super_arran Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Personally I would love to see us sign Todd Kane on a permanent deal. I think his energy is unreal. His reading of the game is very good considering his age. I honestly think he will be the real deal when he develops. I hope Chelsea do the usual Chelsea thing and sell him on without giving him a chance in the 1st team. Their loss will be our gain. Last season he did a good job but this season I think he's going to be one of the best attacking full backs in the league. I'd put money on him getting a lot more assists and a few more goals too.

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Bloody hell, he's played like a drain this season up to yesterday. He gets an hour running free down the right wing with nobody to mark and now we should sign him ! Let's see how he shapes in the next two games shall we ?

SoldierMo Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Admit poor start but the type of players we should be tryng to sign when they are raw so will always have bad patches in their games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see how he shapes in the next two games shall we ?It's not a knee jerk, one good game, lets sign him up, post.I was referring really to what I saw last season. Granted he's taken his time to find a bit of form this season; but in my opinion he's got all the attributes to be very very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom DE. Posted August 25, 2013 Backroom Share Posted August 25, 2013 His form was very on and off last season, and yesterday's game aside has been poor so far this season. I think it'd be sensible to withhold serious judgement for a couple of months at least - he's shown no hint of consistency yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevidgeBlue Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 But..........we have Bradiey Orr. So what you're saying is that Orr is better than Henley but not Kane? At least you're half right I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I don't think he's a better prospect than Henley was before he got injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gally Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I was really impressed with his attitude last season, put most of our established pros to shame. Tbh I'd be surprised if Chelsea let him go so soon after giving him a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevidgeBlue Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I think Kane looks particularly impressive going forward and I frequently find myself wondering what we'd look like if we pushed him into midfield and moved Lowe back to what is in my mind by far his better position at full back. That would add a lot more oomph to our midfield imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_arran Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 Give it a rest mate, he's keanCare to elaborate? Because he's clearly not.And Rev, to answer your question; yes in my opinion Orr, at this moment in time is a better player than Henley. And yes, I believe Kane is better than them both. What, in your opinion, makes Henley a better player at this moment in time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Marky Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Elaborate? Hasn't got a clue how to defend, not strong enough, not good in the air......positionally he needs work...ok going forward I suppose... One good game against the bottom team and you are bumming him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Kean's Hypnotoad Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Since he got here he's been good going forward and poor defensively. Nothing on Saturday disproved that, we just had the quality of Dunn to emphasise his attacking talent and 10 men to play against to reduce his defensive frailty. The trouble is he's a defender, so personally I'd prefer it if he were good at that and poor going forward. At present though we've nobody any better to replace him with and with his age there is a capacity for him to improve. I'd see how he does this season before pushing to sign him permanently though.

Hasn't got a clue how to defend, not strong enough, not good in the air......positionally he needs work...ok going forward I suppose... One good game against the bottom team and you are bumming him up. At this stage of the season their league position is neither here nor there. At 3pm Saturday, we were 22nd, Barnsley were 23rd.I like what I've seen of Kane so far. You don't come through the rank at the United Nations of Chelsea unless you have something about you. He's still young and will definitely improve. A real talent there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenodrog Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Very impressed with Kane last season to the extent that I thought we would have virtually no chance of signing him permanantly. This season just the opposite. So do we move to sign someone who appears to be off his game? Catch 22 isn't it? Cos if he gets back on song his agent wont let him sign and more to the point Chelsea wouldn't let him go. btw (I wonder if Kane went to the same place as N'Zonzi did in 2009 for his hols when after starring the season before Sam effectively banned him from the squad till Christmas after a nightmare pre season. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim mk2 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I don't think he's a better prospect than Henley was before he got injured. Where is Henley and how long has he been out now ? Looked a top prospect before his injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salgado Is A Hero Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 He's played a couple reserve/under 21 games in recent weeks so he should be back imminently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my view also. Last time I saw Henley he looked decent going forward but also looked like a player who knew how to defend as well. He had plenty of pace which for a full back is essential. If he's lost a bit of that it could be another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watford-rover Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I hope Kane's form keeps improving as Henley has just pulled up and been replaced by poalo Jorge for the U21's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted August 26, 2013 Moderation Lead Share Posted August 26, 2013 Kane was class for us last season, allegedly he has been good on Saturday but I wasn't able to see the game, just the result as I'm on holiday ATM. Before then he was alarmingly worse than last season IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom DE. Posted August 26, 2013 Backroom Share Posted August 26, 2013 I hope Kane's form keeps improving as Henley has just pulled up and been replaced by poalo Jorge for the U21's Alarming signs that Henley's body doesn't have what it takes to cope with professional football. Would be a huge shame as he has genuine talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roveranout Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Other than shock No. I've not been his biggest fan since he came but saturday he was one of the star performers. I do think he's weak in his position but he got up and down the flank well and added another dimension to our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
