Makes sense in that buying from France can get us better value than the UK. Not overpaying / getting value for money seems to be our second highest priority after developing youth.

Experienced and has a decent chance to bed in straight away, with the French connections at the club.

I'll give the rumour 7.5/10 but reserve the right to change it to 8.5/10 with a good highlights video!

I don't think a striker at the price point we want exists, without a sale, so "sacrificing" the "model" to spend more than we normally would on a 30 year old, actually makes sense. Its either £2m on a 30 year old with a great goal scoring record, or £8-10m on the same player who's 23/24.

Occasionally the model needs to flex to short term gain, and I'm hoping for a striker this is exactly what we will do.

His goals alone are worth a punt at 2m. I'm curious and a touch excited. But entirely ignorant as always.

Caen have been on the cusp of promotion for the last 3 seasons and this fella has scored 60 goals during that time, he still has 2 years left on his deal, again unless there is some other element we're not aware of, no chance they let him go for £2m.

Transfermarkt has him valued at €4m and they usually undervalue players. Ballard is valued at €4m for the record.

There's no chance he goes for anything more than 3m he also wants to leave
 
30 years old, a ligue one journey man, banging them in in ligue 2, probably on a four-figure wage, I'd say it's an uphill battle for us in a straight race with Saudi, but you never know.

his movement looks good here, seems to drop deep a lot and goes wide to the channels etc

You're very enthusiastic about this fella.

If the deal was: £6m fee and £25,000 pw wage (our new highest earner), 3 year contract.

Would you sign off on the deal? Just curious.

no, but I don't believe the fee will be anywhere near that
