Along the lines of:-
  • Hadn't played regularly in two years before joining us
  • Hadn't kicked a ball in 8 months before joining us
  • He misjudged his fitness when he joined us, fitness coaches said it would take him a few months to get up to speed but he tried to hit the ground running
  • He's picked up loads of niggling injuries since joining us
  • He's trained solidly for 2 weeks now and feels good for it
  • He's determined to get into the first team over the next few weeks and wants to be involved in each game, starting with Tuesday
  • He's not closed the door on Wales, but wants to get back playing regularly for Cardiff first.

My opinion is that he sounded extremely determined and pretty upbeat about his chances of getting back into the team. He sounded very confident in his own ability.
Didn't sound disinterested in football at all as has been widely speculated, in fact he sounded the total opposite.

If he plays as good a game as he talks then we may have a very good player coming back into form, timed very nicely with Ramseys loan ending in a few weeks.



Cheers mate.

You have summed up my thoughts completely there. If he can find form now then it will be like a new signing fo us. I think he may have benefited from a spell training with some quality players and suddenly his fitness and desire have been reignited.

Koumas is an enigma. Who knows what goes through his head? One minute he's a shot horse and the next he's the potential saviour of our promotion campaign. It's clear he has natural talent so seeing as he's here for the rest of the season anyway we might as well hope and pray that he finds that bit of class and brings it to the table week in, week out.
