Confirmed Signing Niels Nkounkou

[AmericasToffee]

The Yakubu reference might have gone over your head?


Why is the video titled 2000?

Birth year imo

Birth year imo

Probably right!

How on earth did the Niels Nkounkou thread become a classic @davek Martinez genius thread? Fair dues, Dave, you really can jam that into any conversation.

I’d imagine Silva went to Brands and said I want Richarlison and Brands said yes, he’s boss, let’s get him.

We’ve heard from both Silva, Ancelotti and Brands himself that unless both him and manager agree on a player it’s not happening.

It's true that Richarlison could be viewed as a player that fit into Brands' remit to bring into the club the type of player that fits in with the way he's been told the club wish to play. Then it becomes a matter of determining whether we believe Brands or the coach would have been the likelier champion of a player. Clearly with Richarlison it's hard to make a case for it not being Silva who petitioned for his purchase. Digne I'd have no problem placing in the Brands column, as he fitted the typology Brands stated he'd be pursuing - young, surplus to his current club due to competition for places etc. and I never thought Silva was the driver for his signature.

Nope. Go back and read the thread - it was @Paul Rideout who introduced that name into this current debate.

 

[malfosse]

Is anybody but @davek really that bothered who is responsible for buying a player? The tea lady could do it and my only hope is that they enhance the team.
On second thoughts I suppose @davek does need a hobby.

So anyway this kid looks good..

Typical of a certain person highjacking yet another thread with their agenda.

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

OK, I’ve only seen this kid in 2 friendlies, but I would not be surprised to see him get a few run outs at left wing with Digne behind him.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I have a feeling he will actually see a fair bit of time. Looks like he can cover several positions on the left.

 

[hktoffee]

What number he is getting? Maybe #33?

 

[Zatara]

Surely getting number 18 puts him as backup left back?

Can he play right-back?

 

[TheSecondComing]

He’s defo impressed Carlo.
