I honestly can't see why he wasnt given more playing time here. Must be something behind closed doors that managers see in him that obviously we cant. For me, given the game time, he could have challanged Alonso for that wingback position. Think the saga in China hurt him massively this season. Â I think that was it too. Club spent a lot of money trying to grow the brand in China, and pretty much all of it was undone by his social media account. It was a waste of time after his story came out.

Thor 2,710 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 He isn't a LWB. He is clearly a winger. Not sure why he hasn't played there. He is a very talented player. King11Didier and mccg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenedy did ok in the few games he played at LWB imo. To be honest, the LWB role is more comparable to an old school LM role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't exactly look a great talent but he'll surprise people at Newcastle I think if played in an attacking position. Still think he has a long way to go to be a squad player here, yet alone a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why it should be paramount for him to learn the defensive side of the game, as he could be a good LWB/LB in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think him learning the defensive side of the game to be reinvented into one of those positions would just kill his development as a footballer. He looks so much better going forwards and even then, hes not overly great at that. Supermonkey92 and The Skipper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arlen Correa 161 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Watching him against United and he is black belt in shitness. Probably the dumbest winger in the last 800 years. Sell him for $1mi if we have the chance. robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, he has not done anything to change my mind and I long ago gave up expecting him to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,585 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Nice for him. He needs discipline and he can be a utility wing back. Look at Valencia he was a winger but discipline got him good at defending currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
