Transfer Rumour Ishak Belfodil

[Elong]

There is a place for Barks in our new Dafodil mecca.

Stek
Holgate - Williams - Mori
Coleman -- Gana - Morgs -- Baines
Barks
Dafodil - Rom​

You FIFA plum.

Sitting on the fence is a GOT past time. I dunno why more people don't adopt this stance. Seriously, never heard of him, if he signs for us, right behind him.

I've just changed my kids name to Belfodil mate, no sitting on the fence in my Kingdom!

Any upgrade on Valencia is a positive. We're not likely to sign ourselves a Sanchez in the winter.

Correct. I've maintedend a stance that this window was always going to be tough. I'm made up with the £27-35m we've spent so far. Some support, admittedly unknown, for Lukaku will be good also.

You FIFA plum.

Sorry but I see football on different levels than most people, my knowledge is often considered arrogance.

 

[hktoffee]

A player that will play between the lines, run the channels, do the leg work for Rom, win some headers, provide an aerial presence.

Looks like Belfodil is quite good in the air.

You're talking about cake layers and levels not football you whale.

Belfodi will be a decent upgrade.

We are crying out for goals from the midfield. This guy doesn't bring this or up top.

That's the thing for me mate, we are poor in the final third, and I know there is still plenty of time in the window, but we need to address that before the window closes, unless the club are happy to go with what we've got till the Summer.

He's scored ten and created five in twenty one games this season. It's possible he may be a late developer. There's no point in calling him crap or good, when you/I never knew he existed on Monday.

He's only a year older than Kante was when he signed for Leicester, from the French second tier, again a player that you or I had never heard of.

Writing him off now is pointless. As is being overly excited.

Absolutely spot on.

Also more importantly, must be a good chance that he'll be better than Kone and Niasse!

 

[Bullet]

Are we not the leagues top spenders in this window? That's evidence enough for me.

The only decisive evidence that we have a massive budget, if that's interpreted as the oft quoted £100m level, is actually spending somewhere in that region net.

 

[Goat]

We simply never replaced Naismith, said it before and I will say it again.

 

[rochdaleblue]

I agree, but I find it laughable how some are shouting down other fans for voicing concern at us spending a decent sum of money on a bloke who's record to date is very very poor.

We all want the best for the club but for me after God knows how many years of having no credible option from the bench when Rom isnt doing it, for us to target yet another forward with a poor record (Naismith, Kone, Niasse, Valencia) is frustrating considering we now have the funds to bring in a little bit of quality.

For a similar sum or even less, I'd prefer berahino. Young, pacey and proven in the premiership (albeit 2 seasons ago).

I could really see us going three in the back. It eliminates the problem of having under-performing wingers in the lineup.

 

[roydo]

Is it just me that when I see his name, I want to say Befuddle?

The only decisive evidence that we have a massive budget, if that's interpreted as the oft quoted £100m level, is actually spending somewhere in that region net.

So far we're over a third of the way through that. There's still 2+weeks to go.

 

[Markydys]

Walsh and Koeman have been brought in to take our club forward. I trust them with every incoming and outgoing. One or two may backfire like it does with every club but they've brought in Gana, Schneiderlin, Lookman and Williams who I think will be successes.

I have no idea about this guy but trust that Walsh will have done his homework. He's not let us down so far.
