It's a deal I struck with the owners. I'm too old to remember the names of all the new players that have come in the past 2 years, so we"ve agreed to introduce them in steps. @Boyne and @just are in on it too.

 H.G. Wells wrote a book about him.

He is our very own Scarlet Pimpernel.

"They seek him here. They seek him there. That damned elusive N'kunkuuuu"

If Nkunku can get fit before the end of the season I would like to see us line up like this.

Jackson

Nkunku - Chukwumeka - Palmer

I don’t understand why Chukwumeka doesn’t get more game time now he’s fit. Bar maybe one recent cameo, he’s been really good in the small amount of gametime he’s had this season.

At this point I am just hoping he will be fit for next season.

Jackson does not deserve to be anywhere near the first team. Have you seen him?

Nkunku , Lavia, Fofana , Ugo - 250Mil and we havent seen them on the pitch. Complete teams cost us less..

Just a completely different level of player. 

 

We have been waiting for this for the whole season 😭😭😭

Look at his movement for the goal compared to Jackson's. He looks a proper player.

What a talent he is. His first touch is amazing and I love how well he operates in tight spots and areas. Even at our own end he just casually held on to the ball and looked for a good pass. 

Nkunku-Palmer-Jackson next season could be a good trio.

Nkunku-Palmer-anyone else except jackson next season could be a good trio.

Yep - night and day. One is a good player, the other is a donkey who should have been shot in the paddocks....

Jackson did have blue dyed hair though, on par with Nkunku's blue balloon. I've mellowed considerably since then.

Nkunku really impressed last night and think he'll be mustard if he can get back to his best and stay fit!

He's solved our LF issue for next season.

The big IF in the room is yes if he can stay fit, which is right up there with can Wes Fofana stay fit, can Romeo Lavia stay fit and can Reece James remaining available and fit at the same time.

Totally agree. He looks very classy and a real handful. Hopefully he can stay fit and we will see much more of him next season.

Really excited for him to get some chemistry with the other forwards. He looked great with Jackson in pre season. If we can get him and Palmer at a level of understanding where they interchange positions and find eachother then we will be very dangerous.

Wasn’t called up for France. 😁

Neither was Gusto which is a bit of a pisstake. Reckon he goes to Olympics.

If Gusto goes to olympics then he will miss at least the first game of the season. Maybe the first couple.

The question is how can we defend with those trio upfront.
