Over the last few weeks I've been debating the merits of certain players with my old man, the one that we seemed to spend the most time on was young Younes.
Now we all know his history with us, bought on the recommendation that he was the next best thing in France, played too early, fell to pieces and was offloaded.
Pretty succinct, I know, but you lot always reckon I talk/type too much!
Anyway, we were talking about him and I made the observation that Kaboul reminds me of one of the top defenders in England. No, it's not Ledders it's Ferdinand.
That's Rio btw, not Anton.
I can't quite put my finger on what it is about him that reminds me of Ferdinand though, he just does. Possibly his movement, his positional sense or his reading of the game.
It might even be because he can contort his lips into some very strange shapes. Anyone else noticed that?
Give him 30 years and he'll make a World Class Gurner!!
What it all boils down to for me is that, at the risk of sounding sacreligious, we have a player who is showing signs that he could be every bit as good as the King himself, a man you all know I rate as the best of his generation. Anywhere.
Think about it, and tick off the boxes along with me;
King has terrific positional sense, Kaboul too is showing this.
King is one of the best in the World for reading a game/situation in order to position himself to intervene. Kaboul, for a number of games since last season, has proven that he too can read a situation to his advantage.
King is terrific in the air. So is Kaboul.
King has great pace, as does Kaboul.
King has a knack for taking a ball off a player with consumate ease, so does Kaboul.
King exudes a calm in his work, I'm noticing this more and more with Kaboul.
Personally, I'm convinced that this young man is the perfect replacement for King, particularly as he has King there to bring out the very best in him.
We need look no further chaps, the Prince is already with us and I think we can thank Harry for seeing that in him, when no one else did, and bringing it steadily to the fore.
