Not even in the top 25.Was a stat I heard, but seems he didn’t - not far off though. Good company to be in - hardly a stick to beat him with. 19 assists is pretty impressive in anyone’s view. I don’t know why you wouldn’t want that option in the squad.

Bolded parts are complete bollocks, don’t know where you got that from. Borna has more assists and only one less goal so far this season, he’s a fecking left back! Last season Thomas Müller managed one less assist on the Bundesliga as Kent managed in all competitions. So let’s stop making shite up.
Fair enough. Does that mean 19 isn’t good enough?Nowhere near it, i just checked. Not even in the top 25.
Borna has 11 this season. Kent has 9.Why wouldn’t you want a guy in the squad who assisted 19 goals last season and has assisted 9 this season?
Borna has 7 assists. Same as Kent. And 2 less goals. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/scottish-premiership/top-scorers/assists
“So let’s stop making shite up.”
The link shows both have 7 in the league. Ultimately, it’s nice to have two players who regularly assist.Borna has 11 this season. Kent has 9.
Heed your own advice and maybe fact check this stuff first or stop believing whoever telling you this nonsense.
Fair enough. Does that mean 19 isn’t good enough?
Still a good option to have isn’t he?

For about £35k per week on what would likely be a 3 or 4 year contract, with 10 league assists and only 2 league goals playing against dross nearly every week?Fair enough. Does that mean 19 isn’t good enough?
Still a good option to have isn’t he?
Probably not, but I’d prefer to have Kent, Sakala and 2 others in the squad than Sakala, Wright, Matondo and 1 other.Do you honestly, seriously believe that his form over last season and a half warrants an extension and a pay rise?
Probably not, but I’d prefer to have Kent, Sakala and 2 others in the squad than Sakala, Wright, Matondo and 1 other.
Kent’s wages for 2 years is the fee we paid for Matondo. I don’t think giving him an extension is as much of a big deal as being made out.
So half the fee for Tillman. I know where I’d rather spend the moneyProbably not, but I’d prefer to have Kent, Sakala and 2 others in the squad than Sakala, Wright, Matondo and 1 other.

I don’t care what other players did. I’m only interested in what our players do.Ryan Giggs played over 250 games in his last 10 years and never scored more than 5 in a season.
Everton spent £22m on Dwight McNeil after he scored 7 goals in 143 games.

So you are saying for an attacker who has only scored 28 goals in 4/5 years is ok?Close to 60 goal contributions in 137 league matches is nowhere near 'horrendous'. In fact, Naismith had similar despite playing a number of games up front, and nobody would have said he was a poor player for us. How many assists should he have had in his time here from missed sitters by strikers too? I'd say at least 5 per season.
You can say that about everyone in the squad who isn’t Tav or Morelos. Doesn’t mean our squad isn’t better with him in it.I don’t care what other players did. I’m only interested in what our players do.
For our investment his return has been very poor.
Exactly. So the thread is about should Kent get a new deal. Going by his stats absolutely not. His return simply is not good enough for a player of his supposed calibreYou can say that about everyone in the squad who isn’t Tav or Morelos. Doesn’t mean our squad isn’t better with him in it.

Stats can be skewed completely without appropriate context.Exactly. So the thread is about should Kent get a new deal. Going by his stats absolutely not. His return simply is not good enough for a player of his supposed calibre
I don’t think thats close to true. Outstanding in a season where we won the league and ripped team after team apart on the way to seville paying back his fee with room to spare.I don’t care what other players did. I’m only interested in what our players do.
For our investment his return has been very poor.
If you can find an epl player who cost 7 million (or less) who was bought with a few years left on their contract who is better, let me knowGiven his alleged £7m fee, he hasn't done even close to enough.
He played away mostly tbh.Ryan Giggs wasn't playing in Scotland ffs
If you actually sit down and look at how much he’ll have cost us IF he signs a 3/4 year deal on £35,000 a week or more, then it is eye opening.For about £35k per week on what would likely be a 3 or 4 year contract, with 10 league assists and only 2 league goals playing against dross nearly every week?
Not really to be honest. I mean he’d be a good option if he was on a fraction of the money he’s on and willing sit on the bench a lot of the time.
So you are saying for an attacker who has only scored 28 goals in 4/5 years is ok?
We don't need to spend 7 million to replace 3 goals a season.unless we’re planning on spending another £7m to replace him.
Whats he delivered?If you can find an epl player who cost 7 million (or less) who was bought with a few years left on their contract who is better, let me know
E.g. Patterson 12 mil, Eduard 9 mil, bassey 23 mil, frimpong 10 mil
For where he was at, his contract, his age and what he's delivered.7 mil was a pretty fair price.
But now he's a free transfer effectively. I'd take him on a free

Think it’s you that needs the reality check…Real Madrid?Think a few need a reality check, if he performed like we all know what hes capable off week in week out then he’d be at Real Madrid.
