Pie in the sky

[Hutch_Tiger]

Apparntly bid 8m for a striker in france, top scorer for his club, big power house forward


Could be pie in the sky could be accurate have to wait n see

 

[TygerTyger]

Does he have a name? Or a club? Do you have a source for this rumour?

 

[hullinasia]

[Hutch_Tiger]

Like i say could be pie in the sky could be wrong, yes its vague but for those who dont like snippets dont get involved simple

 

[ElTigre]

If neither Newcastle nor Arsenal are interested then this French striker can't be that good.

 

[Hutch_Tiger]

Bit of a narrow minded view lol unless both those teams play with 5 each up top

 

[CityRMD]

I think he was joking... Gignac is a good player though. Not the quickest but a clinical finisher.

 

[onceatiger]

Don't we need a quick clever goal poacher a la Long, who actually scores more goals than Long did?

(whoops a bit of the old o level French crept in there.... apologies all, won't happen again)

 

[Hutch_Tiger]

Thats what i thought myself, could do with a nippy poacher i think, unless hes a big powerful type who can shift

 

[southlondontiger]

Possibly Vincent Aboubakar? Scored 16 last season in the French league. 6'1 and quick as they come

 

[renegadetiger]

I had a boubakar once. Traded it in for a better model.

 

[Hutch_Tiger]

Could be a few , information was pretty vague lol

Also a big swedish guy who plays for rennes.

[CityRMD]

Aboubakar would be a good signing. Very, very quick and young as well. Just hope we get a move on so whoever comes in can settle, if it is indeed from overseas then it's going to take longer than someone from the PL.

 

[Amin Arrears]

We've already been linked with Aboubakar at the beginning of the window.

 

[The FRENCH TICKLER]

Does he have a name? Or a club? Do you have a source for this rumour?

Swanny has mentioned his name in todays HDM. Watching Ajax over the weekend that lad Sigurdsson looks handy.Then again so was Altidore in that league.

On saturday Jermain Defoe was a name also mentioned but my Spurs mate says that Spurs have first option if he comes back. Rumour has it that JD wants out of the MLS.

Surely this thread belongs in the City rumour thread ??

Yes. Saw that Shane Long was at it again yesterday. £12.5m well brought into the club coffers Brucie.

Lacazette & Gignac are out of our range i think as bigger clubs are interested. Aboubaker has been linked with us before too but the one id like to see is Ben Yedder..

We've already been linked with Aboubakar at the beginning of the window.

I'd guess it was rubbished because we weren't in for a striker at the time. Might've changed now.
