Looks like this may have legs. Word coming from french sources that we've bid 10.5 million euros. Never seen him play and done some digging. Sam has had scouts at quite a few of Bordeaux's games. He's 24, right footer. Can play LW,LF,CAM,RW,RF but not a ST(Wanderer will be jizzin) 20 league appearances this season scoring 5 and creating 7. Last season he scored 9 and created 7 in 32. Mostly playing on the Left and centre in the hole. Looks like our Ayew alternative. Found a vid(I know) from this season's footage. What strikes me is his workrate high up the pitch, he forces a lot of mistakes in that vid. Looks strong and quick too. A livewire. @Mr Gonads you'll know him and @Typical_Wazza I know you him. What do lads reckon? Anybody else know much about him?
He looks good. I'd be worried about paying money touted for Ayew, personally. This seems like a good alternative
He's a sort of, if you can imagine Adel Taraabt but with discipline and determination, maybe not as much magic in his boots but that might be a good thing. He skips through French defences at will at times but doesn't always make the right decision when finishing. A little like Nani in that respect. I think he'd get you guys off your arses in the stadium for sure. I'm always sceptical about flair players in relegation scraps but he seems to have something about him that I think would do you a lot of good. There's a programme on BT sport called Ligue 1 review and it's just like motd for ligue 1, almost every week they're showing some of his flair or some mad dribble he's been up to.
Word coming from french sources that we've bid 10.5 million euros. Could all be bullshit of course but we're in the final week of the transfer window and the board's a bit quiet on the transfer front.
Mate for January prices that could be a very decent price. Bordeaux won't be doing anything this season. I can't see them standing in his way.
First bid though. Chances are we'd have to up it quite a bit given our first Ayew bid was only 10million
Yeah maybe. They've got a new stadium to pay for mind if I'm not mistaken. Being built for the Euros this summer.
Looks good to me, remember Ayew came from the French league only a few months ago. Keep Borini and sign this lad, job done.
We will sign Ronaldo at 10.59 on Monday night I have good sources ! with Danny graham and Bridcutt going the other way (I HOPE)
Those stats really highlight for me what could have been with Johnno... Every time I've seen him this season he's looked like he really can't be ****ed, but those stats are actually pretty decent. Imagine if the lad just applied himself...
This lad and Debuchy would round off January nicely I reckon. We are crying out for an attacking cm. Can also play wide if we are going for a slightly more defensive 4-3-3
