"A diminutive attacking midfielder or winger" Just what we need.

Ooooooh, perfect. Another little tricky forward thinking midfielder like JMD, or Brophy, or Dayton, or Dennis. Just perfect.

Looks small but skilful, basically the attacking version of George Marsh.

Can't see it happening. I thought Embers said he wasn't going to go after young players like this, and we have already extended the Marsh loan.

If he's got a history of injuries or is currently out with a long term problem, he'll be right up our street.

He'll play up front in the middle as a target man, with Angol and Wilkinson out wide providing the crosses. What's not to like!

I take it you mean 'Brophs?'

I was under the impression it was supposed to be Wilkinson and Angol on the end of those crosses

In a normal set up, yes.........

Just signed a new 2year deal with West Ham. Might get him on loan

If he is a winger or wide midfield player then on the face of it, any move for Kemp would not seem to address what a lot of fans think are the priority areas in the team. I suppose it might be some logic to it if say, Brophy is going to continue at left back and / or Dayton or Dennis are going to be moved on but I would think there are more important considerations.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh

I have an in depth knowledge of Kemp (gained from looking him up on Transfermarkt during my lunch hour). He is diminutive - 5ft 3ins and has played all season for their U23's as a right winger scoring 10 in 17 with 4 assists this season including two against Cheltenham (both tap ins) in the EFL Trophy. Prefers his left peg and has never gone out on loan (just turned 21yo).

Bloody hell, we've already got 3 or 4 left footed wingers.

We won’t get him cos he ain’t injured..More likely Ross Kemp

Yes, guilty. I only realised that after I read those posts back again

They think he is very good and don't want him to go

Really? He is nowhere near the first team.

Yes i agree with a few people on hre but to score goals we need to play 2 upgront and not this crap formattions

So two right wingers Wilkinson and Kemp .
Didn’t RE say he didn’t want kids ?

No he said it was attitude that is important.

It's ok, he likes to play on the right and cut in.

Oh...

Thought he said it was athleticism and skill but kids can’t perform consistently so are not what we need to improve right now ?
In the press conference. Bearing in mind he never gives a clear answer to questions , it’s on this hand and that hand and in these terms he answers questions, so not always clear
