Hahaha the commando elite of the EFC medical department are there to see how fit he really is.

 

[SouthWestToffee73]

Can we have a pool of how quickly he picks up a hamstring injury?

he'll go and break his leg falling through the transfer window

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Work permit already in place?

No chance mate - Bill thought he was from Burnley.

 

[bluestevon]

He's a Liverpool fan mate and a 'journalist' and pundit

 

[penev10]

Not again...........

 

[neil999]

bet bill pops into the medical and hits him with a hammer...

 

[maccavennie]

What page is the youtube video on so I can run the rule over him and txt Bobby to either give my blessing or send Bobby to his room for spending our money on crap.

Pronunciation... Nee-ass or Nee-ass-ee or something completely different?

Assuming Senegalese names are pronounced like they would be in French, the former.

Like most people, I'd never heard of this dude until the weekend

His YouTube highlights worry me a bit - his technique looks really ragged and a lot of the goals he scores are when he gets a favourable bounce of the ball etc

He's effective (or those highlights on YouTube wouldn't be there), quick and seems quite strong, but there's something about those highlights that makes me nervous.

I suppose he can't be worse than Kone, so maybe I'm worrying about nothing.

Leaving that medical late - our medicals normally take 3 days and two ice ages to complete.

Lukaku will love him

If he signs mate it will be to compliment Rom from a wide left position like Kone has been used for. Can pop up in the area and can finish, but has pace and strength to hold the ball up and take away a marker from Lukaku, who regularly has both centre halves marking him when he plays up top on his own.

Some of those finishes were quality. Look a handful and a real threat.

Was sarcasm mate, on a serious note, buying a player who is great at pressing would make sense if the team actually pressed wouldn't it, thats typically how its done in football unless I'm wrong, or is their a new method that requires one player pressing like a mad man whilst the other 10 sit off like we currently do?

Well, 'mate', it wasn't sarcasm unless you believe the opposite of what you said but I'm not here to score points over your use of language so I'll leave you to that.
But you're right it doesn't take one person pressing to guarantee an entire team presses, but it won't do any harm having a player who does it effectively at the spearhead of the attack. But as there's never been players thinking for themselves on the pitch before it's obviously a long shot.

That last line was sarcasm.
