Coulibaly

Bit surprised the Swiss window has been and gone now and he hasn’t joined someone there.

If we managed to get Traore a gig there, you’d have thought that after returning from Scandinavia that this would be a potential market that he could move to.

I think Cyprus (YorkBlade ?) has also closed now as has Romania.

Greece closes today and Turkey on Friday.

You’d think he’d be staying with us now, which makes you wonder why we extended his contract. We seem to be just paying his wages for the sake of it now.

As I mentioned earlier, if push came to shove I can well imagine Hampson and Blacker having more chance of game time.
 
How long does he have left on his contract with us? He seems to have been around forever, with so little input into the first team. Is he the lovechild of a prominent member of United World and we are looking after him, as a family member?

Hampson doesn't look quite at home in the current formation. I think his best position is as a 8 in a three man central midfield. He's good at making forward runs and is a goal threat from midfield. The U21s returned to 3-5-2 in their last match.

Hampson's not (currently) a great playmaker in a holding duo. Nor is he fast enough to be a long term answer as a wide forward in the current formation. He'll be hoping we'll at some point return to a three man central midfield.

Blacker is adapting well to central midfield, and Sam Aston has also impressed me when I've seen him, uses the ball very well. It seems the plan to let them two be our main duo in midfield for the U21s.

I told you all, he has the Jake Eastwood forever contract.
 
Like 100's before him he showed some talent , we took a chance but doesn't look like he's going to train on .
All clubs have to take a bit of a chance on players , sometimes they come off , many times not , some players are an enigma , great in training but can't perform in matches.
Hope the club and the lad find a resolution that works for all .

Thought he was going to Bearsnot?
 
What a colossal waste of money he's been. I get that he was a punt but surely it's obvious that he'll never be close to being good enough and has been for quite some considerable time - the few cameos he's had make that very clear.
The sooner he's moved on the better, even though the club will inevitably need to take a(nother) hit.

Thing is we've taken 'more than one chance' on him. I think he signed a new 3 yr contract earlier this year. You can only assume that was with the intention of getting a transfer fee for him as the likelihood of him establishing himself here looks slim to zero

Would Hampson be better in the no 10 role like O’Hare?

Worst player on the pitch in the Barnsley match by some distance. Anyone we were shopping him around to at the time presumably watched it, and that will have been the end of their interest.

Agreed and he hasn't kicked on under either Hecky or Wilder. The club he went on loan to clearly were not that keen to keep him either.

With hindsight we should have sold him for a reasonable fee to Beerschot when his stock was still a bit high, with a sell on clause.
 

Can anyone confirm when his contract expires ?
I've seen comments that it's in 6 months (yey !) and others say 3 years (nightmare).
 
I really saw something in this lad a couple of years ago. The way he shaped his body as he received the ball to give himself space (a bit like Arblaster does now), always seemed to create time for himself. Used the ball well, fairly athletic - I wondered why Hecky didn't use him more.
But his last two appearances have been woeful - worst player on the pitch against Baaarnsley, lost the ball more times than I care to remember.
He must be bossing it in training to even be in Wilder's thoughts.

Feels to me that the only reason he's still here is because Tom Davies is constantly injured. Still a way to go before Coulibaly is starting a league game but its only a couple of injuries and suspensions away (shudder).

Awful in both cup games and from what I've seen of him, I'm not sure what it is he's meant to be good at.
 
My source has never previously mentioned an outgoing, but today said, “He’s gone. His profile on the system isn’t there. This makes me think it’s a permanent move, not a loan, but I can’t be 100% as when Arblaster went on loan his profile wasn’t on the system either. This was an exception to the norm though”

Wilders thoughts? He can't even make the league game benches when we have injuries.

Gone where though?

Bit late in the window to be paying him up and releasing him, and if so why would we even have extended his deal?

He can only go to two places now, Turkey or Greece and the Greek window is almost over.

Turkey shuts on Friday.
