Romain Amilfitano

I'm sure most of you have already heard about the guy, been rumours flying around for ages about him, lots of reports in the french press that he will sign for us within the next few weeks, his older brother is a very talented player, I've seen him play but haven't seen Amilfitano junior play, but hes obviously very highly rated by Carr if we're getting him from French Ligue 2.

Decent piece on him here and few highlights of things hes managed to do.

They reckon hes ideal playing behind the strikers, gives us a fresh attacking option to look forward to if that is the case.

In Carr we trust.

 

In carr I trust

 

I trust Carr but why didn't you try and sign his brother? marseille have money troubles (from what i've heard) so he wouldn't even be that expensive.

 

I trust our scouts to be honest Kyle. If we sign him, then Carr must have seen something he likes. Obviously represents excellent value as a free and won't be commanding the wages his brother will at this stage. He might find it tough to break in too, his brother wouldn't stand for that.
