Take what we can for him. Talented player but plays for himself and makes us a poorer overall team despite the moments he’s capable of. Crazy if we turned down in the region of a couple of million in January if the rumours were accurate.

If someone offers that kind of money then fine. However, he actually turned into a valuable member of the team under Johnson once he settled. He's a prime example of how badly we've slipped under Monty.

We need a team - not individuals- he’s too much of a luxury for me but I just hope we can get someone a bit like him but better and a team player .

He is what he is. Job of the manager is to recognise that and take him off if trying to see out a win

Futsal player. Never a football player. Said it for long enough

He gets the ball in promising positions, but you just know that his final pass (rare) and shot will be useless.

People slagged LJ for talking about 'football IQ'. I thought it was one of the few things he said that really made sense. Watching Youan for 10 minutes shows you what he meant.
Guy will score goals and get assists, his stats back that up, and he has bags of natural ability. Absolutely no brain in his head though so he's destined to play at a mediocre level for the entirety of his career.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

When he is in the right head space he has been impressive for us, when he isn't he is awful.

He’s clearly a very talented player, his decision making is hopeless 90% of the time though. He could’ve had a hattrick today.

Agree with everything that has been said on this thread about his lack of a football brain - but I would add one more criticism. He is without doubt the biggest *****bag I've ever seen as a professional footballer. How he's got to that age and has no ability to win a 70/30 tackle in his favour, let alone a 50/50 is utterly beyond me. He shat out of at least 3 tackles today, could have been more.
And on that point what also baffles me is that his teammates let him get away with it - no leadership, no one going mental at him. Symbolic of the boyband mentality that Lennon was often criticised for talking about.

Not for me. Will go against grain here. He has faults yes but also very talented. Keep him and get a manager that gets the best out of him. One of a few that I can be bothered watching. He frustrates the hell out of me at times but other times is unplayable. He was rubbish today but I still like him. Far more at fault in the team than Youan - starting with the goalkeeper and defence.
Youan was better than Marcondes today. And Boyle done nowt which is becoming the norm.
(Though I like Boyle too so would keep them both)

Should have been walking out with the match ball and a couple of assists.
How Montgomery didn't take him off is beyond me. Actually it's not really come to think of it.
How has he regressed so much?

He’s gone backwards under the current manager. I’d prefer to keep him and work with him to utilise his assets in the right way.

Cannae believe the grief he gets to be honest. He’s never gonnae be a superstar but **** me, compared to some of the guffys we’ve had even just the last few seasons he’s brilliant.
A very capable attacking threat, but he’s no the smartest and cannae track back.
Gies an Elie over a Chris mueller or Sylvester Jasper or Harry McKirdy or Kamberi anyday.
The guys no going to go to a higher level and succeed but I still always think he’s someone who can make something happen

It started on the first day of the season when Robinson came to ER with a plan to stifle our supply to them both and did a great job of it.
Yes, someone’s going to come on and provide stats suggesting Youan HAS provided an end product for us. Around those goals and assists though are some woeful performances, some costly defensive lapses.
Maolida has come in and shown some end product and consistency, without which we wouldn’t even have been in with a shout of top 6 at this stage in the season.
We have very few contracted players I’m looking forward to seeing next season. I like Cadden, NMW has promise. Can’t really be bothered with any of the rest of them.Last edited by Smartie; 13-04-2024 at 09:50 PM.

A very frustrating player for sure but there's plenty of other players in the squad who should be getting stick before him.
A good Manager, if we ever get one, would work out how to get the best out of him and when to play him and when not to play him, e.g., hook him in the last 10 minutes of the Ross County game.
