Kaboul

Well just woke up from nights, and I see my thread looks like it was right.
That Earthquake in London must be pretty bad if he wants to join little old us!

I do rate him as a player though his injury record is a worry.
Here's a write up about him 2 years ago:-



What can Younes Kaboul bring to
Tottenham Hotspur upon his return from injury?

The 27-year-old Frenchman has been sidelined since just the second game of the season with a knee injury and Spurs have sorely missed his presence in the heart of their defence.

Fortunately for the North Londoners, they have had the impressive Jan Vertonghen instilled into their defence, a summer signing from Ajax, but the loss of Kaboul has undoubtedly been a bitter blow.

He originally joined Tottenham in 2007, but stayed for just a season before moving onto Portsmouth. Since his return in 2009-10, for £9.5m – when he played a key role in Tottenham getting into the Champions League – he has shown the true player that he is.

His power, determination and commitment on the football field has resulted in the Moroccan-turned-Frenchman becoming a crowd favourite at White Hart Lane and he has earned himself a reputation as a fine defender, even entering the France set-up.

Another attribute to Kaboul’s game which many fail to appreciate is his pace.

It was revealed recently that he was the quickest player in the Spurs squad over a distance of 100m – and remember that said squad includes numerous speed merchants, such as Gareth Bale, Aaron Lennon and Kyle Walker.



If he can stay fit he will probably be the best centre half in our squad.
The only downside is, like Graham when he had a pop at us all them years ago, players need to keep their stupid fecking mouths shut, cause it could come back and bite them in the ARSEnal.

There's one word that keeps cropping up time and again with these new signings. PACE!!!
 
Is this potential signing a result of losing out on Lombaerts or were we in for the both of them? Because we have certainly reacted quickly after losing out on our first choice target in the case of the former. I suppose it shows that we at least have a plan B, something that I have not be convinced on us having over the past few seasons.
 
Two cbs I don't want is Kaboul and Evans, One is injury prone and cheeky little **** while the other is barely championship standard who's been carried his whole career.

Don't mix your words fella, tell us what you really think of them both!! :emoticon-0102-bigsm

On a serious note if I had to choose I'd go for Evans but I think he's off to Everton.

Would rather Vlaar over both of them like.

I think Kaboul is the goer like, by far the better of the two, but his injuries and past comments annoy the **** out of me. Evens wouldn't be the best CB in our squad let alone Evertons, they're welcome to him.

I'd have gone for Vlaar but it's a clear we wanted someone who can play the ball more comfortably. Still say Rodwell could do that.

Morning from California. Sunderland haven't hung around on Younes Kaboul anyway! ‪#‎safc‬

@YoungSunEcho
Expect Kaboul to go through possibly as early as today. Then all Sunderland's focus on creative midfielder [HASHTAG]#safc[/HASHTAG]

@YoungSunEcho
Expect Sunderland to go for a striker later in the window, but attacking mid is a big priority [HASHTAG]#safc[/HASHTAG]

Congerton if you're reading this, Kaboul is rubbish, Johnny Evans is by far a better option.

Go for Evans you da man!

So sunderland buying past it center halfs again I see. Never ****ing learn do we.

I see this signing as penny pinching again from short.

I bet our last two signings are loans so our summer spending will be less than 20m.

How many penalties did he give away last season then? And free kicks that led to goals?

Browns getting on, but to call kaboul, who is known for his unreliability, more reliable than brown is a comment I couldn't agree with.

Brown will never complete a full season ever again ......... if you think that's reliability then fair enough <ok>

It's so predictable it loses any slight impact it may have had ....... it's a default response from attention seeking 'realists' <doh>
