Got a look of a young Frank Rijkaard about him.
Willy Kambwala
- Thread starter Adnan
- Start date
Can he play for the first team? I hear we could do with a player or two
Rather pay (4 mil is including future bonuses I think) than missing on another Upamecano...
Wait till he puts on a United shirt, he'll turn into a Frank Spencer.
Yeah, agree with that.

Size of him 
I have a feeling it will be fun to watch our u23s in 15-18 months
Welcome Willy. See you in a few years time if you might make it into 1st team.
Bye.
Bye.
Nice! We finally got a huge French centre back. Can’t wait to see what he’s like on the ball. What I dont get is why aren’t we trying to sign a left footed centre back prospect seeing as it’s so in vogue these days. A few left footed players for attacking positions might be an idea now too.
Exactly. We Bjorn Hardley have any left-footed centre backs.
What a signing
Wow, that is a huge WillySize of him
Big Willy
If he makes it to the first team, it will be a shitfest with these.
"Big Willy to the rescue" "Big Willy saved Lindelof arse there" "Big Willy's positioning was good" "Big willy did well to get out from tight space"
Kambwala my lord, Kambwala!
Give me hope Kambwala, hope Kambwala, hope ‘til di morning comes
Hear he's top class round a camp fire.
Looks like Ed was reading
This is one of the few things that gives me some bit of hope for the future that our Academy and youth teams have some seriously talented players that potentially will make a big impact and eliminate the need for stupid transfer sagas.
Mind you it will be a few more years before it comes to pass (and thats assuming its handled correctly).
There is so much talent that we don't even need to handle it correctly - a few of those guys will break through regardless
Look at our central defenders: Tuanzebe, Mengi, Kambwala, Fish and Bernard.
Or our 3 wingers Elanga, Traore and Pellistri
Isn't it a great thing if we bring in top youth level coaches too so we can turn the talent in academy to top class ?
I think we can do with one or two continental coaches from Spain and Germany along with our existing British coaching staff.
thank goodness he’s a defender and not a no 10.If he makes it to the first team, it will be a shitfest with these.
"Big Willy to the rescue" "Big Willy saved Lindelof arse there" "Big Willy's positioning was good" "Big willy did well to get out from tight space"
otherwise we would be playing with big willy in the hole.
It wasn't much fun against City a couple of days ago. A duller game than our first team play.
Plenty of time for the new signings to bed in and settle
That's be a feat of supreme athleticism. It'd raise his status even higher.
So realistically he could end up being 6ft6in + by the time he stops growing. Plus a year in the gym adds another 10kg of muscle?
How fast is he?
Could end up being the beast of all time?
Damm hes 6.3". Big Willy.
Cue the eventual banned chants...
Cue the eventual banned chants...
Among all the players we have signed yesterday... he is the most promising.
I really don't know how quick he is because I never saw him get tested in a foot race. But what I did see was a 15 year old who looked exceptional on the ball, who could pass long/short very well. He looked about 5'11 at the time but also physically very strong and had a fantastic leap on him to attack the high ball which was notifceable.
If he is 6'3 now then he's shot up alot in 10 months.
Butt scared by Big Willy ?
If big willy ever starts a game against the rent boys in the pl it will be banter for the ages.
Well in fairness - no Jurado, no Fernandes, no Hugill, no Fish, no Big Willy, no Hansen Aarøen, no Vitek, no Hannibal, no Shoretire and no Wellens
So we could have fielded a stronger side
There are people who insist that wouldnt work at first team level.. Of course it would if you had football people making the decisions.
