Watched Blackpool/SW last night just to see how Embo was doing, sad to say he looked little like the player he once promised to be.
Bit of an enigma is Embo, I often wondered why some were enthusiastic about him, then one moment of class, but I didn’t see it often enough. I am sure we have better.
Yes you are spot on , I first saw him in the England u21's ? in which he looked the box to box type midfielder we all dream about , full of energy and running, two footed and an eye for spectacular goals. Maybe that Embo will return one day, you never know , I hope so anyway even if it is not at the level once hoped for.
Nice,two-footed player,lots of skill.The problem seemed to be his lack of mobility.I'm hoping he can do well at Blackpool, a place he seems to feel comfortable.
He was excellent for us in the L1 promotion season - loads of crucial goals and assists. He was also very solid in the Championship season - goals again Luton and Wigan getting us vital points. 2 footed, good on set pieces.
Played in Saint Etienne's only game since he joined, a 1-0 win over Lille. He played the full game and according to their fans and match reports he played in the deepest midfield position and played well. Next game is Friday away at Nice.
Agree with this He was a good player for Sunderland, just a huge shame about his injury troubles whilst here
Ekwah booked whilst his team lose 7-0 away from home. He’ll be no miss that lad. No heart whatsoever.
Some result. Poor Pierre. The grass isn’t always greener but it could be his King Charlie Hurley moment?!
Ekwah needs the right set up to show his real worth imo, whether he ever gets it ? who knows, but I wish him well wherever he goes.
Nathan Bishop at Wycome is still injured. Matt Young still bench warming at Salford. Oliver Bainbridge still benched for Killie. Pembele was benched last week for Le Havre, they play today. Triantis has played the full 90 minutes in both his outings for Hibs. Hemir has made two appearances for Juventus reserves so far, totalling 51 minutes.
This is annoying. I hope we loaned him out with a guarantee of minutes. Utterly pointless loan otherwise
