    That reminds me of when everyone on here was ****ting themselves when Paul Hart was favourite to be our manager post Pardew, before it was explained that in a market such as a league 1 clubs next manager... it was probably a skate chucking £20 on that made him favourite <laugh>

    Yeah, some people don't get odds. You will only know something is up when the odds are not worth putting on.

    That's why I always get nervous when I see a big odds swing before there are rumours on here. Like when the odds on Atkins being replaced by Poch nosedived before anyone here thought it was more than a random rumour...we couldn't have had time to cause that.

    A lot of information gets leaked though, like a big chain. Family tell friend -> tells friend -> etc.

    I made like £800 when villa sacked Paul lambert, as I heard about it when the odds were still really high. Just have to know someone who knows someone :)

    That might be a bad sign. Remember the moaning about Pelle and Bertrand when they signed? Turned out alright for us.

    If he's not an out and out striker, perhaps he fulfils both some of the scoring and creating issues?

    Anyone know if he makes goals too?

    Not a very good passer from what I remember, no idea about crossing, but he can make things happen. I mean, he can play as a striker, but the optimal formation for him would probably be a 4-3-3 with him wide and a creative player on the opposing side, and a good (and mobile) striker, so he can make runs and effectively serve as a second striker when the ball isn't at his feet.

    His hold-up play is meant to be pretty good, so maybe he'll have an immediate & positive knock-on effect for Long, etc.

    DOES HE SCORE FOOTBALL GOALS? CAN HE KICK A SOCCERBALL IN THE GENERAL DIRECTION OF THE NET?

    If yes, SIGN HIM, NOW.

    He's a very offensive player. He swears at defenders.

    He's prolific on a per-minute basis; scores goals over his career at a rate that, if he starts the majority of games and scores at that pace, would translate to 15+ goals a season. It's just a question of whether that will translate in a larger role, because he hasn't been a regular starter in his three seasons with Napoli.

    Just looking through his Wikipedia page and this jumped out at me -

    On 9 July 2010, Gabbiadini joined Serie B side Cittadella, along with Daniele Gasparetto, in co-ownership deal for a peppercorn of €500

    Imagine what we could get for a Bernaise? Blue Cheese?
