Sambi Lokonga: Sam Be the Man in Midfield?

[Trilly]

I’m not sure on Sambi. Won’t write him off but won’t say I’ve really seen anything that excites me.

He plays in a position (for us anyway) that is really experienced based so some sympathy/patience is needed.

"M8, if you try, you really can be 1/10th of the player i was. Seriously you have that in you"

You scared AM police would hunt you if he turns out good?

So Sambi can be Roy Keane level, I will take that.

It’s quite interesting that Vieira of all people wanted to loan him to an EPL team. Good depth player for a midtable club for cheap of course, but it's still quite a compliment for him to want Sambi.

No better place to go, he will take good care of him.

What do they know anyway?

Wouldn’t be the first Invincibles legend to have been taken in by young Sambi…

We have a new fashionista in the squad. Sambi at London fashion week.

Played 90 minutes against Liverpool, in a 0-0 draw. Looked like a pretty solid performance when I skimmed through the game.

Was fouled 4 times, made 0 fouls, 1 interceptions, 1 tackle, 1 clearance. ~83% pass accuracy.

Nice to see Vieira trust and develop him. Sambi looks much more confident.

Let's hope CP buys him

Problem with Lokonga is not what he does when but what he doesn`t do. When he is involved it is usually in a positive way. Had some lovely moments, passes and turns against LIverpool last night. He just needs to impose himself a lot more on games. Strolls around too much, is rarely first to second balls and doesn`t use the fact that the he`s is actually quite athletic.

LMAO....

 

[Jack badmon]

Yeah let him chill at selhurst, we good over here

This.
Just watched the Palace v City game. He seems to drift along and watch the game. It's like he doesn't really want to get involved. He was a passenger for long spells. I don't think he is a long term Party replacement.

such a weird player, has the talent and physical attributes in large, is it mentality and/or poor work ethic? Or am i missing something. Strange given he was such a young captain of anderlecht, they must have thought he was a strong character.

He was captain, yes. But didn't really took the game by the neck when we were playing bad though.
Seems to be a confidence problem with Sambi. He looks shackled for some reason.

At RSCA he was more of an advancing nr 8 than a nr 6 like Partey. Was at his best when being adventurous and going forward.

Let's send him to Marseile. It's been a while since they took any of our players.
