Current Player Thread Frankie Kent

Hope he does well for us.

 

[Belgium Yellow]

Presumably a back up player. Or being more positive, a ball playing defender to go along side Helik. Not at all sure about this one.

 

[5aside]

Welcome Frankie. Hope you do well

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Oxford Utd sign Frankie De Keersmaecker

 

[sideshowrob]

He would have known Ramsey during his spell as an Arsenal youth player.

 

[Boris]

First player we've had named after a county since Will Lankshear

Why, whats wrong with him?

 

[unification]

We get rid of an unwanted player to Hearts and get one that we want in return!

He has a good League 1 pedigree so seems a reasonable shout.

In isolation, he makes sense. Let’s see what we can sign to play alongside him.

 

[battman]

Can’t say I’ve seen anything of this player, but the biggest thing to take away is that he’s comfortable in possession whilst also being an aggressive defender. Last season it felt like we had to choose between either or, and considering we’ll have a lot more possession this season, it’s a valuable quality to have in a CB

 

[MiddleBartonYellow]

Like Bobby Moore in his prime apparently.

 

[Gordon]

Good signing, proven at L1 level, decent age for a CB. Does this mean one of Helik or Brown might be off?

Lock up your jewellery.

Why so? We need back up/depth since Davies and Makusso returned.

Don’t t you mean named after a certain Green Councillor

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Kevin Cornwall?

 

[Older Shotts]

Kevin Cornwall?

Used to work with Kevin Cornwell. Lovely guy.

Welcome Roy Kent! (Ted Lasso)

 

[SamLongSlidingTackle]

Kevin Cornwall?

No this is Frankie Kent. Says so in the thread title. Some people, pshh.

[Mutu]

Roy Kent had his own song in Ted Lasso. Maybe we can pinch it!

Hearts fans mostly say he's got no quality on the ball

I will be worried if think Findlay is better on the ball.

 

[Mutu]

I’ve just remembered Roy Kent song…

“he’s here, he’s there, he’s every fookin where,
Roy Kent , Roy Kent,

Can’t remember the rest!

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Why, whats wrong with him?

Give it time, no one has heard of him yet so he is still currently classed as 'not good enough'. Give it a few games of sitting on the bench and he will become 'should be starting every game'.

Ed Waldron talking s**t again, apart from last seasons cup game we haven't played Colchester since 2003

 

[Manorlounger]

Will be interested to see what this new signing brings to the party. Defensive cover, no doubt. Young talent, no. The club have presented him as a character, strong team player and of a good pedigree. Will wait and see before making up my mind. Both Ramsay and Waldron spoke highly of him (which of course they would) but let's see where he plays and when and how well.

errr....I hate to tell you but.....

Maybe he meant Peterborough since he played 7 times against us while there.

 

[Shaun Rice]

Apparently, he is a commanding, physical, and rugged right sided centre back with strong leadership qualities.
Booming voice and natural authority organisation of the back line. Cult hero at Tynecastle with a Frankie Kent is magic song. Also has a positive dressing room presence.
Their fans seem to worried about replacing him rather than being pleased his gone!
So looks like a great signing.

I would like us to be solving our forward line. But happy to make a signing.
