Thread to discuss John Cofie.

*John Cofie.17. A Powerful Striker with Pace n full of skills.

*He was brought from Liverpool FC.

*After that he scored some briliant goals with lots of potential. But in the availability of W.Keane & J.King he cant get back his starting role XI every match.

**Dillip_purple** · 27-04-2010, 20:56

^^^Cont.

*Due to injury this season made him shorter involvement in the XI

*But recently United's Win at Italy(Claudio sassi tournament) he scored 2 goals in 2 games.

*Being frustrate at United for not getting starting role, Liverpool again tried back to persuade him. But failed.

*SAF told abt 4 players at the beginning of this season who are going to be United's future. Cofie was one among 4. Others were J.King,M.Eikrem,Kiko.

J.King & J.Cofie are both pacy,skilful with lots of potential.

But ahead of him by his look towards goals. Drag the ball n post into the net. That the way of player J.King is IMO. Very much dedicated. Aggrestive.

But Cofie. No. Personally i would like him 2 concentrate abt finishing & dedication 2 the game. That will be really impressed for all.

I didn't think he was that good from memory but this season he's looked very good in the 2 extended highlights i've seen. Hopefully he can continue in this way and end up a very good player.

Cofie has really grown bigger and stronger from last season, and looks very composed now... definite improvement from last year when his finishing wasn't the best and he was pushed off the ball pretty easily by defenders, now he seems a monster!

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 23-09-2010, 22:35

Really hope he gets a chance in the first team in a few years time. We're gonna have to play a new 3-0-7 in the future to accomodate all these young Strikers. Mental how many are coming through. Not surprising with Ole as a coach, I reckon he could turn me into a World Class finisher. haha.

**Dillip_purple** · 24-09-2010, 14:07

Ole Enjoying This Job At OT. I Cant See Him Left For Another. He Is Honest. Also He Before Repeatedly Said He Is So Lucky To Be At OT Even After Retirement.

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 25-09-2010, 14:24

Pretty sure Ole has said that he can't wait around forever and if he was offered a job he'd have to consider it.

Canhid thread be moved to the reserve forum?

Cofie scored in a 1-1 draw for Antwerp today.

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 02-03-2012, 00:11

Good to hear from him. One of our most underrated youngsters in my opinion. Didn't get a chance for the Reserves this season. Was brilliant at times last season, picked up an injury or 2 though and had to settle for a bench place in the FAYC. Saw him play in pre-season and he looked as though he'd get plenty of chances. Loan was best in the end but he probably would have got games at Reserve level with Diouf and Macheda out of the picture.

**Speedy** · 25-03-2012, 05:03

Fair enough, he's hardly out of order kicking off over that. Can't believe that manager didn't get singled out.....

**Sideshow Bob** · 25-03-2012, 16:30

Good on Cofie. The manager is completely in the wrong. Cofie looks to have put on some muscle.

**Sideshow Bob** · 27-03-2012, 21:16

Class goal from Cofie from the same match it seems.

**se7en** · 27-03-2012, 21:37

Nice finish

**Cordon726** · 19-04-2012, 20:52

I think Cofie is class. Last season he scored plenty in the youth and reserves, so underrated.

**Sideshow Bob** · 19-04-2012, 22:22

Cofie is another with bags of potential. He's probably grabbed less headlines with him playing for Antwerp. A loan with a Championship club could be an option next season.

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 19-04-2012, 23:54

It's a shame he was 4th choice in the reserves in the first half of the season, I don't think people realise that Will Keane was 3rd choice too for a while with Macheda and Diouf playing when they both left Cofie also went on loan. Would have liked to seen how he would have done in the Reserves, was more impressed by him than Keane when I saw the Reserves play in pre-season and until injury last season, he was on fire. Hopefully the loan will have been good for him though.
