Overrated… Kenwyne Jones
By Ash (inthestands.co.uk)
I was thinking of giving ol’ Kenwyne an intro but I cannot be bother to sugar coat this. He’s shit, he’s slow and generally a bit of a lumbering pillock. How Sunderland have managed to fleece Stoke £8 million for this “player” I have no idea.
I saw Kenwyne play against Man Yoo last year in the 2-2 draw and I was amazed at what I saw. You hear all these superlatives and on the tele he looks a handful, but what I saw that day was a young man without a footballing brain. He wasn’t making the right runs, he was miles slower than I thought he’d be and all he did was just be there. If it wasn’t for Ben Foster having no confidence in his ability at all that day, he never would have grabbed a goal.
But one thing that I did mention was presence. He is a big, big lad and he burly presence is probably the reason why Stoke brought him in. The only problem is he doesn’t bring much else to the party, sort of like an Emile Heskey. Useful, but useful doesn’t make you a good player.
Don’t believe me? Go buy your Premiership tickets when he is playing or Aston Villa tickets, as they are their next opponents and see what a terribly overrated player he is. That is if he is even playing…
