Kent is one of our most productive attacking players but it's fair to say he's not lived up to what was hoped of him. If he'd been a £2m signing you'd be saying he's been a great signing over the piece, but at £7m he really had to increase his levels significantly above what he showed during his loan, which IMO he hasn't. Still, thank fook we went for him on a permanent deal rather than Sheyi Ojo.
Abada is a cracking player btw, can see Celtic getting good money from him in a year or two especially if he can put in a couple of standout performances in Europe.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That is a fair assessment. It is his price tag that affects views on him.

What is a successful dribble? Beating a man? Ok very good.
What about beating a man then putting in a ball that results in a goal or a save? Surely that is better?

Opta definition of a "Successful dribble".
"This is an attempt by a player to beat an opponent when they have possession of the ball. A successful dribble means the player beats the defender while retaining possession, unsuccessful ones are where the dribbler is tackled."

He’s been playing alongside Morelos.
The guy who was better than Dembele.
Who was worth more than Edouard.
Top scorer in the Europa league a few seasons ago (well, joint top scorer).
Wanted by the big clubs in, uhm, China.
What more does Kent need or want than a player like that to have in his team?

Fckn riddy for Rangers TBH starting Devine, Souttar, King, Yilmaz as their back 4 - all in contention for 1st team.

Ah. Just like the ja charity games.
‘ Hadn’t appreciated you were such a big Morelos fan.

So it’s not Kent’s fault his stats aren’t better-it’s ‘top striker’ Morelos’ fault.

Yup kept it down to 1-3 doing that
Back in the day Mulholland and McCart would agree the line ups in advance to avoid those kind of mismatches. Any disagreement and they’d just pull the fixture. Was annoying tbf.
Kent is $hite
Drops deep to pick the ball up, loses it and we are in $hit street….he does it constantly
Also, a winger should run down the line…..when’s the last time you seen Kent beat a man and put a cross in from the bye line?
Sometimes he beats his man, turns back, and tries to beat him again and gets robbed
Against Celtic he beat a man, had a chance to shoot, on his good foot….opted to come further inside, across the Celtic box, out it into his weaker foot, shoots off balance and hit row Z
He’s fcking mince….wouldn’t offer him anything, get him hunted

Not living up to the fee is one thing but you are living in the past if you think front wide men are there to hit the line. It is just not the modern way. If you rae fast enough to beat your man then do it more centrally and be in on goal, that's the mantra.
Going back to a link from above, successful dribbles - why do you think there's no celtic players on that list? Again, it's not the modern way. Pass and move, recirculate, move some more, create gaps for a pass rather than beating a man which is a lottery.

Abada has a knack for a goal and an assist but i don't think his overall game is that good.
he's a young lad though, plenty of time to develop, his stats for his age are really impressive.
