Watched Samuel Kalu play in Gent's 1-0 loss to Anderletch. Was particularly disappointed with the way the Ghanaian kid (Francis Awudu) took him to school. Truth is dude is not ready for the SE - perhaps 2022, but certainly not now, on account of his play all season long.
Simon Moses' game, on the other hand, has improved tremendously. His touches, off and on the ball running and defending is close to top notch. Playing in the SE has done his psyche a lot of good and he looks quite sharp. My assessment is based on his performance over the last 3 games Gent played this month (Standard Leige - Dec 16, Chaleroi - Dec 21 and lastly Anderletch - Dec 26).

I agree, Simon's game has actually improved and he's playing with more confidence.

Amiens and Guingamp in the French Ligue 1 are interested in buying Kalu in the mid season January transfer period.

Hmmmm. I would love to see him move to a bigger league so we can assess him against better opposition.

He seems to have spent a lot of time defending against Amuzu. Not sure if that was an instruction from his coach or just him being an honest pro and tackling back.
