    I am really impressed with what I have saw in this guy, I admit I have only saw limited action from him, i.e. short playtime he has been given so far, and I am not slating Lenny for this either, he is the manager , and he sees him in training etc, whereas, we only see players in action, on matchdays. There's a lot of things that I disagree with Lenny on, but he is the gaffer, and we back him, at least, that's my thinking. Lenny, I feel, knows this wee guy Bangura, has something special in him, I think he is going to be a big, big player for us, maybe not totally, this season, but watch him develop. He, is the type who thrives, in only, the thick of the action. He moves into good positionig, so he can begin an attack, he runs at a defence, he looks to have not too bad ball control. He is badly seeking to grab that first goal for us, I think, he is in the Sutty mode, ok but maybe will never hit big Sutty's heights as a player, but he will lay on goals for whoever he plays the joint striker's role with. He can certainly hold up a ball, and he can use the old Sutty trick of backing into defenders, sometimes, gaining us, many vital freekicks, penalty's etc. I, have openly stated on here, that I don't rate Stokes, but I rate Hooper. Right now though, I am wrong in that preference. Hooper, has had a poor start to the season, in my opinion, I just feel we aren't getting the full wack out of Hoops this season yet, I just don't see him with last season's pace, or accuracy. As for Stokes'y, the wee man, has impressed me more now, this season. If I was Lenny, I would, right at this moment of time, start with Hooper on the bench, and Stokesy starting with Bangura. Believe me, Hooper, will sharpen up like * to win his place back in the team. Genuinely, I feel we have the great potential here, to have three first class strikers at Parkhead, who all have a difference of quality within them, and who can all play alongside one another, whatever partnership is played. Keep the faith guys. :50: Oh by the way, did any of you notice the delight in Joe Ledley's face, when he scored his goal the day, he ran right to the fans, his fist pumping the crest as he ran :ynwacelti. This is another guy, who can play, and he always gives his all, in every game he plays for us, he craps out of nothing, he is with us for the long haul :62:

    I also thought he looked good, I wonder what the other two up there are expecting of him.

    I was watching the Real vs Rayo game, rayo had a bangura also a striker I think, spitting image of our bangura. May be his brother, the rayo bangura had a lot of the ball and looked quite good, he played quite like our bangura.

    Lass Bangura he was playing on the right wing, looked a lot like ours both appearance and style of play wise, was rayos best player.

    :31:* are some people who have posted here expecting from him ffs , he will need game time to find form .
    The main reason he should have started v County or gotten at least 45mins to help him settle in and gel with his team mates.

    Looked very promising to me.

    Like I said the very first time I saw Kayal, you can tell by the way he addresses the ball that he is quality. You don't need him to score a hat-trick to see that. :50:

    Looks promising so far. Good movement, pace and bits of skill

    He needs more game time before we can fully judge him

    The general consensus around us was that his movement is really lacking. He 'moves' a lot, but maybe lacks incisive, intelligent movement.

    In saying that, he does have the ability to do something a little out of the ordinary, so there's potential. It's just he does seem pretty rough around the edges at the moment.

    Not sure if you ( & those around you) rate him.

    A few on here rate him:50:

    Give the guy a break. He's hardly been here 5 minutes and not even started a game yet some feel able to comment on every touch and claim he is not all he's been made out to be. Or do some think Henrick recommended him just for a laugh and he was signed just on that say so?

    Sooner or later he will get his chance and once he's played a few games we'll be able to make a true assessment of how good he really is.

    If he could get a goal it would do him the world of good, i would really like to see him start a game at some point.

    The guy has barely played and you also have to remember that he didnt have much of a pre season before joining us, he needs game time

    Just cant get enough
    Dont see how he's going to get better by sitting on the bench.
    Give him a start ffs and lets get a proper look at him.
    Ross County would have been the ideal time to give him a run out from the start.
