    Sounds like a prize winner, I'll be honest. Least he has a decent level of English though. That'll help.

    None of our managers have escaped such treatment in my memory, going back to Ted Bates.

    'You've made my day' comes to mind. At last a physical presence where we need it!

    Guy’s goal scoring record is bloody impressive. Belgian League is ranked 8th in Europe, so above Turkish League, Scottish Prem etc

    The man can definitely finish. Looks like he could be a nightmare for some CB’s this second half of the season.

    Highlights reels can make a player look however you want him to look!

    As long as he can score I don't care!

    Based on the few YouTube videos I've seen I'm not sure he's the best technically or if hold up play will be his strong point, but he seems to have scored goals consistently for a few years so I'm hopeful that continues.

    Suspect he'll look in equal parts an absolute handful and utterly inept. Looking forward to it! Please score lots of goals and try and find Lisandro Martinez at corners.

    Yeah he looks an absolute donkey not going to lie. Hopefully the PL isn’t too technical for him and he can prove a handful with his physique alone

    Stating the obvious, he should be worth a few headed goals, although I can already picture centre backs having “a fit of the vapours” and collapsing very weakly as he leans over them to get to the ball, conning the ref into calling a foul that won’t be considered an error by VAR.
    Interesting that he takes penalties as JWP has never convinced me in that role.

    The PL is probably one of the most physical, least technical in Europe.

    I read this as "Guly's goal scoring record", and thought I was in a time warp (again)

    Guys If you haven't already watched it yet, Dez was chatting to Mike and Jack on their youtube channel saintsvlog about Onuachu and Sulemana. Really good I though, I'm proper excited now by what he can bring too our team, and part of me is glad we got him over Vitinha. His height and physicality is going to bully CBs.

    Another interesting thing to note was he said Sulemana will dominate the right hand side, So I reckon he isn't brought in as a LW.
