Jimmy Kebe

[sawyers left arm]

I don't think he is the most over rated player ever for me that was Stephen Hunt, pure crap IMHO but Kebe isn't far behind. The guy was plucked from the 2nd tier of French football and I have never rated him. If he leaves I will be cheering from the roof tops as Mccleary is a much better player, at least he tries every game.

He's a proper outlet for teams under pressure, able to carry the ball long distances very quickly.

and then trip/fall over the ball or slice it into the stands 9 time out of 10, for the games I can remember him playing in

[The Rouge]

People are idiots.

Kebe has been our stand out player for many, many games. As Mags said, his ability to carry the ball long distances and turn defence into attack was so valuable in most of the big games/perfromances we have played/had over the last 3-4 years.

Hunt was our best player for 1.5 seasons out of 2 when we were in the Prem the time before last.

Jimmy Kebe is class, no doubt.
If he was fit for more of last season, we would have accumulated more points.
He's a bit like Arjen Robben in that his body just isn't up to a full season in the English leagues.
So the manager needs to accept this and find a solution. Not publicly brand the player as a sick-note. Kebe knows his body better than the medical team. Following an examination, the medic reports to Adkins that Kebe's fit, while Kebe reports back saying he's not fit. Knowing how arrogant medics are, he probably didn't even ask Kebe how the injury felt, jus thought he knew better.

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

If he was a horse he would have been put down by now.

Many games means about 5-10 a season - and that isn't good enough - I would much rather see a player put in a good performance every game rather when it suited him - even if he doesn't have the same ability as Jimmy .

Great player on his terms not ours

Let him sulk on someone else's Bench - and use the money to buy a winger who will try against all teams in all Leagues !!

[Haag Royal]

Looks like Palace are now talking to Benayoun so could be a bit interesting if they've lost interest in Kebe and he is left here - wonder what will happen then

You do realise that at the weekend Kebe phoned into BBCRB to tell them he was fit and ready to play?

48 hours later he let the club know he wasn't fit enough for last nights game.

[sandman]

Haven't you all "let it go" yet?

I don't think he has played 'many many games'. About a total of 2.

Lol kebe and alf are the 2 most overrated players by a country mile

Exactly the same qualities that made Michael Gilkes a Royals Legend.

Closely followed by McCleary and Mariappa.

[URZZZZZ]

Then Pearce and jobi

[sandman]

Then Pearce and jobi

No, this is overrated, not underrated.

[URZZZZZ]

Seriously tho if I was adkins I would have had jimmy in at the crack of dawn with everyone else who played last night and they would have been on the training ground till dark. Going over the same thing agai and again

[URZZZZZ]

Oh and Pearce is massively overrated

Sorry but that is nonsense. Do you realise just how shyte hot sports science and medicine are nowadays?! I have no doubt that Kebe was fit to play but is back to his old tricks trying to force the club's hands. It didn't need Adkins to publically brand him as a sick-note - the evidence is there for all to see and has been for a couple of seasons. In my view Kebe is a player whose mind takes a lot longer to heal than any physical injuries. That is particularly the case when he and/or the team are under pressure.

The club should demonstrate that they are not prepared to let him call the shots and hammer him for his conduct over the past week. They could start off with the phone in to BBCRB, which I am sure would not have been an approved/authorised interview and response.

[sandman]

Yeah but Jobi isn't.
