Florent Sinama Cole?

[CaptainXabi]

Looking at FloPo today, it dawned on me that he's almost exactly in the same position Joe Cole was 3 years ago. Just like Sinama presently, Cole had great touch, great skill, and was generally dazzling on the ball, but there was no end product. I hope Rafa makes it a special mission to help Flo direct his skills, much like Cole has at Chelsea. If he can add some end product, he'll be some player.

[LFCNeil90]

I thought he did have some good end produce today.. like that cross which skimmed luis' head and beating guys down the wing regularily

[Frosty Jack]

Yes, plenty of end product these days, scored important goals whenever he's been given his chance, he's a good crosser and can get past defenders into the box, think he's far more focussed than cole was back then.

[Michael]

But how do you practise deflections?

[stressederic]

His close control is excellent at times, and he's surprisingly strong for such a small guy. Made some of the Newcastle players look like (even bigger) muppets at times when he came on.

[Cooldude]

He was brillant today

 

Mind you, it's only Newcastle

[hagi_complex]

I like him and hope he stays.

 

He's a livewire and has skill and awareness. The latter will imporve. You can't teach the former.

 

Not first XI but a valuable player. And instrumental in no.5.

Very good analogy you make there, mate, spot on.

 

I very much hope that Rafa keeps him, because with the right guidance and coaching he will turn from a very good prospect to a very good player.

[Ombudsam]

I think cole may be more explosive at getting past players with the ball. I'd like to see sinam developed as a second striker

[Eiler99]

He looked really lively when he came on. Very good cross for Garcia. But I fear that he might be off loaded in January. I don't think his future is with us.

[boohog]

We'd be nuts to let him go. He is faster than Cisse and can dribble the ball to boot. Finishing sometimes leaves a little to be desired (except when it really matters) but then he doesn't play up front enough to judge. I'd like to see Rafa giving him 40 mins regularly when we are comfortable to see what he can do in this team.

He's nowhere near as fast as him.

true. runs faster with the ball though.

Yes. He. Is.

[realtarragona]

Show me a clip of Pongolle out running someone please. He's not as fast as he looks. Cissé, on the other hand, is rapid.

 

I'd prefer to keep him anyway as there's obviously potential there.

this pic looked like a scene from Aliens v Predator whereby the human being is running alongside a predator away from the nasty aliens!!!

That picture is Photoshop'ed. I swear.

Were you not recently been saying that he should be developed as a RM? Personally i think that where his future will ly (at RM).

[Guest Anders Honoré]

hopefully he will go the same way as Garcia and be a capable player in numerous positions.

Nice name change.

 

 

Ideally he could develop into a player who could also perform excellently at LB. Giving the type of player he is and his ability to beat players i think out wide is where he should be deployed. In saying that Cole is pulling more centrally of late and is performing well, if he is to develop as well as Cole then deploying him as a second striker could well be an option.
