    I know its controversial but Leil Abada was a far superior player.

    It's not really controversial, he absolutely was

    That is probably one of the least controversial takes I have seen. Abada scored some massive goals for us against Rangers, late winners including that game against DUTD early new year 2022 and for two seasons got good goal and assist numbers from being in and out the team.

    Abada was worse at dribbling 1v1 than Yang but a far better and more intelligent footballer than Yang and was doing it whilst younger than Yang was 19-21 vs 21-23.

    Abada was a great signing, Yang has not been.

    Abada was a better player than Kuhn

    Folk still arguing for Yang when the Huns have picked up a far superior winger for buttons from Sheffield Wednesday with an actual end product.

    * wake up, you and the Board, before it’s too late.

    He just doesn't have any sort of consistency, he puts on a decent performance a few games in a row then is utter * again.

    He realistically should have been sold last summer, yet he's likely going to be here until January at the latest, a farce to say the least.

    How is that even remotely controversial?


    Yangs not even the level below Abada.

    Haksabanovic was better than Yang ffs

    Has this way of looking as if he's beaten his man without actually having beaten him. He just engages his man before he's actually even near him making it a lot easier to track him.

    There really should be no debate, regardless of doing well or not in one game or another.
    Anyone can have a good moment or run or try hard.

    Fundamentally, this lad has very poor technique, lacks footballing intelligence, composure and confidence and he has poor passing and crossing ability.

    He's now played 66 times for us.
    Despite his admirable hard work, Yang is nowhere near the level required at this club.
    Simple.

    4 goals in 4 games

    Yang has 7 in 66 appearances. The math is fairly simple.

    Yang would be the huns’ fourth best winger, and yet he’s really our best option to start on the right.

    Forrest is levels above but doesn’t seem to be able to regularly start matches.

    Yang is pish both domestically and in Europe so I’m not understanding your point.

    Gassama is quite clearly better than Yang.

    Whether he’s 100 times worse than he has been so far in Europe is immaterial, he won’t be any worse than Yang. That’s the point.

    I’ve no came on to say Yang is better just to say gassama isn’t the best person to compare against as he was totally missing against Motherwell

    Abada did a decent job and had a knack of arriving at the back post to score, but when that dried up he was pretty useless as a winger. There's absolutely no reality in which he was better than Kühn.

    I honestly think that's a criminal take. He's nowhere and I mean nowhere near Kuhn..

    Aye and beats a man coming inside to do absolutely nothing with it..

    He was better than the last 4 months of khun. In no reality he wasn't.
