I'm not expecting him back or anything but it's weird seeing him in all the training vids the club have put up. I'd have though MR would bomb him out or at least not spend the money to take him up to Scotchland.

Limey · Jul 24, 2020

Last chance saloon. Hopefully fitness levels are up somewhat.

skybluesam66 · Jul 24, 2020

Maybe he will turn it around
Remember Adebola -the ultimate figure of fun before he went off on loan - Came back and we all loved him
Could Kastaneer be the new Adebola

The first and last time I saw someone being properly racist at city was someone doing the monkey bollocks at Adebola in the West Terrace.

PVA · Jul 24, 2020

I can't actually see it happening, but I would love for him to make an impact this season.

PCH · Jul 24, 2020

I think of him as more Ebola than Adebola

Magwitch · Jul 24, 2020

Well I think there could be a player in there and worth preserving with for a while he’s on contract so what is there to lose. You never know.

AFCCOVENTRY · Jul 24, 2020

Maybe we will leave him in Scotland?

If we do ... there could be a food shortage in Scotland very soon

Listening to the interview with Bakayoko, he raves about Kastaneer’s ability so definitely a player in there. Just needs to focus. Could come good but I’m not holding my breath.

Was it against Bradford that Reid wanted to bring Adebola on, to a chorus of boo's and jeers. And yet, when he came on, he was running their defence all over the place and getting cheered!

clint van damme · Jul 24, 2020

In my opinion any professional athlete that lets their fitness go as much as he has is a wrong un.

Grendel · Jul 24, 2020

Hope they’ve stocked up on deep fried Mars Bars

Offhegoes · Jul 24, 2020

There were flashes last year. Maybe the promotion will kick him into gear. With his size, perhaps he should be considered up front

There was I think of the Portsmouth away game upto his comical sending off he was a real handful for the Pompey defence.

gspotgaz · Jul 24, 2020

I can’t see how he’ll ever have much of an impact, especially now a division above.

He has some decent physical attributes but he just sprinted around with his head down trying to pull shots off from ridiculous angles..., he’ll be a goner I think

Sky_Blue_Dreamer · Jul 24, 2020

Unless his attitude is affecting the other players and squad cohesiveness I'm fine with keeping people involved.

Maybe he isn't the hardest worker in the world (I don't know) but that doesn't instantly mean he's disruptive. Maybe infuriating because others think he could be doing better but it doesn't mean he can't be likeable.

It's if he was getting picked for the team while not trying hard that would get under my skin more, but MR isn't doing that so I reckon it's fine.

Mr Panda · Jul 24, 2020

I'd like to see him get a run out of sorts in pre-season. Though I imagine it's difficult to change MR's mind once it's been made up.

CCFC54321 · Jul 24, 2020

Don’t think he will be here start of the season if someone’s prepared to take him off our hands. No way should a professional athlete be in that shape to play 90 mins. Unforgettable when he was warming up at MK dons.

Just two words... Battered Haggis.

Available from all good chip shops in Scotland.

CovLis86 · Jul 24, 2020

I'm hoping the covid and promotion combo might kick him into gear. Shouldn't be the case with a professional but maybe seeing how many players will be without a club over next couple of years he might buck his ideas up and there is definitely a player in there, and if focused he could have good squad impact. Let's see how preseason fairs.

fatso · Jul 24, 2020

Some players take a while to settle in a new country, but from now on he has no excuses, he has had more than enough time to get himself fit and ready for the new season, and the championship is a good level to play at, so there should be no motivational problems for him.
I’d back him till Christmas, but if he hasn’t impressed by then, he should be offloaded, or loaned out till the end of his contract.

wingy · Jul 24, 2020

Maybe he may settle better with a few more Europeans in the camp?

Fitness is about strength of mind and if he's suffering (depression, homesick etc), that can be a feeder for other symptoms.

better days · Jul 24, 2020

Doubt he'll play tomorrow - looks like he's playing as spinner for the West Indies in the Test Match against England today

standupforcity · Jul 24, 2020

Huge potential... but that's it at the moment...

Nick · Jul 24, 2020

Thing is, so many people comment on players being fat etc but their fitness levels are still miles above ours and sometimes it can be muscle / their build.

I remember Gary Deegan when he played for us, he looked tubby but took his shirt off after a game and was like a machine. Akinfenwa, bloke is a knob but he's not fat.

KersleyDigs · Jul 24, 2020

He knows Hamer well, so hopefully he will help him settle in at least. He might even benefit having Hamer around too. Be less homesick (if that has been an issue)

Nick · Jul 24, 2020

Did he know him beforehand??

People would say Traore at wolves would be slow due to his size. But he is rapid. Not sure why our fan base think they are all sport scientists.

Maybe we should give him a chance this season

Nick · Jul 24, 2020

He still has brownie points from me for when he got stuck in and booked while on the bench when somebody was giving McCallum some shit.

mrtrench · Jul 24, 2020

I'd love to see Kasta come good. He cannot be happy, it would be wonderful to see him turn his career around.

What have I missed? Is he fat now?

No, he has always been fat!
I'd have him on the bench though, just incase it kicks off.
