His competition was BJ. So that will hopefully change soon.

None of that scanning is going to happen. None of it happened before we signed him.
It's a stupid purchase for me, as in one we did not need to make in order to make us a better team.
And for me, as this was nearly definitely a Frank signing, I think that works against any so-called vision or template for the future.
Kudus could score a worldie (hopefully tomorrow), and then misplace or not see an easy pass. It can't be coached at his age.
You simply buy Kudus as part of a good squad, but not as a regular starter if you want to be a top side.
Yeah said before he doesn’t look like a right winger to me. Angles are wrong and he just gets boxed
A twenty second google. And it’ll show his preferred positions. The ones he played well enough in to get moves.
So why doesn’t our manager know, or do anything about it?
He seems to be a player best suited for the final third - receive a quick ball edge of box then dribble past an opposing player then take a quick shot.
Currently however we’ve pretty much got him playing as a box to box right sided midfielder, which clearly doesn’t suit him and is asking too much of him as he lacks the passing ability for this role.
The less Kudus is having to pick up the ball on the half way line, the better.

God knows
Shadydan
was arguing his best position is a right winger as were others too.
Usually tries to go past one too many...
ATM he looks to be playing like football is a hobby not his living.
I blame Frank because currently he is our most important player and is undroppable.
Kudus hasn't been ruined or whatever by Frank.
He might not be being played in his preferred position,but even if he was that doesn't necessarily translate to being better for us.
Kudus is limited. That's it.
That he regularly starts for us and is seen as our most potent threat is the worry, because he is nowhere as good as many seem or seemed to think.
The only player in the last decade West Ham bought that we definitely missed out on is Bowen.

I'd like him at the very least to cut inside and shoot, otherwise I see no point in him playing on the right.
Frank said, "Mo is going for a scan at 1pm to clarify the issue. Unfortunately I don't have a big update on him. Most likely (he is) ruled out for Bournemouth (game)."
Let's hope it's not the Spurs injury curse and he's out for the next 3 months... :/

He'd be fine on the right if he weren't expected to be playing on the touchline.
I don't know what it is with this club, we consistently fail to take the most glaringly obvious courses of action, under successive managers we've played "inverted" wingers, but the ask of them has been to stay out as wide as possible get to the byline to lump crosses into the box.
We wasted Son's final year at the club and made him look useless by doing so, we've torpedoed Tel and RKMs start to life at the club by doing it, and on the other flank we've done the same to Kudus.
These guys should be playing narrower with the fullbacks going wide of them, creating space for them to choose between cutting in for a shot on their favoured foot, a ball to the fullback to cross, or an inswinging cross from their stronger foot.
Instead we've got strikers stranded out on the left wing who never shoot, and Kudus on the right cutting back and forth 5 times over before deciding to lump it into a packed box on his wrong foot.
I'm so fed up of this club.
Hes a class player that is consistently getting double marked. We rely on him too much and if we had a similar type of player on the other side we'd see the best of him.
The shitty plastic throne is Spurs, think West Ham got him an actual Wooden West African one.
Until this is rectified i don't see him as being a massive miss...... He's not even a reliable outball anymore.
Quite keen to see a Tel / Xavi / Odo experiment tomorrow. Logically it ought to force us to mix our game up.
Yep, same here. There are quite a few aspects of his game (strength on the ball, ability to beat his man, good at winning back possession) which remind me a lot of Dembele - who also started as a winger / forward.
Played alongside a more creative playmaker like Maddison etc, it might play to his strengths and minimise his weaknesses. A bit like how Dembele had Ericsson there for a simple offload, rather than being the one everyone was relying on to put in pin perfect passes and through balls.
Hopefully he won’t be out for too long in any case.
Ditto.
But as an 8, not a 10..... His key attribute is his running/dribbling with the ball. There's no space for that at CAM.
