Karim Rekik

[dachoosen1]

I think he should be given a shot! He is only 19 centre backs don't peak till their late 20's! He is still developing and learning his craft and if he stay here he will simply be replacing Lescott. I think he is solid could do with be abit more aggressive instead of backing off but has shown plenty of promise.

I can see him becoming a big hit in serie A with its more defensive style, his way of trying to read the game and not over commiting would go well there.

As for us I think our current set up exposes the cbs quite a lot and I don't think it would suit his skill set. This isnt a slight on the lad, only Kompany has seemed to have adapted well to this new style (and he's the best cb going) but I think throwing him in the deep end might do more harm than good, another loan next yeae to the serie a would do wonders for him

Provisional 33 man squad.

Well we have announced a pre season tour of the US. He can get plenty of game time there, & you can all marvel at his talent.

My prediction for the match thread for his first game..

'Dont' be too hard on the lad, he's only 19.'

'How can you blame him for that ? It wasn't his fault 'x'should have been covering... '

Etc.

Hold on, are you trying to say you don't rate him?

You should have said something before.

What kind of a miserable turd has nothing better to do than write off young players playing for the team you are supposed to support? If you don't rate them, fair enough, but you seem like you actually want Rekik to fail just so you can sit behind your keyboard with some pathetic smug grin while you type, one-handed probably, at how you were so right about everything as you revel in someone else's misery.

Nah, was just bored.

Like shooting fish in a barrel.

I do think Rekik will get his opportunity pre season though & then people can judge exactly how he looks compared to the standard we need.

I expect him to be terrible, but if he looks good, I'll say so & I'll be absolutely delighted.

I doubt many will admit if he is awful though, as those who were bulling Savic up still refuse to admit he was bobbins.

Just for the record, when we first signed Rekik, I thought he was one of the best prospects I've seen.

So... Do you rate him or not?
