Kpakio - some stats

Re: Kpakio - some stats

As supporters we want our team to win above all else but being entertained is good too. I like watching Kpakio play, it’s entertaining

Re: Kpakio - some stats

May be we need another stat the assist for the assist? It could be called the Hartley stat in honour of the person who identified it? :-)

It already exists. It's the key pass statistic.

I also feel that is where he will eventually end up. Bit of a stretch but Gareth Bale was similar player at his age and played at full back all be it on the left rather than right.

I am not predicting Kpakio will one day be sold for £85m to Real Madrid but I do believe he will be a star as a right winger

We better make sure we have a sell-on clause.

He needs to work on his heading, positioning, and keeping possession, but is a great prospect….possibly end up as a ‘wing back’.

Remember when you thought Deli Ali was a wing back.

positioning is definitely something that comes with experience - not sure he's ever going to be dominant in the air though, he may still grow a bit and fill out though which would help

Full back is a good position for a youngster to learn the game as everything is in front of you.

He'll end up further up the pitch. If he doesn't, then it'll be because he's absolutely brilliant as a wing back or his career has stalled. The best players play closer to the opposition goal.

What happened to him?

He's already a wing back.

This is true, I became best mates with a lot of opposition defenders and goalkeepers after spending so much time with them on the pitch!

He didn't have a head for heights. He changed his name to Alli and is currently a free agent. Last seen playing a single game for Como in March 2025 where he got a red carded, and I presume it didn't go very well afterwards! Other than that, I don't know very much about him.

Brilliantly talented player with a sad/troubled childhood, a lot of it gets covered here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66187943

I think he ended up in Italy but he's a free agent now

Plagiarist!
