From the Daily Mail so probably as accurate as Mike Ashley's tax return but does anybody know who this Frank Tabanou is? And is he worth a punt? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...-Franck-Tabanou-Arsenal-eye-Jose-Enrique.html Newcastle are stepping up interest in Toulouse's Franck Tabanou after Arsenal joined the chase for left back Jose Enrique. Alan Pardew sees Tabanou, 22, as an ideal replacement and has already opened talks over a bid for the France U21 winger who has excelled at left back after filling in there this season. Prospect: Newcastle are keeping tabs on Franck Tabanou He has also been watched by Liverpool, but their preference is Enrique. However, Arsenal are concerned that Gael Clichy will not sign a new contract and have added Enrique, 25, to a list that includes Everton's Leighton Baines and Celtic's Emilio Izaguirre.
Cheers but I just had lunch. Plays LB for Toulouse and is deemed a rising young French prospect. Surprised Wenger hasn't seen him...
Llambias: Ah. Damian. Come in and have a seat. Comolli: Thank you Derek. I do so love our weekly chats. Llambias: Me too. I'll be back in a minute so help yourself to a tea, water or our transfer targets.
Tabanou sounds like the sort of name marketing would come up with for a Pineapple flavoured brandy or something like that. Guava maybe!
Haha that made me chuckle! Tabanou & Lemonade please barman, and make it snappy! That's a crocodile joke, haha... (anyone get the Catterick reference?)
*Suave voice over* Tabanou: The essence of paradise... *cheeky chappy voice over* (now in new blackcurrant flavour)
Sounds a good prospect, if he is replacing Enrique he needs to be able to get forward as well as Jose so being a former winger implies he could do it, might work well with Jonas.
Scene: sexy scantily clad maiden on tropical beach "Would sir like a Tabanou on the rocks?" Sir: "Yes, yes in a minute you dirty minx, but i'll have one of those pineapple drinks first!"
fingers crossed we made a lasting impression on him and when he decides enough is enough down there we can claim a perfect replacement for jose
