Duckens Nazon - is he the answer?

[Pengwern]

After yet another cracking goal from him for the under-23s, I would like to know the views of those who've watched the under-23s this pre-season and last season on whether or not he has progressed to the point where he should train with the first team and be in contention? He is a big unit, has pace and trickery and a powerful shot on him, so he seems to have the attributes and is now attuned to the English game.

I'm not interested in the views of those who haven't seen him or those who just see this as an opportunity to riff puns about his name.

 

[TurboTaco91]

Feed the Duck and he will score

 

[WolfLing]

According to the Telegraph Fantasy Football, he is the answer.

He is our most expensive striker at £4.2m and ahead of the likes of Gabby, Bent, Nugent, Campbell and Ward.

 

[Loojay]

You're quackers mate

 

[stunchild]

Yes, If the question is 'whats worth 28 points in scrabble?'

 

[Skrilla]

Not the kind of risk we need to be taking if we are serious about promotion. Send him on loan if he's doing well.

 

[Guzeppi]

So? Do those few have seen him please give us their views.
Just like the Pegwern I would like to know how he has progressed.

We won't be told that, it seems, mate! Instead, we'll just get the same stomach-holding comedy cracks as on the previous thread about him. That's unfortunately the level MM is at.

 

[Perton Wolf]

He's got some ability for sure but I'm not sure he's good enough for the level we are aspiring to under Nuno, albeit I haven't seen that much of him compared to other posters who regularly watch the U23's.

Saying that, I don't think he would do any worse than Bright or even Ronan when you consider the positions they will play in our new system. I'd like to see him given a chance vs Yeovil in one of the left or right forward spots but I doubt he will be.

 

[paddy]

Vokes

 

[JOSWolf]

I havent seen him play live but he has scored two stunning goals in pre season and from what I have read and seen on highlights is quick and strong. I would like him in the squad for the Yeovil game possibly along with Herc, who big things are expected of.

 

[Deleted member 4124]

Haha! DUCKens! That's almost as funny as Vinager. Hahaha! Quack! Hahahah

 

[Deleted member 4124]

He was a signing for our u23's in order to allow Bright, Wilson, Collins, Ennis etc. to play for the first team/go out on loan. I don't think he'll ever be in contention for the first team.

 

[WW1963]

Never seen him play but if this forum is the only indicator of his usefulness then we keep coming back to the very things prohibited from this thread.

It is in my subconscious that he is absolute tosh.

This place is very cult-like in that respect, giving you opinions that you didn't know you had and then cementing those opinions through repetition. Look into my eyes. Not into my eyes, but around the eyes. Dave Edwards. When you awake we will never have had this conversation but before I click my fingers, feed the Duck, absolute tosh, scrabble. Three Two One. Click

its a football forum not university challenge life is good laugh a bit

 

[WonderWolf]

The Duck is like any other player in with the U23s.

He was brought in because he had attributes that could with development prove beneficial. He wasn't scoring previously but is now bringing that on.

Could be that he like many foreign players with the benefit of a season over here for adjusting and acclimatising is now going to go from strength to strength.......could be high performance material like the tape.

Bound to benefit us if he is.

 

[Shergar]

Duckens is unknown on this side of the pond.

 

[Ercall Wolves]

I've only seen him play 4 times last season not seen him at all this pre season
But for me based on the performances of last season he is not good enough right now for the first team
He works very hard and he does have pace and would agree with a previous comment about going on loan getting some regular first team football and then who knows

 

[USA Wolf]

Let's start him on Tuesday and find out

 

[TurboTaco91]

I reckon we should give him a shot vs Yeovil. I don't see any reason not to.

 

[Benson]

His background is very strange. Why did he play in India after he had scored for fun for Haiti national team during 2015 and 2016?
How can he play and score for Haiti vs decent national teams but has never played for a club at a decent level?
I like the fact we have given him a chance. Would be fun and interesting to see him play vs Yeovil.

(in 2015 Gold Cup he scored vs both Panama and Honduras. They are not far behind USA)

 

[BrierleyHillWolves]

he is very good, reminds me on a young Steve Claridge

 

[goldeneyed]

I agree that it would be good to give him a run out vs Yeovil. Seen the two very good goals but not sure he is so hot on build up play. At the moment he has a real chance as we are so weak in our striker options but I suspect he will struggle to break through if we sign A.N. Other.

 

[WonderWolf]

Did we ever care to watch any vids on him?

For sure he does have something about him.

 

[Tezthewolvesfan]

By this clips he looks a very good player

 

[Loojay]

Haha! DUCKens! That's almost as funny as Vinager. Hahaha! Quack! Hahahah

Cheer up fam

 

[QB Wolf]

I would love Duckens to become a hero, would be a lot more satisfying than spending £20m on a striker.

 

[Deleted member 4456]

There's only one way to find out. Give him a whirl against Yeovil.

 

[WonderWolf]

Would be real nice for KT to come through with one too.

 

[AndyWolves]

As others have said give him a start against Yeovil but don't let that be his only chance.

I suspect the Yeovil team will be last year's first time so he might not get decent service

 

[Deleted member 4309]

Everything about him and the signing of him is all very odd. Surely he can't be happy playing in the kids team if he has anything about him.

 

[MotorWoden]

He seems like a similar sort of player to Bright. Strong and able to beat people but hit and miss with his end product.

 

[WonderWolf]

Well he is 23 and playing in the under 23s.

I would say given his previous with clubs he is desperate to prove his worth and earn a contract that could potentially deliver PL football or an opportunity to play at a good level.

He will be here to learn and sharpen up with the superior coaching available to him. Personally see nothing for him to be concerned about, and everything to be grateful for.

If it doesn't work out he will simply return to his previous level.

 

[Grendel74]

Saw that clip reel when he joined and thought there was a good player lurking. The goal he scores where he lifts it over the keeper has my brain doing a fart... bamboozles me every time I see it. If it was intentional then it's a touch of class. So looking at that selection of highlights he can pass, shoot, assist, has some vision, is fast and skilful... consistency is always the missing factor on a highlight reel though. If he's developed a bit of that over 12 months he would be a valuable asset.

 

[AndyY]

I haven't seen him play but Dicko (obviously), Mason (maybe!), Jota (maybe), Bright, Gibbs-White, Samuels all appear to be ahead of him. Given that the last 3 have an average age of about 17 1/2 (guess) but have all had some first team time it doesn't look,good for the duck, does it. A strange one.

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Goldeneye might have a comment.

I'm so so sorry Pengwern, I just couldn't help it.

Look mate I like a laugh as much as anybody in this forum - it's just all these ducking puns have been posted so many times before it has got to be totally boring!!

 

[Trill]

Loaned to Coventry until January.

 

[WS10Wolf]

Duckens Nazon is the answer, if the question is "Who has just been sent (on loan) to Coventry?"

Good luck to him, hope he scores a few goals.

 

[Skrilla]

Probably about his level. Hope he proves me wrong though!
