I wouldn't write KEA off just yet. Stan had an awesome debut but then did very little for 2 seasons before again re-emerging as a Premier League quality player. KEA could still come good, it's just that in these circumstances we don't have the luxury of players having time to settle.

KEA needs to put some weight on.He tackles with his arms.Watch him it's funny.
There is a lot of work, but I am much more convinced that he is the man for the job than anyone else right now, and I don't buy into Lerner not being interested. His actions last summer, which as his latest are what I will judge him on into this window, were positive. As such lets see how he backs Lambert this winter. If he doesn't, then obviously we will be in trouble.

I think a comparison between KEA and Stan is very accurate; when they get a chance to sit as a holding man, breaking up possession and keeping the ball they are excellent. Stan was under-appreciated for years at Villa and I fear that KEA might suffer the same fate. He's a great footballer and he will come good. Our problems lie elsewhere if you ask me.....
Quote from: N'Zimidy on December 27, 2012, 06:35:58 PMIn response to the thread title I hope that Lambert does the complete opposite of what some people in this thread have suggested to bring in the motherboard of crap old players like Parker, Lampard, Arshavin or even worse; Yakubu. All we need is an attacking midfielder, a central midfielder and if the right player is available, a left back. We should definitely keep with the ethos and get in players no older than twenty five and certainly not from the Premier League. I'd much rather finish 16th with our group of young players who will improve rather than a bunch of expensive ageing players finishing 15th. If you think Parker and lampard are crap I'd hate to know what you think of our players!
