I'm right behind Clark, but he's not infallible. He had the same time to look at Werlinger (and then some)... and still got him very wrong! It happens. I'll hazard a guess that Tehoue's not in his top five choices (of those we could reasonably sign) even now. Maybe not, but the lad must have something about him otherwise he'd have called off the transfer as soon as it started to get complicated. I think a lot of the problem with Werling (and Jukeivitch) was their attitude rather than their ability anyway, and he's now had plenty of time to decide whether Tehoue will fit in or not. Maybe you're right. Have to disagree about Werling, though... he made Tom Clarke look world class at full back! His reputation with some Town fans was built on one tackle. He was the furthest thing from a footballer I've ever seen on a football pitch.

I bet he didn't play more than 20 minutes in total, and half of that was on the wing. Although you're right that he certainly did nothing of note, and it was strange how he was hyped up a bit by some.

I'd love to see him play for Town. You could tell the Fenerbache players had no idea how to deal with him. [glow=red,2,300]Pace and power will frighten the 3rd division players to death[/glow]. You have brayed the nail, firmly on the head berty. Skill and the ability to pick out passes is not a necessity at this level, we need a striker who can knock players off and stab the ball home. Just imagine Tehoue playing against Clarke and Butler. Based on the you tube clip, he would kill them. Don't you think Clark saw tehoue pitch up against Clarke and butler every day in training for 3 weeks? he was so impressed he waited until all his other options had fallen through and signed him at the last minute. If you're judging him on the youtube clip, most defenders in the division will just stand off him and let him f*ck the move up on his own! I can knock defenders about and stab home the ball. Should i apply? You're probably doing the lad a disservice making out he can't actually play and is just some big lump. He'll be better than that. But going by his career so far,I doubt hes as good as some in this thread are making out either.

But going by his career so far,I doubt hes as good as some in this thread are making out either. So you'd offer a contract straight away? The real reason I reckon Clark signed Tehoue in the last minute was because he found out at the last minute he was still registered at another club so with time looming it would be time to tie up a deal or not have him at all because he's owned by a club? I think if Clark didn't know about him having a club he would have waited longer as the free transfer window extends past the transfer window iirc.

So they signed a player they thought was under contract at another club without any dialogue between the 2 clubs? Don't think so!
They thought he was a free agent. Theyve said that. As far as they were concerned they could have waited a week ,a month, whatever. but Clark had failed to bring in his targets so tehoue was the 'make-do' so was signed as soon as the others fell through.

Probably, yes. Clubs were probably asking too much money and maybe some targets didn't want to drop to our level. Maybe clubs didn't want to let players go mid-season. Could be any of a few reasons why his targets didn't come off back then.
bit different in the summer though. More time, more players out of contract, much more movement in the market that frees up players to move. basically hes much more likely to snag the players he wants in the summer than he was in January. Thats why Ill be shocked if Tehoue ever plays for us. Like in January, if we sign him, it will probably mean Clark hasn't been able to get in who he wants, so i hope we don't see him.

I know this is basing this on basically one game but if a play off side like Leeds can struggle to contain the physically absent Kiegan Parker on their own turf then I'm sure that a wrecking ball like Tehoue can cause teams problems with his pace and power.
Whether he could do it week in week out is another debate but if he could hassle League 1 defenders like he did Champions League club Fenebahce then he could be a useful player.
He would be another option up front other than:
Jevons: Do nothing Parker: Do very little Denton: Warm the reserves bench Novak: I've not really seen huch of him to know his strengths yet Other strikers we sign: Depends who they are of course

They thought he was a free agent. They might have done at first, but they didn’t risk it because they never put him anywhere near a competitive game for the 1st or 2nd teams

They wouldn't have signed him if they didn't think he was a free agent. It was only after theyd signed him when they approached the turkish FA for his registration documents that it became apparent he was still under contract at another club.

Didn't you go to Kwame Houduto's only appearance when he was subbed after 20 mins after performing like the fat kid at school who's forced to play by the teacher,but doesn't want to?

Kwami Hodouto played twice. Looked decent in 1 game and terrible the next.

www.tff.org/Default.aspx?pageId=526&kisiId=1064172looking at this he is contracted til May 2011. How much would he cost and what would his wages be? Doubt he'll ever be a town player whilst we're splashing the cash on Robbie Simpson/Ricky Lambert/Danny Graham and Chris Lucketti.

Not one of you... NOT ONE OF YOU... has EVER seen him play!
You are eulogizing about a player you have only ever seen on a very short video. It beggars belief!
If he were to turn out to be a gem... then brilliant! But you can't possibly be saying he IS a gem, 'cos you have NO IDEA!
I, like you... HOPE he is!

He played for us in a behind closed doors friendly away at Blackburn who had a decent side out. By all accounts he knocked their defence about and bagged a decent goal. Think Werling won it for us with a 40 yard free kick ;D I didn't see it by the way but surely someone must have?

Indeed There was tongue in cheek - I just forgot the emoticon Change of tack... what's your favourite KOL album? Tough one... I'm one of those awkward people who like a handful of songs from albums so justs cuts them together to form 1 super album... I'd say they all have their pro's and cons; Aha Shake Heartbreak: Not a fan of this album - very raw and unpolished which some people will love but I've never been able to get into it and the only 2 songs I like are The Bucket and Four Kicks. Because of the times: Like this one! It's got quite an atmospheric charm about it and is a decent driving album if you've got a long journey to make as it's soothing in some ways despite delivering some good rock tunes... I like My Party, True Love Way, Ragoo, Fans, Trunk, Knocked up and On Call but the album is almost ruined by Charmer which is a terrible song IMO. The first 2 times I listened to the album I got as far as Charmer and turned off as I couldn't stand the screeching. It took months for me to give it another go! Only by the night: Think this is my favourite - some great tunes on here. Closer is the best for me (and my fave KOL song along with Holy Roller!) and tops the single Sex on Fire which despite being overplayed is a good song too as are use somebody, Manhatten, Revelry, 17, Notion, Be somebody and cold desert. Top album. Youth and Young Manhood: Pushes Only by the night very close but I think there are some duff songs on here unlike Only By the Night which is pretty consistent - some raspy and top songs on here though like Red Morning Light, Holy Roller Novacaine, California Waiting, Spiral Staircase, Mollys Chambers, Genius, So in short I'd go for: 1. Only By The Night 2. Youth and Young Manhood 3. Because of the times 4. Aha Shake Heartbreak.

Only by the Night is the worst album in my opinion. A couple of good obvious tracks but lacks the depth of the others.
I would go: 1. Because of the times 2. Youth and Young Manhood 3. Ah Ha Shake Heartbreak 4. Only By The Night
Been the best band in the world for the last two years, and possibly since they released Ah Ha Shake Heartbreak in 2004.

Got into them with 'Aha Shake Heartbreak', so unlike your good self, I really like this album. Then immediately I had the joy of being able to buy their first 'Youth and young Manhood' which felt rougher and less polished but equally brilliant and ultimately more so.
'Because of the Times' initially disappointed, but grew on me eventually, especially after hearing lots of it played live.
However, I have to disagree with Lionel and say 'Only by the Night' is my favourite. An instant classic. I think the bigger, more arena like sound isn't to everyone's taste but I think they have moved into that area seamlessly without leaving their early stuff behind. They are the complete package... head and shoulders the best band around.
1. Only by the Night 2. Youth and Young Manhood 3. Aha Shake Heartbreak 4. Because of the times

The rest I could leave. Best KOL song is probably Knocked Up... although their albums are full of tunes.
