First, Carl Cort, and now, Steve Kabba, are we going back in the time to the start of the noughties? Who's next? Francis Jeffers? Matt Jansen?

I hope everybody that has said Kabba and Cort are good signing are correct, because I think they are both real big gambles. To me they are very big panic buys, looks like we were looking at Jordan Rhodes and nobody else and when that fell through we had to sign somebody.
Lets hope it all works out....:)

I think that's complete tosh and an insult to Andy Scott. I can't believe what short memories people have.

You'd better tell that Alex Ferguson bloke that he's made a big mistake with Owen; best days behind him, injury prone, over the hill, no motivation.

i'd say you've pretty much hit the nail on the head to be honest :shrug:

I'm sure a fit and in form Kabba or Cort would be a dam sight better than Bowditch or Williams. Both have played in the Premiership Carl Cort has 5 Months to prove he deserves an extended contract or either put himself in the window for a bigger club to sign him.
Read abee's posts we have nothing to lose with him, if he's great we get 5 months or more from him, if he's turd we can release him in January and replace him. Plus he's on an incentive contract.

Steve Kabba is still young enough to play at a higher level. I'd understand if he was in his mid 30's but he not he's the same age as Charlie Macdonald.

Both have scored goals at a level we can only dream of playing.

Charlie Macdonald scored all his goals in the Conference and L2 (whos to say he makes the step up to L1, i'm sure he will but its not definite).

Don't you think Carl Cort or Steve Kabba would have a similar goal ratio if they were playing Conference or L2 football??? :confused:

Unproven players are more of a gamble IMHO.

i think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one, my point is corts best is behind him and kabba has a poor goals to game ratio throughout his career and i dont this is suddenly going to change. i think given the same amount of games for us this season macdonald would score more than both of them. i hope they both succeed and im totally wrong but imo AS has gone against what has brought him so much success, younger hungrier players have been the key to everything positive for us and im worried that this is the wrong route to go down, bottom line if the rhodes deal could've been done and strevens hadnt been injured these players wouldnt have been brought in so it does smack of a rushed double deal, i trust scotts judgement but these deals suprise me

Whether it is Premiership/Championship players who have had injuries and lost their way, like Cort, Kabba, Phillips and Bennett; non-league players coming into the League late in life, like MacDonald, Strevens and Poole; kids plucked straight from non-league, like Woods, Ademola and Legge; no-name kids from higher reserves, AS has made some astute choices. The one thing that he seems to do is research and he and TB seem to be well connected. A lot of us just like a good moan but we don't have our futures hanging on those decisions.
 

Steve Kabba

i don't think signing Carl Cort and Steve Kabba represents that much of a gamble if they are on short term contracts, six months and one season, i would think Kabba has a better chance of doing well as Cort might feel a bit underwhelmed by league one having been a former star in the premiership,

i think Andy Scott has an excellent record at bringing in players at the right time and we obviously need cover in attack, even with Strevens fit, after Strevens got injured Scott must have felt we needed two more strikers to make it a more competitive forward line,

AS and TB must have a lot of contacts and even if Kabba and Cort don't work out, Scott seems to be a master at using the loan system if last season is anything go to by!
 

Steve Kabba

cort till christmas is pretty similar to a six month loan deal. i am sure AS tried for a few players on the latter and got nowhere - possibly because of the 7 players on a bench thing this season which means championship teams are probably more reluctant to loan out fringe players.

hopefully he will bag a 'trick today and we'll all be happy

Sometimes I really hope that AS doesn't look on this web site.What does he need to do to convince people he knows what he is doing? He MIGHT make a mistake on bringing in a player one day, but just remember the horrific injuries to strikers last season, and "out of the hat" he signs another player to score the vital goals. One important point is how he signs a player up. He gives one player a few months to prove himself before our injured players hopefully are fit to return.If the player he has signed up, then what a fantastic situation re the competition for a place in the team. My message is "do not underestimate AS".

Some ****ing stupid opinions on this thread. :rolleyes:

You're all entitled to them but some of you are just wrong. :wave: :thumbs:

I don't think AS would be too worried about it. and Scott is well respected by the marority of bees fans. Football is about opinions. Other clubs sites are no different to ours. I said I did not fancy Cort, I think he will prove me wrong, and I hope he does.
 

Steve Kabba

I am convinced Steve Kabba will make an impact. He will score at home against Brighton.
 

Steve Kabba

In the few minutes he was on, he seemed to have a directness about him that would unsettle defences. He lacked a bit of control, let's hope that is lack of match-fitness, but he looked difficult to shake off the ball.

I'm sure he'll see it as a nice problem.
I'm amazed that certain people come on here putting Cort and Kabba down before they have even played for us. These are not second best signings, AS has been watching them for some time and even said he tried to sign Kabba last season, so I think we can safely say he know's he's doing.

Let's get one thing straight, Carl Cort and Steve Kabba HAVE BOTH played in the premier league and could still play at a higher level than league ONE.
When did we last have a centre forward who has or will ever achieve that ?

Stop moaning and enjoy what AS is doing, it may not last forever.:cool:
 

Steve Kabba

Can't comment on Kabba cos he only got a few mins yesterday. To all those who doubt Cort, I would say that you may wish to hold onto your views until after you've seen him play. He looked very good yesterday & if that's a panic signing then I hope AS has a panic attack again very soon.
 

Steve Kabba

Its Steven not Steve, ask Niel Warnock!

think i go with what warnock said he knows him better than you lol and its easier to say!!
 

Steve Kabba

Saw that run against Brizzle sh*tty last night, wow :eek:

I also saw the shot - but he quite clearly slipped, could happen to anyone :cool:
 

Steve Kabba

Steve Kabba's only golden patch was as a Sheffield United player.

I have a hunch that Kabba will come good for us and become a first team regular.

(The other notable Bee who had a golden patch for the Blades and become a 6'2" legend there was, of course, ooh aahh Bob Booker.)

There is of course one other notable Bee in the same category :rolleyes:

........................had a very good Bees game yesterday.......................
 

Steve Kabba

Definately agree that he could be a regular in the side. Linked up well with Macdonald yesterday. Just needs more confidence in front of goal and to stay on his feet.
 

Steve Kabba

Ben Starosta?
 

Steve Kabba

Dismal excuse for a striker - Kabba is without doubt the worst signing that Scott has made as manager. Anyone who thinks his performance yesterday was dismal should have seen him in the JPT game at Norwich - woeful player!

Maybe i was watching a different game but i thought Kabba did well in the 2nd half. A bit battered and crest fallen after that Andersen challenge but was linking up well and possibly our most creative player yesterday.

Yep I agree, he wasn't outstanding but am surprised by alot of the comments on here! I thought he did ok.
 

Steve Kabba

I see him as no more than a bit part player who can fill in off the bench.

He has missed the preseason and has started way behind the others and given that he had a terrible season last year too I worry that he has passed his best.
 

Steve Kabba

:imwith:

I think a few games with Mcdonald could form a decent partnership, there were a few little balls slipped in here and then that didn't quite come of yesterday, but when they get to know each others movements a bit better I hink they could really work as a pair.

Showed some promise in linking with Charlie once Bean came on and passed to them.

If we're playing those 2, we can't just thump it in the air as we did in the first half
 

Steve Kabba

i thought he played well , defo in the second half.

Yes, he was very poor there. Thought he did well at Huddersfield but still doesn't look like scoring. Does some good bits in games but also looks lost around the box to me :shrug:
