Am I the only person who thinks he is getting a hard time unfairly after the weekend?
Yes he didn't have a good game, but that is because he was pretty much having to play out of position at right back to cover Connolly who was just way to slow to keep up with Bournemouth's attacking play.
And he has barely been played this season so of course he will be a little rusty!

Have clung to the hope he would turn it around, has a lovely touch is super fit and has the odd nice moment but his decision making is awful and while I think he would do well in a confident winning team the battle in the championship mid table isn't for Kim. Time to thank him and say goodbye.

Feeling isolated in a different culture can suck all the positive energy out of you.
Really effect your game and feeling of togetherness, which at times makes a player what he is

This is his third season here... If he's still isolated, then he may as well go back to his homeland and never play abroad again.

Playing wide in this 4-4-2 was never going to work. In the right system he could do well.

I think you're right.
I honestly thought that Kimbo would be a success in the Premier League where that little bit of extra time that you get on the ball would mean that we could really see what he could do but it never really worked out that way.
I'm not sure he's suited to the Championship quite so well - he still seems to fall over too easily and is knocked off the ball regularly.
We always seem to have some obviously talented players at Cardiff who for one reason or another never seem to fulfil their potential whilst they are with us.

He never played his best football out wide, he looked more suited through the middle I thought

I think Kim has something that other players don't have he should be a really special player for us I'm not sure whats happened but I still think he could be, although Slade seems to only like regimented players to do jobs and not flair or skill players. Hope he stays, as he is my daughters favourite player too!

Could maybe become good if the manger is patient with him and give him enough play time to settle into the team. But the same could be said about most of the players in our squad..

modern day 4231 player although far too lightweight for the british game. Not a fit for 442 or Malky's 451, so we never saw him at his best for us. needs to move on

I thought he was excellent when he came into the side regularly in the promotion season. Him, Mutch and Gunnarson were an excellent trio.
Thought he was going to turn out to be a little gem, and getting better in the premier league when it's more about intercepting the ball than challenging for it, giving him more time on the ball.
For some reason it never happened and now he looks shot of any confidence he once had.

it would help if he spoke more english.
he's been here 2 and a half years. players nowadays are moddycoddled to the extent that it shouldn't make a difference whether you are playing in tokyo or timbuktu.
