formerly known as ivan Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 Anyone else see a lot of similarities between him and Semenyo? Obviously hasn’t had the benefit of a lower league loan like Semenyo, but Yeboah is physically strong, pacy, had a trick up his sleev. Even in the way he runs I can see similarities. Im sure we will be asking in years to come if we think Yeboah is a natural goal scorer or not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudyThatchers Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 He reminds me a bit of Leroy Lita when he first was started his career with City. I reckon once he get his first senior goal they will start flowing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citywest30 Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 Watched a bit of the stream last night from Argyle TV and they said he was the son of former Leeds striker Tony Yeboah. Is that right? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 I love watching him play, and he must be an absolute nightmare to play against. Can't say he reminds me of Semenyo at all if I'm honest, seems a completely different type of player. 1 minute ago, citywest30 said: Watched a bit of the stream last night from Argyle TV and they said he was the son of former Leeds striker Tony Yeboah.

HappyClapper Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 Went to the game with a mate who coaches at the academy. He had coached Yeboah, and said he had never come across a young player who was so competitive and so determined. He was in danger of being released after Christmas last year, but basically said no way, and played the end of the season as if his life depended on it and silenced the doubters. That was basically 18/20 months ago. He really really wants it. We might’ve found another gem. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 He looks promising but….really needs to cut these silly fouls out. I love he has an edge but he’ll need to learn to play a full game and not be sent off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 He’s only 17, so at this young age his potential is obvious. Give him another two years and he’ll be attracting bids from Premier League clubs just a Scott did. What I particularly like is his defensive attributes, as that’s unusual in a young attacking player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 He’s going to be some player. You can tell. His pace and strength is genuinely frightening. He’s in the first team set up to stay as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norn Iron Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 Who else thought Ephraim was sent off moments before the final whistle? Even Robins TV said this after he was shown a second yellow. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laner Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 Silly fouls and a shocking one at the very end of the game. Wasn't sure if the ref only gave a yellow as he was going to blow the whistle a second later. Even at a his young age, he must know you can't do things like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossi the Robin Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 Couldn’t believe how quick he was, was literally in second gear as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollywhyte Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 He actually reminds me of Bolasie if I had to chose someone. Ungainly and raw but effective. Always looking to be positive. Id put money on him getting a red card for an outrageous challenge at some point this season Could be a real gem for us in a year or two 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolasie never really worked out with us (anyone who claims they thought he was half as good as Albert at the time is definitely lying), but this lad reminds me of the early Palace Yannick. Lightening quick, physically strong, unpredictable & sometimes a bit unfocused. His determination & work rate are something else though, gets back to support his full back & seemingly plays without fear. You’re right for a kid he’s completely unfazed by the physical stuff & puts in some reckless challenges at times. Has real potential though, fair play to the lad.

Ivorguy Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 Watching on Sky,I was most impressed by his positioning when not on the ball. I agree with others I think he is the real deal. Oh to have a young dynamic and charismatic centre forward. Can’t wait to see him score. Will he cartwheel back to the centre circle like the great John Atyeo. Here’s hoping.
