He was once regarded as the best player for his age in French. He has everything you would want in a winger/AM, very direct and pacey. He has all the raw attributes you would look for in a forward.

This is a signing I am so excited about, with us having a few french lads it'll help him settle in

Thanks mate. Knew you would have a good idea on him.

Reading his pedigree it seems like he is the signing out of all them where I am thinking how have they pulled that off, up until now the players we have got in young lads that needed a chance like Clarke, Roberts, Cirkin but this lad was involved at a very good level but has been persuaded and excited by what the club are doing with a young team!

I've never heard of him but going off what you and others say and his achievements to date we've clearly pulled something off here.

Really exciting times for the present and the future. Seems like Dreyfus and co have it all figured out and they've only been here 5 minutes.
 
Do you not think staying down for 1 more season and get a deeper strength throughout the squad.
I'm not saying we should stay here, just interested in other fans view.
Yeh I agree in principle that another year would give us a stronger base I also see what lads are saying about the money if we go up but what I fear is the not so sensible brigade who would be booing and screaming and shouting at a young team if things wernt going to plan

Reactions: Robertson
Great ? Question, no I just think Dan has a great attitude, he just gives it away to much for me, and he ain't as tough as he needs to be in midfield.
Saying that, if the new lads can do the hard stuff it will help Dan out a lot.
I wished Dan all the best after the Boro game and he eas buzzing.
Behave, Neil used to be weak in midfield but think he is now in the top 10 for tackles in the league. He averages an 85% pass success rate which is great considering a lot of his passes are forward passes. He also wins 55% of his defensive duels which is high for a CM
 
I’m hyper about this signing, BUT if he’s as good as you all are saying, why is he signing for us, and not a bigger club with CL aspirations.

I’m assuming he’s lost his way?

No worries mate. I'll admit I havent seen him loads but as soon as we were linked with him I watched some of his games & highlights and he's impressive. Another cteative player that we can build around

I'm in the same boat ad you mate know nowt about him, with me apply the same to most players these days unless they play for us I'm unlikely to see them. But reading the level he has been playing at recently is exciting and probably the one player I have looked at and thought ****ing hell this model is going to be exciting. As I said before the other young lads until now needed a chance to kick-start their careers doesn't seem like he does!

He fell out with the manager at Lille in the summer as he was refusing to sign a contract. Think quite a few clubs were after him but says something about the club that we can attract him. He played champions league football last season so wouldnt say he lost his way as such

IMHO, I think his side and backward passes outlay the forward, please remember it's just my opinion.

I know its an opinion mate and I didnt mean to have a go. I'm just pointing out the stats, I agree at the start of the season he looked a little lost at times and disappeared at times however, he has been different class since the world cup break. I have watched him closely and his 1st thought is to play forward, as a former coach thats actually one of the hardest things to teach a player - most just want to play safe. The boy is going to the top and hopefully with us
