New signing iminent

We are about to sign Habib Habibou‏, a 25 yo 6 foot 4 African powerhouse that both ourselves and QPR have been chasing. It looks as QPR have now lost interest as they have signed Remy.

On his wiki page, it states :-

Mouhamadou Habib Habibou (born April 16, 1987 in Bria, Central African Republic[SUP][2][/SUP]) is a Central African born football player who currently is under contract with SV Zulte Waregem.
He has been in discussions to become a Leeds United player during the 2013 January transfer window, and it would seem Shaun Harvey has been working ever so hard. Whites fans see him as the next Tresor Kandol as he has a similar type of flair.
During a Zulte-Waregem game against Lokeren Habibou grabbed and threw a duck over advertising hoardings because it had wandered onto the field.[SUP][3].


I'm not sure what to think. Whites fans see him as the next Kandol. We didn't want the first one, let alone a new one.

After Tuesdays win over Birmingham, Habibou tweeted -

Dioufy score today good job bro

Yes, we need a big target man, but not if that means we lose McCormack or Becchio, thoughts?

If they mean the next Yeboah, then yes please. If, however, they mean the next Kandol, then I think we'll hang on to what we've got.

If he really is a 6ft 4 powerhouse then we'll see plenty of hoofball. But at least Becchio & co could expect him to win plenty of headers. So not too bad.

 

Unfortunately, I think the evidence points more to a new kandol. Having seen the clip, not sure his approach to duck removal will endear him to our nation of animal lovers

Maybe he was annoyed as their weren't any pancackes or hoi sin sauce?

 

Ahhhh, poor duck. Thats not nice

 

Don't like him already

 

To be fair most of our players would have hoofed it into row z

 

They wouldn't have been quick enough to catch it

 

Only if they were trying to score with it!

 

I'm actually quite impressed at how easily he caught the duck

 

Does at his mean we won't be signing Morrison on 20k a week. I'm gobsmacked

 

You know had bad life is as a Leeds fan, when you're getting excited that a potential signing can catch a duck. Particularly when it was literally a sitting one. Sad thing is, that most of our strikers regularly miss sitting ducks, so I can see your point.

 

They're talking 1.5 - 2.0 euros, so he can't be bad

 

Price of a glass of Guinness, sounds bout right

 

@WhiteStarWhites: @HabibHabibou7 Où vous avez entendu à Elland Road hier en regardant le match? Toute la vérité? #MoT #lufc
Asked was he at Elland road yesterday

 

He's another striker we're in for Aruna Didane

 

That steward's liking what he sees.

 

Hopefully he could be similar to the likes of Lukaku and Benteke. Looks like an absolute monster. I don't think defenders would like the prospect of playing against him.

 

Has he got pace? If not he can **** off
