Kaba's contract

Re: Kaba's contract

I don't think you'd fancy our chances against a Helen Keller XI.

We've a squad that's been underperforming in a league of a higher standard than the Danish Superliga.

If there's one thing I hate is people using Helen Keller's name in jest.
Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968) was an American author, disability rights advocate, political activist and lecturer. Born in West Tuscumbia, Alabama, she lost her sight and her hearing after a bout of illness when she was 19 months old. She then communicated primarily using home signs until the age of seven, when she met her first teacher and life-long companion Anne Sullivan. Sullivan taught Keller language, including reading and writing. After an education at both specialist and mainstream schools, Keller attended Radcliffe College of Harvard University and became the first deaf blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in the United States.

He’d be a worse purchase than Lex Immers

Immers scored 0 goals for us in 13 games. Kaba has scored 8 in 15. Please explain your rationale. It makes no sense whatsoever to me.

He scored 5 in 15

That sounds like a recipe for disaster

Like a points deduction kind of disaster

One year left, doubtful he'd sign a new one having received more attention being here, plus expressed desire to play in English structure.

If we're not under an embargo and can buy players, can't see them holding out for too much given so little time left, plus can sign pre-contract in Jan and leave for nothing in summer. Some income better than none. If we are under an embargo, Tans other club could theoretically buy him then loan him to us.

That’s exactly how we got Zohore. We were under a transfer ban for financial irregularities at the time and Kortrijk (Tans club) bought him and loaned him to us on the last day of the season. That’s often why owners have more than one club - to massage FFP figures and avoid situations like ours.

On reflection, they won't get much for him.

If he could play the position his physique suggests then they would, but he can't play up top on his own, he is a turnover machine. He gets away with it because he can score goals and that is a valuable commodity but his hold-up play is worse than Harris and Watters.

So you are playing a variation of 442, which is great as I am old school but the new generation of managers don't like to be seen doing it.

Most media quote €2m -€3m as his transfer fee. I think a top half Championship club would pay more than that for him.
