    I don't think this guy is going to make the grade with us.
    I don't think he can cut the mustard with us as a midfielder as he keeps losing the ball in dangerous areas and can't even seem to make the simple five yard passes.

    N'Guemo is looking like the black Donati to me. I think we should hand him back to Nancy FC in January, as he is a passenger in our team at the moment.

    Not sure if mogga will choose to keep him at the end of the season but I wouldn't be to annoyed if he stayed I think he has the potential to be a neil lennon like figure :56:

    He's got more dig than half of our team, puts himself about and when ive seen him he can pick a pass. He's had his off games but just like our manager he's still adjusting to a new team add to that adjusting to new country, league and way of football.

    I think he has performed better than guys like Brown and Robson, his partnership with Crosas has definitely looked promising too.

    His first touch is giving it away then he needs to win it back which makes him look like a good wee digger in the middle of the park, then again hes not helped by Brown in the middle who pretty much does the same. He looked great beside Donati before he left, and as paulmitchell says he looks good beside Crosas

    The whole team are playing poor at present

    we need a complete overhaul and just maybe with better players on board
    we might see him perform to a higher level.
    the thing is sammy was on loan got his move and does not cut is as a striker
    in my opinion
    we cant make the wrong decision again,there are times when he looks the part
    we have to give him a chance

    N'Gumeo has been too inconsistent imo, some games he's looked excellent others he's been anonymous.

    His good games have shown what he is capable of so I hope to see more of those games over the coming months.

    He needs to be more commanding...demand the ball from the defence. Hinkel and Caldwell hoofed it any chance they got today...he should have demanded the short pass.

    We had a tough time in midfield today...were overrun and N'Guemo seemed to lack a bit of pace to be able to get close to , Ryan Flynn and Alex MacDonald who seemed to be able to skip through our midfield whenever they chose to.

    I'd take Crosas over N'Guemo. But I'd take N'Guemo over Zhi.

    Love him, though he was as poor as the rest of them today so I hold him accountable for that performance. As the anchor of our midfield, must do better :shamrock:

    I think he's excellent personally, he certainly cannot be labelled a passenger anyway. Still has a bit to go to be the complete holding midfielder but he has all the basic attributes required.

    Cant make my mind up about him if im honest ,yes he wins balls but normally after he loses it ,he has a great engine and will run all day but he can be slack during games and thats something that only he can sort out.

    He has been inconsistant, so far... but then again, these past months, there are not many that have been in top form.

    At times, he has been very good, and shown some Lennon-esque type effort & at other times, like today, has been something less than special. One thing he does lack is the ability to really impose himself on a midfield, in the manner Lennon, Keane or Viera were capable of.

    IMO the jury is still out. That is the benefit of a loan. we have him for a year, he can show what he can do and if he hasnt fully settled in & producing consistantly what is required, then there is nothing lost. Give him til May, then ask again.

    He's a cracking wee player suffering from playing in a * team. If we get ourselves sorted out he'll be a major player for us I reckon.

    nguemo has been one of the most consistant players this season, and definatly had a few possible man of the match games from him. like said before, he's surrounded with * at times, so obviously it effects his performance.

    thought he was excellent at hamburg, and there is nobody in the team like him apart from possibly brown, who comes with a card-a-game guarentee

    I think Nguemo has consistently been our best player in European games this season but at the same time has been very poor and almost lazy in the SPL games imo!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>

    he's had the odd off game, and aye he missplaces the odd pass.

    He's a wee dynamo type of player in the mould of gatusso, i think this boys gonna be a star and is deffinately good enough for Celtic and the spl and will only get better with age!
    The problem is (as others have sid) he's playing with a team in really bad form with some inconsistant players and he seems to have a different partner in midfield every game.

    I like him a lot, and think we should see how he performs into next year and if he's still performing well make an offer for him.

    i think he's a 2m + player

    Good player surrounded by fools who can't read the game, perhaps with two or three new players around him we'll see him getting even better. He is still adjusting to the SPL, now that's got to be a major cultural shock for most foreigners, so give the wee man a break and assess him over the full season once new players arrive in January.
