Yilmaz should be nowhere near next Saturday, so give him a few minutes during the week 2nd Flute, King Jela, graeme_4 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Thought he'd maybe get some minutes today, but imagine that King coming on changed that. But I'm sure he'll start midweek. 2nd Flute 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a young boy, playing in a new team, with new tactics, in a new country. He’ll get the 90 minutes on Tuesday I’d have thought. He’s done ok lately .Don’t think il ever be able to trust him fully again though .The game at the piggery and the first leg in Belgium were outrageously bad performances. falkirkNS 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m the same. You just know he’s due a total drop off in performance and confidence at any moment unfortunately.

Kent is the perfect example of somebody who’s form can disappear,But his willingness and drive are ever present .Even when out of form I have no misgivings when he’s named on the team sheet . caps13gb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the game he ran away from mcgregor I was in a huff for about 4 days. Patched going to see IDLES the next night even though I’d booked the time off work. Never forgive him for making me miss it I’d quite happily sell Kent tbh. Doesn’t produce anywhere near enough for the money he cost us. magic8ball 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends what the offer for Kent was .Doesn’t matter how much he cost .What matters to me is how difficult it would be to get a replacement of a similar level . I know stats are huge in the modern game .But for me he gives us something that stats don’t really ever show .

If we can’t get a replacement who scores and assists more I for the cash we could get for him, plus the CL money, then the scouting team need their jotters. Hate to compare us to that mob, but they got two wingers that score and assist regularly for about the same money as Kent in jota and abada.

Just checked and abada cost them nearly £4m So I’m not quite right. He did produce plenty of goals last season though.

stevemac 5,073 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Still a bit unsure about him tbh, he does look a good prospect but the best attributes of bassey were he was a massive unit, with decent pace and strong on the ball, decent at getting up the park. No cunt was bullying him aff the ball, can't imagine yilmaz going through any cunt tbh. Hopefully he fulfills his potential at us though, does look like a technically gifted attacking full back.

OrangeRab 3,025 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Losing Bassey we lost a lot of CB attributes. Height, aggression etc. Barisic is somewhere in between. Bit bigger than Yilmaz. Hopefully Yilmaz is better at overlapping. We know every team just double marks Kent now if Barisic won’t go beyond him. But too late to have Yilmaz near the OF game. falkirkNS 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouting doesn’t always work .Players could get scouted to the max .You never know how they will fit in until they actually get here and get in the team . We have all seen it ourselves over the years.Players turn up with great expectations but just don’t work out and there are others who fit in better than expected .Kent himself a good example .Never did anything of note until he came here .

KeyserSoze 14,694 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I watched Barasic closely yesterday because I need to change my mind on him. He very rarely took on his man. Kent in front of him was gagging for a ball down the line but seldom got it. With Kent in possession he overlaps and whips in the odd cross. He’s the most frustrating player we have as he is scared to take on his man and set up an attack. More often than not that’s left to Tav. Id like to see more of Yilmaz and I haven’t changed my mind on Barasic Harsh maybe but he’s not my cup of tea falkirkNS, KingKaiJohansen, Amokachi and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time it gets to Kent the other lot have all shuffled over and we’re going up a dead end. Ironically, the best alternative I’ve ever seen featured van Bronckhorst himself. Check out Wallace’s goal against Dortmund which many consider our best ever goal in Europe. For Barisic and Kent, read Numan and Albertz. But a midfielder (Gio) comes across to join in and the dynamic changes. If we’re attacking down the left perhaps Lawrence should be more closely involved to help defeat the inevitable doubling-up.
