Yann Kermorgant - Saint or Sinner ?

edited February 2012 in General Charlton
I think it can safely be said that since his arrival at The Valley Yann has proved to be a resounding success on the pitch with some fine goals along with hardworking and courageous performances firmly cementing him as a fans favourite. It does seem though that Yann has a darker side that we catch glimpses of but seems to be kept solely for opposition players. We have seen Yann have a kick out and yesterday there have been suggestions of a head but although I certainly didn't see it. Surely it can't be any coincidence that there is now a list of players from our opponents that have felt the need to take Kermit by the throat but allcomers seem to have come of worse at least in the disciplinary sense. Is he a wind up ? A toe treader, an elbow digger a sledger ? Or just a misunderstood hardworking centre forward. Not had anyone in this mould at Charlton before to my knowledge at least not at this standard.

    Sinner but we love it

    Great player to have on our side, would not be a fan at all if he was an opposition player. Therefore atm at Saint.

    Does worry me sometimes that he may do something stupid and get a silly red card but so far so good this season.

    He's French.

    Saint.

    Glad for once we have someone who winds the opposition up but can also show the class.

    He's just a professional footballer. A saint compared to footballing legends like Norman Hunter and Chopper Harris and more recently the likes of Alan "elbows" Shearer.

    As long as he doesn't deliberately injure anyone there's nothing wrong with mixing it up with the oppo a bit as I see it. Had enough of players in Charlton shirts flinching at their own shadows over the past few years and good to see someone with a pair of bollox getting stuck in for the cause and if he winds them up whilst doing it all the better.

    Tough French bastard and wind up merchant extraordinaire. Viva la Kermit.

    Kerm and Haymer are two players that if you were the opposition or the opposition fans you would hate.

    Saint and sinner, as so many of the best players are.

    Complete bastard if you're watching from the Jimmy Seed stand. The warrior king if you're watching from the other end!

    A real 100%er

    Most of the time that I have been following and supporting Charlton, we have been a 'nice team'. Whilst not advocating a 'get your retaliation in first' policy, to have someone in the team with a bit of arrogance and hard headedness (to put in mildly) like Kermorgant shows that we are not prepared to be bullied and kicked about and just take it lying down. The Curbishley side that I knew and loved the most had a few tough nuts: Mills, Youds, Bowen, Bright, Kinsella, none were averse to putting it about a bit. It would be nice to think that football is all about passing, hand shakes and 'well done old chaps' but it isn't and someone like Kermorgant is essential for any team that has designs on success. If the opposition know that they will not get away with kicking their way to a win they will be less likely to start. The USA & USSR back in the good old days of the 70s and 80s called it mutually assured destruction .. IF you get my drift

    He's one of ours, so therefore a Saint. Centre Halves like to dominate Centre Forwards and they can't do that to Big Yann as he tends to win most things in the air. I would suspect he is more sinned against than Sinner.

    its his garlic breath that gets 'em rattled!
  • addick16addick16
    is there any video up yet from the dons game or even just the kermorgant/mackenzie red card incident?
  • CHGCHG
    Love the man, my modern favourite.
  • AddickUpNorthAddickUpNorth
    I'm liking his style. Saint!
  • GarrymanilowGarrymanilow
    Adore the man but he's definitely got the unpleasant side of his game down. Remember Powell saying that when he spoke to Kerms he told him if he was going to sign him he'd have to change his attitude around others. I wonder if he did, or is he regularly getting nutted by Michael Morrison in training? Either way the class he has on the ball combined with his tendancy to inspire bloodlust in other players makes him extremely entertaining

    One of my top three in the current team.

    Allegedly he doesn't like being called Kermit. So perhaps there's a new nickname in there!

    No saint, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

    I'm sure he'd like nothing more than to be called Garlic Breath ;-)

    He'll quite possibly tell you he's not.

    He is a saintly sinner and I think he is an immense signing
  • IdleHansIdleHans
    He's a sinner. But he's OUR sinner!

    As long as he's a winner, I don't care!

    Are you saying that he'd lie ? That definately makes him a sinner.

  • RobRob
    No question. He's a saint for us. Opponents probably don't think so but so what.
