Ryan Kent - thoughts?

[Main Stand]

These are the sort of numbers Kent should be getting for us for £7m

Aye, said that myself the other day.

Kent’s numbers were good last season, he normally creates something even when off form and works hard - nothing coming off for him and he looks disinterested.

I think he is unhappy at being told to stay wide a d wait for the ball. Shoulders have dropped since new team have come in.

My Mrs works with additional support needs children and she said a while ago that he seems bi-polar, if he plays well he is the best player on the park and if he plays bad he doesn't turn up.

Genuinely one of the most mental things I’ve ever read on here.

Last season was his only decent season numbers wise and that wee Israeli has scored more and assisted more in January than Kent did the full of last season.

Our scouts need to be heading out to places like Isreal and Asia, we seem to stick to places like Croatia, Belgium and the championship in England.

Pretty sure they got wanyama from Israel made a good profit on him and will likely make a good profit on this winger.

7 million we paid for him and bar the odd good game he has been a let down the vast majority of that time.

Doesn't score enough, doesn't assist either.

We would lose money selling him now as well, has to be dropped for a while to try and get something out of him.

At his first training session with GVB he was doing little fancy flicks. Ron Maakay was close by and told him “Keep it simple. Tricks are for the circus”. On Wednesday, he put us under pressure a few times in the first-half in our half of the pitch by doing step-overs when surrounded by Celtic players and losing the ball easily. He did improve in the second-half by being more direct but still turned back and took the easy option a lot. The one time he did cross the ball it almost produced a goal by Roofe but Carter-Vickers got a slight touch off the top of his head. The cross was very similar to the one he delivered at Pittodrie recently that gave us Hagi’s goal. He needs to do more of that. I still believe in him.

 

[Sunnyvale_Loyal]

Talented player but he's so off form, sadly.

 

[Pirlo]

Agreed.

There was a situation where he tried to accelerate away and practically fell over the ball.

Just having a poor season in general, will be interested to see if he signs a new deal - even if the plan is to move him on in the summer.

People were worried Gerrard would come back for him, LOL. He’s just signed Coutinho, why would he be looking at some 1 good game in 10 SPL star?

Wis thinking the Same lol lol

Sakala must be really pushing him for his place in the managers mind. Is there anyone from the other night guaranteed a start against Hearts?

 

[Bluetou]

Dont think GvBs tactics are helping him, obviously being told to hug the wing and when he did get the ball the other night he had two men on him right away with no support, was better 2nd half when Bassey was giving him a dig out. He's much better when given a sort of roaming roll but that's not a thing GvB will do.
