I dont think we are in the position where we can afford to gamble on prospects, we need guaranteed goals.

We probably can’t afford that.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Absolutely no evidence of any of that - he’s got no pedigree and a poor goal scoring record

His record was very good last year?

His record was very good last year?

no, not really. 8 in 36. I would actually call it poor.

 

[TheBigIguana]

no, not really.

I think you might be one of those that doesn't know how division works

8 in 36? If you count international appearances, it gets worse.

Notable that this thread is full of discussion of anything other than the quality/strengths of this player

Looking at his background and stats, I can see why.

He looks absolutely rapid and skillful. I think it's fine if we bring in a target man too

But he plays in wide areas too that's better than any winger we have

if he wasnt playing as an out and out striker, maybe. but he does. if you play him out wide, which I wasnt aware we were planning to, then maybe fair enough.

 

[matty1878]

so it’s deffo him and he’s signing

or looking at the start of bmd

Minutes mate. Divide by the minutes. 5 subs now, guys appearance totals aren't telling the story anymore.

tell me how many minutes hes played then.

 

[TheBigIguana]

tell me how many minutes hes played then.

975 in the French league last year. 7 goals, 1 assist.

 

[lungo]

In his first Ligue 1 season He's played left, right, and central. He's had 30 appearances and scored 7 as an all round attacking player.

Exactly the profile we should be targeting.

Very difficult to score in Ligue1. Tide defenses and no open play like in the premier league. He is head and shoulders above Gordon.

well if he plays somewhere other than lone striker I could get on board with it. I think its too much to ask of him at this stage to be the primary outlet.

my worry too. but i rather have a bit of mobile striker like him than forcing a Broja type to play on the left
