Are you watching the game wez?

Ronan Kpakio Only just 17 yrs old
Well chuffed Bulut has started him m, playing superb as Wez has said
Please keep Ronan Kpakio away from Purse

The young guy looks a great prospect lets hope he gets his chance in a championship game sooner rather than later in the season

Would like to see Ronan Kpakio play day against Reading and Bristol Rovers, as Penybont should really be playing our U21’s
But I do agree with Wez, Ronan Kpakio, superb game so far from him.

Do have to remember its not a championship team he is up against but looks like he has everything required lets hope he is pushed into the team

The lad played well. His opposite number was a bit of a tugboat though.

i must admit he do look quality, calm on the ball too!
but we need to see him against quality so i would like to see him in all the games leading to the league starting, because if he plays this way against all the teams then he really is a class act

A big if, but, if he does show this talent against better players and holds his own, I really hope Bulut sees the talent instead of his age and keeps him around the first team.
Too many old fashioned thinking in the club (academy in particular), where his age clouds judgement.
Never an issue back in the day with the likes of Ledley, Ramsey etc.

Is he from our academy or have we signed him?

And don’t forget Toshack at 16

Age irrelevant if you have the physique, temperament and talent as we've seen with many examples: Rooney, Giggs, Yamal of Spain etc.
If you don't throw them in, you're never going to know if they cam hack it.

You’re absolutely right.
The only thing that worries me though is this. I’m assuming that EB has been told that top 6 is the target, so will he gamble on youngsters or get someone with more experience?

In 1965 when Toshack first played for Cardiff as a 16 year old, he was alongside a prolific George Johnstone who was 18. A combined age of 34!! We sold him to Arsenal not long afterwards. Age didn't matter in those days and the men they were up against certainly took no prisoners!!
