Was pretty happy with the way N'Koudou was playing in the first half against Wycombe. Thought his sub was harsh and it turns out he was pulled due to a knee issue.

Made a couple of less than desirable decisions but overall he offered some variation in attack.

To be honest I forgot he was on the pitch. Another really bad signing

I think you're wrong on this one.

he hasn't been right on anything yet, but I guess there is always a first time
 
Wasn't impressed with his performance but have liked what I have seen previously.

I think Poch needs to start showing a bit more faith in the lad.
 
He has promise, he could turn out to be the best of the Summer signings.

He has pace and tricks, which we do miss from time to time
 
I was surprised at how many Spurs fans slated N'Koudou's Wycombe performance. I thought he was one of the only players pushing the game forward and getting balls into the box. I'd like to see him and Janssen on the pitch at the same time more. I think they could suit each other.

Getting balls into the box, usually hitting the first defender or over hit and going out the other side for throw ins will not get us very far. I’d like to see him getting his head up, picking people out and end product.

In the Wycombe game his crossing was definitely off, but in his previous performances doesn't he have 2 assists from mm perfect crosses?

He did, but Rich is also right, whilst he was pushing forward and he did get himself into a couple of very good positions, his composure deserted him - he'll learn.

Two assists off our platform of regular dominance does not cut it. Quality and quantity of output is the aim.

He's learning, so I'm sure it will improve. The point I was making though was at least he was slinging the ball into the box. Too many of our players seem too scared to do that. I do agree that I would like him to get his head up more, but from what I've seen so far he does do that and has been producing some nice crosses.
 
Poch certainly gets it wrong when it comes to signing forward players. N'Jie, Janssen, N'kou, Sissoko .
 
When Rose is out injured, N'Koudou is the only player we have who has some qualities that Rose has, yet he doesn't get a look in.

Poch has treated him shockingly. All that effort over the summer to get him for the odd 5 minute cameo. Poor management.
 
According to reports this morning it looks like we are, or at least open to offers for him returning to France:

What makes this one even odder is we spent all summer chasing him.....

Personally think he's looked ok when he's played.

What is going on with our transfer policy, its depressing.
 
I don't believe this, he seems to be settling well with the group and seems well liked. All his cameos he' looked bright. He's 21, sure he will be given a chance
 
It's nonsense, we'll not sell him unless they are prepared to pay ridiculously over the top for him...

Still think that he'll show his worth, but not until next season.
