...And the tragic mess subsequently disagreeing with this post..

there is no need to be upset GIF
 
Of course he's good at playing football. Is he good enough though ? Based on this season....no.

22 goal involvements in 48 matches in his first season and a half in the prem, at 23 years old. Plus a lot of very good chances created this season that weren't converted, playing in a very defensive system.

Then there is the eye test.

Some people really allowed the shit season the team had to let themselves get carried away with the negativity. If you look objectively at Kulusevski, he's very very clearly good enough.

Everything you say about Kulu is subjective. Of course it is. If it wasn’t then the very professional people over at Juventus would never have let him go. Their fanbase don’t rate him either.

Eye test is different for every person. I find Kulu demonstrably unthreatening to watch. I think if I was a pro fullback I’d rather mark him than a winger with a low centre of gravity who can stand me up and beat me for pace.


And his stats are less impressive when subjected to some scrutiny.

One good season followed by a bad one is not conclusive. I am open minded though. I have certainly not written him off.
It will be interesting how Posto uses him.

We've been through this.

One of us is going to be wrong.

I reckon it's going to be you.
 
''According to the Evening Standard, Spurs are pursuing a deal to sign Steve Biko FC centre-forward Adama Bojang ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.''


Steve Biko FC :levyeyes:

Behold! Kane replacement incoming!


Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly one of a number of teams now in the race to add a talented young prospect to their squad during the summer transfer window.

What's the latest on Adama Bojang to Tottenham Hotspur?
According to the Evening Standard, Spurs are pursuing a deal to sign Steve Biko FC centre-forward Adama Bojang ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.

The report claims that fellow Premier League sides Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Liverpool, and Wolves are also keeping tabs on the teenager, who is currently playing in The Gambia.

It states that Lens, Eintracht Frankfurt, and RB Leipzig are providing competition for his signature from outside of England and that there are also teams outside of Europe who are interested in the 19-year-old marksman.

He would be a cheap option for Ange Postecoglou to swoop for this summer as Steve Biko FC are said to be demanding a fee of just £2.6m for the attacker.

The former Celtic head coach has technically made one signing since making the switch from Scotland after Dejan Kulusevski put pen to paper on a permanent deal following an 18-month loan spell but this second move may be one for the future, rather than with a view to him making an immediate impact.

Who is Adama Bojang?
Bojang is a 6 foot 3 striker who has caught the eye whilst playing for his country at youth level and could be an intriguing signing for Spurs to make.

He has plundered six goals in eight appearances for The Gambia's U20 side and was named in the Team of the Tournament for the U20 African Cup of Nations, in which the talented teen scored four goals.


The 19-year-old titan, who has been described as the 'Gambian Hurricane', revealed his footballing inspiration earlier this year:

"I want to be like Cristiano Ronaldo. Because he's my favourite when it comes to the big name players.

"I've been watching his videos on YouTube after games. He posts his workout there so sometimes I try to watch those and motivate myself through that."

He has been compared to another former Premier League number nine, though, as talent scout Jacek Kulig named Tammy Abraham, formerly of Chelsea, as a similar type of player to the "complete" Gambian dynamo.

Kulig listed pace, movement, and finishing as some of Bojang's biggest strengths and rated his potential at 8/10, which suggests that there is a promising prospect there who could be a star if he lives up to the hype.

Whilst this may not be a deal that makes a significant impact on Tottenham's chances of achieving their goals in all competitions next season, the signing of the £2.6m hotshot could be an exciting move by the club that could benefit them in the future.
He was mentioned in an article I put in the players to watch out for thread recently:


🇬🇲 ST: Adama Bojang (2004, Steve Biko FC)

Our revelation in the tournament, especially in the eyes of European clubs, Adama Bojang’s performances at the Under-20 World Cup all but guaranteed him a big move to Europe in the coming summer.

We already covered his Osimhen-like athletic talents in our MD1 round-up, and they’re primary among the reasons he’s so cherished by European elites. But Bojang brought another dynamic to his game in Argentina: the ability to work off team-mates, especially with tight one-twos around the penalty area. Meanwhile, a little closer to goal, his ball striking on his left foot looks outstanding.

Steve Biko FC :levyeyes:
Never heard of the guy. He could turn out to be absolute pants but here’s the thing: we berate the scouts for not unearthing a Calceido but when we’re linked with an unknown we moan about the fact that we’re linked with unknowns. It’s pure bipolar behavior.
