Beat me to it Pete. BBC saying he's an attacker though. Honestly I know nothing about this guy but in the viKING tm we trust!
Well if the wiki profile is accurate he's had 30 games since 2011 and 1 goal only. I'm not inspired and definitely underwhelmed by this signing if it goes ahead http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_Lamah
His stats doesn't look impressive but neither did Routledges before ML came. Mabye he is to be used as a winger.
There is another concern if that wasn't enough, according to this he hasn't played this season http://www.national-football-teams.com/v2/player.php?id=35399
Okay this looks more up to date, 15 games this season and 2 goals, really that's not good http://www.goal.com/en-gb/people/belgium/13571/roland-lamah
http://www.thisissouthwales.co.uk/story-17852756-detail/story.html? if it's on then lets see what he can do ,not one that stands out but we said the same about De Guzman (who I believe is improving). Mr Laurup has a knack of getting things right both on and off the pitch atm so for £1 million, worth a punt. If he can get a journey man like Wayne to up his game who knows who else ?
From what i have watched this season, he plays deep in a defensive midfield position. Similar to Leon, but enjoys going forward a little more. Two goals from there isn't bad in 15 games.
Hi I am a Spanish fan of Barclays Premier League and a Swansea supporter from Spain. I have watched all their matches even Capital One Cup and FA Cup and I wish you all the best for the rest of season and maybe winning capital trophy. As a Spanish I know what kind of footballer is Roland Lamah and I can say that I´m sure Michael Laudrup wants him as a replacement or sub for Wayne Routledge on the left winger, although He can also play on the right winger, but He doesn´t able to play as midfielder because his defense is poor. However He´s very strong and burly but the best of Lamah is his speed great for big matches where It is necessary to play counter attack. Greetings from Spain and nice to meet you or should I say nice to Michu Sorry for my English I´m not very good learning languages
Thanks for the info Feder, and your English is fine, After Sat, he is probably more of a replacement for Dyer.
ML has said before how he would like to have 4 wingers in the squad so maybe this is his option, cheap enough and versatile.
This bit interests me as this seems to be a big part of our play this season. I think Dyer's role on Saturday was to try and beat the offside trap with his pace and get into dangerous positions on the counter as there were a few balls hoofed up to him early on, but it just didn't come off. Maybe this guy can offer that much more. Cheers fedecar, always good to have some inside knowledge
Looks like ML is looking for another pacey winger. Lamah looks fast and plays mainly on the left side. Here's a video of one of his goals http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu6qRfq0Kdk
Allthough speed is good to have as a winger especially in counter attacks there are definitely attributes that a more important in Laudrups system than speed. I would be a bit concerned if his defensive skills would turn out inadequate and it would be nice if he were better in 1v1 than Dyer, who also has good speed.
When I´ve said Lamah´s defense wasn´t good I compared him to a defensive midfielder. I, ve watched both Roland and Dyer and I prefer Nathan without any doubt. I think RL comes to give a break for some players There are a lot of matches between Premier League, Capital One Cup and FA Cup Remember that against Everton there was a moment with Rangel playing in winger with Tiendalli behind him. That,s because from my point of view there are some very tired players and ML has,t got confidence in other
No doubt we could use a 4. winger and we will get one eventually. But in this system with offensive backs our wingers needs a certain level of defensive skills. Dyer is surely a player to keep, even though I find him struggling finding his feet in ML's system. A brilliant classic winger with pace, but hopefully he just needs some time to find his form and adjust to ML' system. Regarding Tiendalli and Rangel i'm sure that was first and for most a tactical decision to nullify Baines and Pienaar which worked brilliantly imo.
