Am I the only one that thinks Kaz will have a breakout season?

[The_Viper]

I think he could be one very bright long overdue spark this season. Heard and seen from a lot of places how up for it he seems to be this preseason. He's going to be a cracking player for us this season with 2 wingers for teams to play against IMO, something in my bones.



Yes I know we still need a winger, a center half and a striker.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

I hope you're right, but he's properly rubbish. Him and O'Grady, absolutely terrible and a waste of wages we could be paying to footballers of Championship standard.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

More likely to have a breakdown. He has never been quite the same since he broke his leg (or whatever it was). How old is he now? He can't make a career as an impact substitute indefinitely.

 

[jgmcdee]

We're going to need another winger regardless, as he still appears to be unable to last a full 90 minutes. And I'd hope that we're looking for one who is better than him than worse than him, which puts him back to being an impact sub. He's made it pretty clear that he doesn't like that role but does seem to be very suited to it.

 

[Bladders]

Yes, yes you are.

 

[Stat Brother]

I'll settle for a season of him not on his arse with his arms spread wide.

Yep.

He's not rubbish. He is a useful impact sub. He can go past players, and has a decent shot on him, but his end product isn't good enough. He's not rubbish though.

Stop taking him to Nandos and spiking his drink.

I hope you are right, believe me. Just one nagging doubt, though nothing to do with yourself. If others have spotted that he is really up for it this season, on the money that he is being paid, should he not have been up for it every other season.

 

[Iamapen15]

Without being cynical, he needs a good season to either get a new contract with us or more likely attract suitors for next year.

I can't go back to that place.

It took me so long to realise there's nothing on the menu I wasn't hungry any more.

 

[perseus]

I think so. He was chosen (rightly) as a starter against Sevilla. And he should start.

The trouble (up to now) he often is not on the same wavelength as our own players. It was shown again in the breakaway.

Yeah, because you were lost in Kaz's eyes.

 

[albionite]

Normally this time of year someone starts a thread that it's going to be finally CMS season. Never did happen.

Never know maybe this time it will come true

 

[GT49er]

Am I the only one that thinks Kaz will have a breakout season?

Possibly not the only one, but probably in a small minority.......

 

[Kosh]

More Likely to have the 'breakbeat' season set to record on BBC 4.

I stereotype of course.

Only joking - it is, after all, good for morale.

He signed a contract extension last January that takes him to summer 2018.

He has a lot of raw talent, but was rarely used by Gus - possibly due to being involved in a court case - and was usually only used as an impact sub by OG, albeit very effectively. Sami was the first manager to have used him as a regular starter, and I think that along with Lewis Dunk, he was the only player to come out of the first half of last season with any credit.

If one thing might help him, it'll be playing in a formation with 2 strikers to aim for in the box, particularly if one of them is a goal hanger like Hemed is supposed to be. Too many times in the past we've made it possible for a defence to have 2 men on him with very little else to distract them.

I'm not sure what is his best role? My tendency is at the start of the game to play him deeper. To start. And when he usually comes up as substitute I am apt to push him forward of we are chasing the game.

 

[WhingForPresident]

If he doesn't produce the goods this season, he has to go.

Really hope he does but I won't hold my breath.

 

[perseus]

I would play him a bit more centrally as well to get advantage of his change of direction and his ability with both feet.
