GasPed Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 44 minutes ago, ag futbol said: I don’t know. My memory of vintage Bradley is fuzzy but feel like that’s not the profile. Bradley hasn’t weighted a single ball into space in his career as well as the one Kone played last week. I’d say someone like Moussa Sissoko. Progressive ball carrier. Plays box-to-box. This is not a prediction... ...but I get some Yaya Toure vibes from Kone. No, he's not nearly the man-among-boys force yet that Toure was, but the same confidence on the ball, the same wicked right foot, the same vision/passing range and box-to-box ability - I mean, who knows...

toontownman Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 He has a sneaky pacey dribble on him which makes sense as he was a left winger until now. Excited to see what he looks like with better players around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excited to see what he looks like with better players around him. Good eye. He was exactly that. I was watching his clips on youtube from club nationals two years ago and he definitely was a left winger cutting inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of us here knew about him 4 months ago, let alone rated him enough that we felt he deserved a senior call? They could have made contact after his debut, it’s not hard to make a call.

Not a bad shout. Reminds me of Pogba in some respects. Obviously not at that level, but he’s well rounded, technically gifted, and has some real athleticism/pace for the position. costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not the same ceiling, but style of play and type of impact on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodgkiss Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I feel like Kone is more like Tammy Abraham and Okello is like Pogba. Great players to have!!! nolando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kone isn’t a striker tho. How would that comparison work? Kone is more of a offensive denis zakaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what club he was playing for, but St. John's looked to be the NL rep. Knowing what it's like to play for that club I imagine they were pretty happy with the result. It's pretty remarkable to be playing at that youth level just a few years ago and now being selected for WCQ. That's arguably a bigger leap than David made.

Fullback Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Hard not to buy into this guy’s potential. So calm and smooth on the ball and looks to have some high end athleticism too. Could be a staple in our midfield for 10 years The Beaver 2.0 and dyslexic nam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kacbru Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Nothing but positives for him from today's game. Great debut. But a bit of perspective. CR weren't pressuring and we only really saw him (and the rest of the team) in the final third.

AvroArrow Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Guys, guys, guys, he came on against a team that was basically sitting with 11 men on the 18 yard box so he had a lot of space. He didn't make any mistakes, which is great but lets temper things a bit here. An Observer, Atlantic, toontownman and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Approve My Account Pls Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 He was absolutely sharp and incisive with every move he made. Played with real presence on the ball, exciting stuff. Would love to see him start with Eustaquio and Hutchinson IT20062021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
