    Maiga is a player from an average championship-standard French football club. He had a wonder season last season scoring 15 goals, It was one season. He has kicked and screamed in order to get a transfer.

    Seriously guys I'm not sure about this player at the quoted 7million fee I'm hearing of. I'm even struggling to find footage on YouTube! he's unknown.

    Whoever wants this deal to go through, please explain why? Because I'm failing to comprehend any positives whatsoever..

    I'd prefer Maiga over the strikers we have now!

    I don't know much about him and i don't think many people on here do, that's what worries me. I would prefer Cisse ( i watch the Bundesliga and he's good ) or Roux ( People seem to rate him highly ).

    You have to gamble sometimes and he's big, fast and strong which are important in the premiership.

    I trust G Carr

    In Carr we Trust.

    Seriously, though, he turns pretty good on FM and is better than Lovenkrands <there are my two reasons

    Oh will people shut up about how he's "mediocre".

    He had one wonder season, yes. At least he's scored goals!
    Currently, we have Ameobi (dire), Lovenkrands (dire), Ba (not up to his best yet), Best (our best striker but still not amazing) and Sameobi (who's too young to be a regular).

    He cannot possibly be any worse than the first two. We need striking options, he is a striking option. Also the french league is underrated in terms of the quality in there at times, look at £4m for Cabaye!

    Not many of us had heard of Cabaye before the move.

    You gotta have some faith in Pards in the transfer window. He knows what he's doing. Anyone remember Tevez and Mascherano to West Ham? West Ham made some good signings under him.

    Would prefer Cisse or Roux but he's definitely better than Shola, Lover, Ranger and possibly Best.

    He scored 15 in a poor Sochaux side, he can't be that bad.

    just been tweeted on twitter

    Rennes striker Abdoul Camara has not long ago signed for Sochaux. Looks like Maiga will be ours.
