jamiemaher85 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Seen him mentioned a few places. I really rate him and think he would be a very good signing, but apparently St Etiene want this thing called money in exchange for him, no idea what they are talking about though! I asked Kenwiright and he hadn't heard of it either! Bloody arogant french. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regulator Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Go Miss by name, Go Miss by nature. From what I've seen of him anyway. Only really got a good look at him during the the euros, and he was utter shite. lazy, unconvicing and far from clinical in front of goal. Basically, The Yak when he's off, and I haven't heard anyone rave about Gomis since so I'm guessing nothings changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you where to go by just seeing a player in euro's than Milan Baros would be one of the world greats! but he clearly isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueblood Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 We bought Bakayoko on the back of a video of his "greatest clips" and he turned out to be less than Pele, and I'm always wary of players that come straight from the French league as I, personally, don't think it's strong enough. Plus, if they want a fee, as is widely mentioned unlikely. I noticed earlier that Landon Donovan has gone to Bayern Munich. seeing as their league has finished, and he and Beckham have come over to Europe for a few months is there anything decent in that league we could nab on loan? Or is Brian McBride as good as it gets??!?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also stating that players can't make the jump from French to English Leagues.... Drogba, Essien, just to name two recent ones.. Sure you get players like Bakayoko or Malouda but you can't over generalise that players from the french league won't make the step up. Secondly, as for players we could get from MLS. How about Darren Huckerby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I'm not in favor of Gomis for a loan signing; he would take the entire period just getting adjusted to the physicality of the game.

Guest efctaxi Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 How anyone can dismiss French players is mistifying . Take a look at French players who have had great success in our leagues . Have we forgotten the legendary Eric Cantona , or Didier Drogba ? Here is a list ( out of date but so what ) of French players who have had careers here , and we can add some on top to bring it up to date Arsenal (5) Gilles Grimandi, defender/midfielder; Thierry Henry, forward; Robert Pires, midfielder; Patrick Vieira, midfielder; Sylvain Wiltord, forward Aston Villa (1) David Ginola, midfielder Chelsea (3) Marcel Desailly, defender; William Gallas, defender; Emmanuel Petit, midfielder Fulham (5) Alain Goma, defender; Sylvain Legwinski, midfielder; Steed Malbranque, midfielder; Steve Marlet, forward; Louis Saha, forward Liverpool (3) Pegguy Arphexad, goalkeeper; Bernard Diomede, midfielder; Gregory Vignal, defender Manchester United (3) Fabien Barthez, goalkeeper; Laurent Blanc, defender; Mikael Silvestre, defender Newcastle United (3) Olivier Bernard, defender; Sylvain Distin, defender; Laurent Robert, midfielder Sunderland (1) Lilian Laslandes, forward Tottenham Hotspur (1) Yannick Kamanan, forward West Ham United (3) Laurent Courtois, midfielder; Frédéric Kanouté, forward; Sebastien Schemmel, defender Man City (2) Alioune Toure, forward; Laurent Charvet, defender Birmingham (2) Mickael Sabathier, midfielder; Tresor Luntala, midfielder Ipswich Town (1) Ulrich Le Pen, midfielder Derby County (2) Francois Grenet, defender; Youl Mawene, defender Leeds United (1) Olivier Dacourt, midfielder Burnley (1) Arthur Gnohere, defender Millwall (1) Willy Gueret, goalkeeper Norwich City (1) Marc Libbra, forward Nott'm Forest (2) Matthieu Louis-Jean, defender; Uliano Courville, midfielder Sheffield United (1) Laurent D'Jaffo, forward Walsall (1) Frederick Biancalani, defender Watford (1) Patrick Blondeau, defender Wolves (1) Ludovic Pollet, defender Bournemouth (1) Pascal Tetu, midfielder Cambridge United (1) Lionel Perez, goalkeeper Colchester (1) Thomas Pinault, midfielder QPR (2) Alexandre Bonnot, midfielder Ebeli M'bombo, forward Swindon (1) Eric Sabin, forward Darlington (1) Alexandre Jeannin, defender Exeter City (1) Cherif Diallo, forward Kidderminster Harriers (1) Parfait Medou-Otye, defender Luton Town (1) Jean-Louis Valois, forward Plymouth Argyle (2) David Friio, midfielder; Romain Larrieu, goalkeeper Swansea city (2) David Romo, midfielder; Mamady Sidibe, midfielder Although the above list is well out of date , it highlights players who have had careers here , and some of them have been top of the tree . Add to it French players who are currently playing premiership football , and there is no mistake that French players can make it here , if not , like some have done , become actual stars of the premiership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueblood Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I said I was wary of players coming straight from the French league, I did not dismiss them out of hand. As pointed out, Essien and Drogba have been successful acquisitions. As for the list of every French players that's ever played in the French league how many of them played their best football at their first club over here/ immediately? Also, quite a lot of names on that list I would not say have shone at all over here. From that list; Cantona played his best football at Man U after playing at Leeds (granted he was great there also), most of the other highlighted names came from other leagues, not straight from the French league. Regardless of the fact, we don't have any dollar anyway so it's not going to happen unless on loan. Which I personally would far prefer as that way if he turns out to be more Bakayoko than Drogba they can have him back. As for not buying players based on YouTube clips... it's happened before, maybe if we saved the EasyJet flights to go and see him we could afford to pay him for an extra 5 minutes?!?!?!?

chicagoblue Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Watching the MLS once in a while I'd say there isn't much there. The one decent prospect, Josie Altador, has gone off to spain. There is one player who is very anxious to get out but was blocked last year by his club, Taylor Twellman. Personally I hate him and think he's a twat, but he seems to score, decent in the air. Was injured for a good bit of last season, though on a 6 month loan might not be the worst of the pick, wouldn't be long term at all though as he must be 29 by now. Or we could just go in for Quatemoc Blanco... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol . There are loads of names that aren't in the above list , though Ginola and Saha are . Remember it's not my list . I'm not that clever As for Madar , can't remember him to be honest , though he apparantly only played in 19 games during the 2 years he was here .

On Gomis, I've no idea because I've never heard of him Ive seen him play football enough times to be able to say I dont rate his ability. He had a few decent games coming off the bench a while back but was then piss poor and completely ineffective when he started games. Since then he has gone down hill Moyes wouldnt give him a look in and now Martinez is doing the same, got to be something in that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
