Samuel Inkoom

I bet he can cross the ball better than Bosingwa and Ivanovic. The problem with our RB position is we don't have personnel with the right balance between attack and defence- Ivanovic is defensively solid but poor/average offensively while Ferreira is the direct opposite- a defensive liability with decent attacking instinct and capability and Bosingwa is just plain useless, no aspect of his game stands out. This inkoom kid appears to have the right mixture of both to his game so I support this deal.

The problem is not so much with Ivanovic itself, it's with what's in front of him. With the presence of a genuinely good right winger in front of him, Ivan would be more solid than ever at RB. At the moment not only is he required to put in his defensive shift but also finds himself with the ball at his feet in advanced positions frequently because Anelka can't be bothered with staying on the right and Kalou is .... Kalou.

"To be honest the day I heard Chelsea were interested in me, I was very happy," Inkoom told skysports.com.

"Who would not like to be linked with such a big club, with world class players?

"It is a dream club for any player, specifically for young African players like me. Hopefully it will happen."

Stupid thing to say.

Cause if we think like that, we would have never gotten Drogba and Essien.

So I say, if AVB is interested in him, then lets get him.

I am all for cheap young talent, no matter where they are from!

ACoN gives other players a chance, and I doubt Inkoom would become an indispensible member of the squad right away, so why not. And he would miss what, 3-5 games in january?

About African players, this thread right here was made to discuss that:
