Augustus Kargbo

[ABRAM ROVER]

He looked fast like a Gazelle when he sprinted on. He was aggressive which didn't work with that referee last night he was awful that ref.

[Blow-in]

13 minute highlight clip has the same goal at 18 seconds as it does at 2:03. How many actual highlights are there?

 

That said, he is fecking quick!

[Groundhog]

Thought he looked lethal coming on against Plymouth. Tired defences won't want to face this guy. Looks a natural too, that dummy to shoot and pass into Dolan was pure class. 

Seems to be able to run with the ball a la Rothwell but twice as quick, also like Rothwell he may give it away, or run it out of play more often than not, but really excited to see what he can bring.

Enjoy seeing his pace dashing half the pitch to hunt the ball down

Players of his ilk are definitely going to come with a fair degree of failure and frustration. We have to be prepared to watch him lose the ball a few times in order to see him do something good. Hopefully he is given the freedom to take those chances (in the right areas).

Absolutely!

Like Lowe said he’s a ball carrier with speed ……Rothwell was the last one we had so really exciting to have him on board ….Recruitment team been chasing him since summer…. Glad the button was finally pressed on him …Looks hungry too …

Why did it take 30 days to push the button?

Refreshing to hear the (interim) manager refer to him as “Augustus” and not “Gusto” or “Kargs”.

Well, you know, Kargs and the lads, have, you know, been working hard. We are, you know, really pulling together. The lads are, you know, enjoying it.

Any ideas on the thinking behind only offering him a 2 year deal?

Are you inferring that Eustace didn’t want him and was dragging his feet agreeing to the transfer. I thought that they just didn’t want to pay the asking price.

He didn’t want Gueye Didn’t want Ohashi didn’t want Germain didn’t want Batth didn’t want Kargbo didn’t want Mostafa didn’t want Ribeiro & then finally didn’t want Blackburn ……

[Tom]

I know he amounted to nothing due to injuries amongst other things but I remember when Harry Chapman first came on loan there was excitement when he got the ball, he’d run at people and try and make something happen.

This lad is like that, although I was worried at the way he ran on against QPR that his hamstring was about to explode due to his awkward looking running style and pace!
