EFC-Paul Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'd have him for that kind of money, for a lad of his quality and experience its not extortionate in today's market Very underrated imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 a diva who goes through extreme goal/dry spells at 21.4m, no thanks. fox in the box he doesn't seem like a koeman striker. I agree. He's a goal poacher and if he doesn't get the chances laid on for him or doesn't convert when he does = all too common dry spells. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Jim White on talk sport today reckons we are one of the teams in for Fonte. Even though the main reason we struggle at the back is because we have an ageing slow defence that can't push up high. Would be furious if we signed another old slow defender. Not slating him he's a quality player, just not the player for us. And just whilst I'm on the topic Jim White is a wanker. At least be a wanker and be liked, such as Durham!

Shy_Talk Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Ishak Belfodil linked apparently, now, call me nuts (please) but if this chap only signed a seasons deal in August with Liege why would we be considering a £9million bid? Surely we could just do a pre contract agreement, he'd suddenly aggrivate a back injury and we'd settle a small compo claim with Liege to release him early. Besides the glaring issue with a 24 year old only being offered a seasons worth of initial contract, and the history of clubs he's already been at, that his wiki page says 6'3.5'' tall suggests about 6'1'' so not the stature i'm expecting of our target man. Gomez, Ronald, the german striker, only 31 and available mate, superior record of scoring too (heavens knows the assists) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Has anyone seen this guy play... his stats don't make great reading. This year 6 goals 4 assists in 16 apps (Belgian league) 3 goals in 5 Europa apps Last year 11 Goals 5 Assists in 23 apps in UAE league Year before that 1 goal 3 assists in 23 apps in Serie A for Parma Year Prior 1 assist in 25 apps for Inter in Serie A Year Prior 8 goals 5 assists in 35 apps for Parma in Serie A Bailey he was a young lad did well for Parma got the big move to Inter where he was used for mostly sub appearances and didn't light it up. Then went back to Parma with no confidence and didn't have a great year. Seems the move to play in UAE got his confidence back and now he's firing again in Belgium. He's only 24, breakout year he was 20 and Inter year was 21, I'm not surprised at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I have seen what appear to be slightly different stats (none of the stats I have seen are from great sources mind) Parma 57 games / 9 goals / 8 assists Baniyas 23 games / 11 goals / 5 assists Liege 21 games / 9 goals / 4 assist Livorno 17 games no goals assists Lyon 13 games no goals assists Inter 10 games / 1 goal / 1 assist Bologna 8 games no goals assists Algeria 14 games / 2 goals Though out his club career he has scored every 291 mins and assisted every 484 mins. He has also been booked every 484 mins too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 played for a lot of teams for a 24 year old hasn't he, makes you wonder... When players go to Italy they get passed about a lot. He actually left Parma when they went bankrupt and waived his compensation. He's obviously been rebuilding his career since in UAE then at Liege. It seems we could be his route back to 'the top'. Koeman likes a target man (Pelle) and this is a Steve Walsh target so it could turn out to be a great bit of business. I've seen a couple of links saying this is more 4m than 10m.

Bailey Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 read the actual thread on the guy, it's 4m. Neither of us know whether that is true or not. You never really know the true figure anyway in a transfer deal but I would still be more inclined to believe the clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbanyNYToffee Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Ben Foster was immense on Saturday. Could have been 8 or 9 without a few miraculous saves. Could he be the answer at GK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Never rated Foster he's far to prone to a clanger, his form is up and down more than Katie Price's knickers Robles should see the rest of the season out if he carries on the good form, for me his performances have been good he looks assured and confident he just needs a solid run of games imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
