This is a player who is the main striker in a team that plays in one of the top leagues in the world who has absolutely no ability in one of the basic skills of the game. I'm honestly think there are players in parks football who would be more of a threat in the air than Ken.
This is not a new thing however. If we can see it, surely our highly paid coaching team can see it.
So why hasn't Ken been spending the entire summer spending almost all his time in training learning how to head the ball? Surely that's a skill which he can be coached to improve?
It's all well and good having wingers who can get to the byline and get crosses in but if we're going to have a striker in the middle who can't head for shit in the middle.
Kenwyne Jones was a lazy so and so but he would have had a hat-trick today.
