    Good record over the last 4 seasons. Would rather we persued other targets but at £6mill we haven't got much to lose.

    Must admit I've never heard of him but figures look decent for last few seasons and seems to be on the fringe of the French national side, might be worth a punt.

    Can't see it, think the striker we will sign will be more known than him.

    Heard good things about him from mates in France who reckon he's worth a few more call ups in French freindlies before Euro 2012.

    Never heard of the lad admittedly. But, his numbers look okay. And, if he's on the fringes of the France squad he must have something about him!

    This is ridiculous...

    He's french, unheard of on here and probably unknown to the scouting networks of all the other premier league clubs...

    Where do these rumours come from? We don't want to be stuck with another Tiote or Cabaye... putain de merde!

    Two possibilities really, either he's another top player to get for peanuts, or he's a load of **** and we're trying to bluff Comolli at Liverpool...

    Haha! Would be very clever. Everyone knows Comolli just raids Carr's bin for scout reports.

    Scored goals where ever hes been so far, decent ratio. Cannot really have any other opinion until I watch him play. Bring on the weekend!

    I would prefer him over Maiga. He is tall as well so would work well upfront on his own with either Ba or Ben Arfa supporting him and linking up play.

    From Ligue 2 to French National side call up? Looks quality. Also 6' 3", In Carr we trust.

    This isn't the rumour started by Caughtoffside.com is it?

    Because that site is full of crap.

    Seen a bit of Giroud this year and he looks a decent player, I'd love for us to sign him


    You're right, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.

    To be honest I think we'll be linked with numerous players but If we are signing this Maiga bloke I'd be very surprised if we bought another. Perhaps it's in are plans to flog someone up tops? hope not. I'd be happier we boughta good central defender and a striker. that's all we really need

    Lovenkrands wants to go, and I'd be surprised if Ranger is around for much longer.
