Whoever he is , Brucie's after him, according to the Mirror http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/hull-city-15m-move-french-2189313
Based on this video, he makes about two runs a game down the wing with very little end product. No way would we spend 1.5M. http://vimeo.com/68685706
To be fair, I got bored after 6 mins of watching him lose the ball, get fouled or cross the ball to no-one but if the video had just been edited to the last 3 minutes, he looks OK.
All he crosses were decent just needed a striker to continue there run. Looked decent to me and will only improve!
I doubt there is much in this one. Not that I mind getting players for the future but I would think Bruce was only looking to sign players that will make an impact now.
Quick, can play on either wing or just behind a main striker, good feet, represented France at every junior level and has a 1 in 4 goal record in Ligue 2. Transfermarkt rate him at £1m but this appears to be rising as he becomes more established, but I doubt we would be looking to over-pay. Looks a realistic shout at that price. Has started the season well with 2 in 3. Still young and should develop too.
No he is definitely more right footed but seems competent with both. Looks a good player to me, great acceleration with some decent skills and shooting ability.
He certainly looks pacy. Quick players can win lots of free kicks in dangerous areas. Defenders hate quick players - looks a decent prospect.
I think he has much a chance of making an immediate impact as Sagbo and Livermore to be fair.... Of course, being 21 means he should develop as well.
Pretty quick and can nutmeg the defenders. Doesn't seem frightened to take on two at a time and beat them and the goals he has scored on that video where excellent. I would certainly sign him up, he would be perfect for the type of play we seem to be going to be playing.
Don't know which video you people are watching but this kid looks exceptional to me. And he's right footed! His ball retention, strength and pace look superb. As for end product, does nobody remember the slating Brady got after his first season?? The kid is 20......he will learn!! If we are going to survive in the Prem long term it will be down to our ability to unearth diamonds that nobody else has noticed so I am more the happy to blow a RELATIVELY small sum on a prospect for the future.
He does look like CS when he fist came to us, that could be because all the teams he's up against is in Ligue 2, so the equivalent to the Championship. I won't be getting too excited by this just yet.
You surely cant go on that logic... thats like saying Zaha isnt good enough for the prem because he played in the championship.. yet fergie signed him, moyes playes him and roy rates him Im just saying that just because a player is in a lower division, doesnt mean they cant step up and do the same or even better at a higher level. Plus if he was doing as well as he is doing in Ligue 1, we'd have no chance of signing him...
He has actually played in the top flight in France, scoring a few goals too. He was also named in Auxerre's Champions League squad in the 2009-10 season. It's like Curtis Davies; he played the last two seasons for Birmingham in the Championship but it doesn't mean he isn't of PL standard.
