BP1960 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Bahamboula looks to be for up with the chopping and changing of his position and lack of movement from his colleagues. Like Hamer he will thrive away from here in a higher division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had heard his name mentioned so have watched him a few times. He reckons nobody outside of League Two would touch him with a barge-pole because he has far too many flaws in his game. He reckon a scout at Blackpool has said the same. It blew my mind because I think he is the best player I have ever seen, but was very interesting to hear... Keith Curle obviously thinks the same...

oafc1955 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 He’s our Stainrod or Groves and I’m sure every team would love to have a player like Bahamboula in it. One or two is a luxury but a team full of Bahamboula’s probably wouldn’t work! He’s definitely worth a starting place in our side, there’s always an air of expectation whenever he gets on the ball and players like him do not come along very often, especially in this division. We are lucky to have him and I just hope Curle or his replacement can find him a regular place in the lineup! When he’s on blob he’s worth the admission money alone!!

If he asks if his will happen and is given the go ahead, he may stay. If as usual he is told that they bring in most of the players, he will be off and we will get another yes man.

I was as bored against Vale as I have been at the worst of Kewells time but thought we looked outstanding until Diarra got involved against Cambridge. I guess my view is overall (and let’s remember we are comparing 3 games to however many Kewell had) it’s not massively different but unlike Kewell, Curle accepts their are two sides to a game rather than “everyone in League 2 concedes” if he can tighten that defence and get more of that 20 against Cambridge we will be a force - our woeful defence is the only reason we aren’t better off already and for Curle to identify and seek to rectify that says he knows what he’s talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was replacing Kewell with Curle for 15 months and being able to reshape the squad how he wants then it would be worth it. Replacing him for 2 months certainly isn't.

I think the “end of the season” is more Curle than the clowns - he will be well aware of the shit show we are so it’s no lose - take it on, see if he can/will be able to do things his way if not he walks with not a single blemish as he can always blame the toss pots in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I think this season is barely important to Curle. The key thing is whether or not he'll get the budget and control to build a squad how he sees fit and that can challenge at the top of the league. Which, let's be honest, probably won't happen.

It would make sense for Curle to take this route in the circumstances you describe, but if the club have taken the short term decision it all seems a bit pointless.

I believe the board wanted to offer Curle the following season too but obviously he’s no fool and had heard about the interference and other shenanigans at the club. Karl said initially he was only prepared to take on the job in the short term to see how things panned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
