Younès Kaboul

[Harding]

well put it this way...looks like he would win 1 or 2 headers with a leap like that! john terry who? lol

 

[>YounGunner<]

Are you guys damn serious none of have seen him in your life you see one picture and of him jumping high and you want to sign him.

 

[Harding]

well i wasnt being serious at all i just think its a great picture. i know nothing of the man, cant tell you what he is good at or not.

 

[weisheng]

As dumb as it sounds to judge a player on a picture (and i agree it sounds like the dumbest thing ever), with that kind of jump he'd probably only need to use his chest and not his head

maybe this was how cygan was signed
honestly i no little about this guy
and i hope the reason we r being linked is not just because he s french

 

[f4evo]

the angle of photography often makes jumps to look pretty huge on a photo

 

[weisheng]

It looks like Younes Kaboul decided to stay for another season from an interview with Eurosport yesterday:

Younes Kaboul.

I can safely say I've never heard of this chap before. He is a 21-year-old defender at Auxerre.

Anyone who follows Ligue 1 know anything about him?

 

[stuart]

It is always us and Liverpool isn't it

The price seems a bit steep for someone we have never heard of

 

[has this been taken??]

Big powerful centre back from what I've heard. We were linked to him before. £7.5 mil is pretty steep...

 

[dos1986]

He's Diaby's mate at Auxerre,I've seen him play a few times and he's impressive,he has great speed and power,also very good in the air too,but you'd expect that as he must be at least 1.90m tall.

Weve been lnked with him for the last 2 summers now

Pompey was linked to him also.

He'll be a great signing for the future.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

We seem to get linked with Kaboul every season.

 

[sam961gunners]

Who?

 

[rednwhitearmy]

We need to sign someone over the age of 25....simple

 

[Asterix]

I'd rather say we need to sign someone talented.

This guy sounds promising - height, versatility, leadership qualities. If he can jump and defend and score from the odd set piece then he sounds like a very useful addition.

 

[>YounGunner<]

Wenger looks to be on the search for a dominator in the air.

Lets face it having gallas and Kolo at the back and we will always concede from set pieces.

 

[USArsenal]

ok, this is my "who? #1.. the other links in this section will be my other ones....

Kaboul is highly rated and his stats make for pretty good reading as well, but his % of tackles won and balls won seem quite low, then again I don't know how eurosport compiles their stats:
