I think this is a good signing, Kabba is a good player at Championship level and has the potential to excel at this level. Both Cort and Kabba have the potential to flop, but it's unlikely they both will.

If another team had turned up at GP with Carl Cort and Steve Kabba up front I would have been concerned!!

Do we have enough strikers now.....

:thetruth: Despite the concerns, when you think about it, to attract two players of their pedigree if pretty impressive.

No, we have one injured and two with the jury out after some years of injury, we have a pacy left winger who appears to be a diamond up front. I'm still thinking that a young loanee is on his way but that is more hope than judgement. If the coach leaves tonight then all is done, if it leaves tommorrow then there might be more to follow.

Unless they pick someone up on the way or bring someone back who can't play against Carlisle. :fishing:

Kabba is someone Bullivant would know well from his C Palace days and may have had some influence on this decision. :idea:

I fully expect us to challenge, but maybe thats just me. I look at the squad and whilst goal scoring is a concern i think it's a very strong squad. Signing the likes of Cort and Kabba would have been a pipe dream a very short time ago.

And me. I think this is another good signing. Another ecperienced, big strong CF to go with Mac, strevens and Cort. With our wingers these chaps will get chances.

Do not let the goals/games ratio worry you, this will be his season.
 

Steve Kabba

Kabba do do do...................

Good luck. If these new signings can find the form we now they used to have, we are going to have a very good season.

2005/6 season at Sheffield United.Kabba made 21 starts + 13 as sub scoring 9 goals.

That season United finished 2nd and were promoted to the Premiership often playing

alongside Shipperley the leading scorer with 11 goals!

Although Mr Shipperley did not do the business with us,is does indicate that Kabba

can produce,if he can remain fit/injury free.

Hope it all goes well for both parties.

This reflects how quickly things can change for footballers. I really hope Kabba is at the other end of the spectrum to Shipperley.

Nice to see another London lad join, (we're the english Athletico Bilbao) but he's only scored 3 goals in two and a half years and seems to be on a downward trajectory, a little too like Cort. I do hope AS doesn't start with both and gives Weston a chance.

I really hope i'm made to eat my words by one or both of Cort and Kabba.
 

Steve Kabba

In about three months we will be picking two from Cort, Kabba, Mac and Strevens with Weston as another option, if Kabba and Cort have made it to then injury free they are likely to be doing a job and it would be a very strong pool of strikers!
 

Steve Kabba

Could be very difficult for AS when Mac and Ben come back
 

Steve Kabba

Both Cort and Kabba are low-risk/high-reward signings. If even 1 of them plays as well as they are capable off, we'll be laughing as the goals pour in. If one is a flop, so be it. If both flop, well we've not got any on some completely overbearing contract. Mac and Strevens will come back and we'll get a young loanee in, as well as our Weston option.
 

Steve Kabba

Happy with this signing reminds me a bit of Richard Caddett.Hope he and Carl can get some goals early on to give them the confidence as they are both class players.With the service they will get from our flanks very confident they will help us compete at the top half of the league.I expect one of the two to be on the bench from the start but our bench, barring more injuries is looking very strong even better by november when Ben and Mac are back.Can't wait till Saturday.

Cort has the potential to do a good job, Kabba nope. He would be better as a wide man for us.

fookin hell lets be glad we have some strikers for saturday at the very least.
the last time Kabba played in red and white he was pretty good lets hope that's a good omen
 

Steve Kabba

For the record i'm delighted with this signing he looked the muts nuts for Sheffield United!
 

Steve Kabba

Steve Kabba was talking to a Watford fan at Harrow Borugh on Tuesday and said he was only told on Monday of Brentford's interest, wasn't sure what was happening but would keep his chin up and keep training and hopefully get a contract, he was saying that this was the 1st time since being a pro that he didn't have a contract at the start of the season, he didn't seem confident of picking one up either, I am surprised by the lenght of it though as I would of assumed he would of had a similar deal to Cort. Good luck to him
 

Steve Kabba

Think the point Scotty mentioned was interesting, it's only one season where his career has stalled abit if you think about it :yes:

Again, as with Cort...........i think if we can keep them fit i don't see how we can lose out of this. Could prove to be inspired signings :sorted:

Possibly, Saunders and Weston/Wood have got the wings sewn up. I'd still love to see bridges up front for us.

Jeff or Michael? Seriously and I'm not joining in the battering of you but Bridges isn't an option that makes me smile. I need to see Kabba and Cort do it to be totally convinced but I'd be suicidal if Bridges rolled up. They have some days ahead but his are way behind.

If they are motivated we win. I just fear he could be Rankinesque, works hard, not the best finisher, but moments of brilliance, but never know what you will get from game to game and not enough goals for a centre forward.

The thing is who do you have in mind that would be better?

I'm sure Andy Scott has looked at all the options open to him and I'm sure these 2 are the best that are available.

Andy has not shown in the time he has been in charge that he will buy anyone that he does not believe can succeed at the club.

Have faith!!!

another good signing, we got to be optamistic about all this, if we were told 2 seasons ago we were gonna have players of this calibre coming to us you would laugh!!! kabba is young coming back to his home town, and got a point to prove like burton, but im sure kabba will be better than burton (not hard i know), if we give kabba and cort the service im sure were gonna be right up there, and what with charlie to were gonna be a good side this year looking for promotion!!

I'd guess you'd be in a minority who thought Deon Burton was no good. If Kabba is as good as him I'd be very pleased

I still think we need a goal poacher while Charlie Mac is out IMO, these two aren't the answer to that i don't think :shrug:

If that happens, i'll be absolutely delighted with how the squad has shaped up :cool:

Top post!!! Have a biscuit!!!

So who has a better scoring record that is available and in our price range?

Did Jordan Rhodes have a great goalscoring record in league football before he signed???

Did Charlie Macdonald have a great goalscoring record in League football before he signed???

You don't have to agree with me just because we're neighbours. I won't urinate in your front garden

I remember watching Kabba at Palace a few years ago and thinking that if he got the ball in space in his own half that there was danger for the other side. He was quick, direct and a real handful, most forwards do their damage in and around the box but this guy offered loads more. Let's hope that he still has it.
Like maddogging says though, it will be Cort and Weston starting.

interesting post --- he sounds as if he could be a handful for most division one defences.
