Yeboah

[formerly known as ivan]

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!

[CloudyThatchers]

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!

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?

[elhombrecito]

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.

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.

Can’t say he reminds me of Semenyo or Lita.

No.

I heard that too. However if you check Wikipedia page it says he is. 

[Henry]

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.

Yes i know. But its probably why the Argyle pundits said it.

Any journalist who relies uncritically on Wiki deserves everything coming their way!!

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. 

[petehinton]

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. 

[Norn Iron]

Who else thought Ephraim was sent off moments before the final whistle? Even Robins TV said this after he was shown a second yellow. 

[Laner]

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.

@And Its Smith that’s one way he resembles Semenyo…he’d do dodgy tackles when he first got in the team.

I certainly thought he was booked for pulling the player back earlier on

[Rossi the Robin]

Couldn’t believe how quick he was, was literally in second gear as well 

[ollywhyte]

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

[2015]

Seems to have a great attitude and has shown experience beyond his years from the games played. Looks promising.

Thought he was at first although the ref seemed to let him off as the game was practically over.

Yes, hes pretty raw but scary quick,, and  it feels like the fanbase has really taken to him. Id love for him to get a goal!

I thought the same but looked back in BBC live chat and think it might have been Tanner that picked up the card?

Yes, I was just going to post Bolasie too. Love an on the edge tackle, but it's certainly heart in the mouth stuff. 

[tin]

He’s very raw but bloody quick and I suspect he will be a real handful when he fills out in a few years.

Exactly what I see.

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.

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.
