Before I got banned from the USA BigSoccer boards (for sticking up for my beloved Tigers after they were putting cr@p on us - and also for telling them a few home truths about Altidore as they were 'bigging' him up) someone berated me and stated that Altidore (wait for it) was going to be the next 'Black' Heskey. Gawd knows what colour he thought Emile was! Calling someone 'Black' is not racist it is when you accompany the word with a derogatory one (such as b*****d or c**t) that it becomes racist.

America and their knowledge of 'soccerball'!


Why am I not surprised whatsoever?
 
Bloody well hope this comes off can be a cracking player on his day!

Would be like our Geo for this premier league campaign.
 
Hi,

As a Lyon fan, let me give you some insight on Briand, who is a good and exemplary player by many aspects.

Strong points:
- Never gives up! Very generous player, runs all the time, I think he definitely has a playing style for PL.
- Defends well. He more than often goes down the pitch to help fellow defenders.
- Great conduct on and off the pitch. Always involved in the club's objectives, never complains about anything, even if he spends a few games on the bench - Not a good client for tabloids.
- Can play as a striker or right winger.
- Good header skills. Here is an example in a top French league game: http://youtu.be/KHhz6Z3WYL8?t=2m5s
- Can score spectacular goals. Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zvsQ_Jak10
- No known sex scandal so far lol

Weak points:
- Ball control skills should be improved
- Never asks for a free kick when being fouled, maybe sometimes he should be more "vindictive" with the refs
- Head shape lol

Hope that helps.
;)
 
this has got my socks twitching a bit. he would appear to be similar to Aluko but the more talented, skilful and tricky forward players we have the better. Graham will score 20+ with just tap-ins.
 
brilliant signing if we pull it off.

Positive news is his manager has told him to find
another club. he's currently preseason training with Lyon in
New York.

west brim were interested in June but I we are the only
ones in the running I can see this happening.


he's a pacey and strong forward. him and Aluko would
be insane. with graham up front to convert.
 
Why can't I post here??

erm............

Yes, thanks for explaining this.

Why is that? To stop people making a load of handles and spamming links/viruses?
 
I've heard he's a bit inconsistent this Jimmy Briand.

Can have a fantastic first 45 mins then goes off the radar for the second half.

His manager needs to tell him "It's a game of two halves, Briand................"
