Where was Toure at 22? I bet you hadn’t seen him play yet.
Mohammed Kudus
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
You underestimate me, I'm a huge fan of (gimme a second) Mettalurg Donetsk?
It's not just the World Cup - Kudus has a better goals per minute this season in the Eredivisie than Gakpo, and has a better goals per minute in the CL than Gakpo has in the El.
The main issue seems to have been he was injured for a decent chunk of this season, otherwise his stats would be right up there. He's seemed Ajax's best player this season when fit.
Yeah, hence I said, if United can chose 1, Id take Kudus over Gakpo. United simply dont need Gakpo, he has nothing you dont already have.
Im not even sure Ajax knows where to use him. In the CL he played as a ''false 9'' but he himself says he prefers to play as (attacking) midfielder. He played quite often as false 9 this season actually. I believe ten Hag tried using him as a central midfielder. He was injured a lot during ten Hag his Ajax period though.
Could have been an Everton player... he even tried to force the transfer. Guess he can find a better club now?

Sign him up 100m. Been following his career since he was in Strongtower FC in the Ghanaian academy.
Beyond that watched a 3 minute youtube highlights video of him.
A player Harry Redknapp would sign in his pomp.

Ha, Liverpool scouts reading my post.
From what I've seen I really like him, think he'll make a big impact if he moves in January. Everton certainly missed out not getting that transfer over the line and signing Maupay instead.
Wasn’t he brought to Europe (with Gervinho, Eboué, maybe his brother Kolo? ) by that Dutch club that had some partnership in Africa and used to have many young African players. I remember reading or seeing something about this.
Wasnt that a Belgian club? Beveren or something?

Ajax didn’t want to sell him. Nothing to do with Maupay.
He’s looked great upfront for Ajax whenever I’ve seen them.
You are correct. Arsenal had a partnership with the in the early 2000's, and signed Eboue from them. They also had Yaya Toure on trial from them but couldn't get him a work permit.
Think a few English clubs had partnerships with Belgian clubs back then with the pathway for African players a big factor. I believe Utd had a partnership with Antwerp.

there’s no way this is serious
Not true. I was creaming over him after just one game.
