  1. If true, I think he's simply cheated on his missus and she's gone home. If it was homesickness, then he surely could have waited until the summer. If it was illness, then the parties involved would have been much more respectful, especially his Dad.
  2. He can't wait 4 months? What a dickhead if true.
  3. Fingers crossed, I feel quite the same really, hopefully he works better for the team, individually he'll not match what Ba offered, but this was always going to be the case whoever we brought in. My feelings exactly.
  4. This is a great signing, adds a much needed potency to our team, and has a good attitude. We just need him to be Ba in last year's 4-3-3, where I think he's actually a better fit as he'll work harder, will add more pace and will most likely nab a few goals. I think he'll be our most important signing over the coming months, I can see him getting 5 or 6.
  5. Just walked past him and his agent going into YoCabs' house, there must be about 10 people sleeping there tonight Plucked up the courage to say hello and good luck.
  6. Two French title winning captains in the team for the second half of the season gives me a hell of a lot more confidence. Too right. Some more leaders on the pitch, something we've really, really missed over the last 2 months.
  7. Good interview, he seems to have a fantastic winners attitude. More of a character than I anticipated.
  8. Got this nagging feeling he'll be on the bench. Hopefully it's just my defense mechanism kicking in. I wouldn't be surprised I just hope he turns it on in training, making it impossible to not start him.
  9. Going to be an interesting battle between him and Benteke next week.
  10. I can understand why people aren't enthralled with the signing and while there are better overall footballers out there, he's the exact type of forward we need, and I do think many will be surprised. With the likes of Cabaye, HBA and Marveaux in the team, and with Debuchy's crossing, there's plenty of creativity in there but not enough goals. Gouffran is a good predator and will make the most of chances provided.
  11. A large reason as to why we were so bad with everyone fit, was because Pards persisted in trying to fit Ba and Cisse in the middle, using his old 'fast, front-foot' system. There were other factors of course but that was the root problem. We aren't signing a player like Ba, in terms of attributes or attitude, I think we'll see a marked improvement.
  12. I think he'll be here before the Villa game.
  13. We won't buy anyone else for years after this window probably used up our 2016 kitty.
  14. With it looking increasingly likely that we'll have 3 new players in before Villa, does anyone think AP is going to change his negative style/tactics?
  15. Again, that's an absolutely brilliant deal. We just need to get Debuchy whipping them in, he's great at getting on the end of crosses.

    They're so deluded man, they were on an equally bad, if not worse run than us, a few wins later and they're nailed on for a top 10 finish. Laughable.

    I like how they're getting cocky again Still under the illusion that their team is class, unfortunately, with a better manager we'd have been way ahead of them.
  18. Aren't we meant to be meeting him tomorrow? Let's just wait and see what happens, his club obviously want him out.
  19. Looking at that video, he's got something we're lacking, pace, power and the willingness to take the game by the scruff of the neck. Cabaye has that same willingness but not the same sort of physical attributes to put a team on the back foot.
  20. basically what Remy would have done for us except of course Remy is a lot better. He is absolutely nothing like Ba or Cisse. The fact that he's also solid on the ball is also a big plus too. Far more potent and technically sound than Jonas and Shola.
  21. He's not a winger but he can play as an inside forward. That's what we need, he'll come into the box from wide and cause problems with Cisse, as well as looking to make some runs behind defenders.
  22. Better version of Diame, sort of, if i have to name one you've probably seen recently. Good stuff, we need a bit of power at times. Sounds like he could be especially useful away from home.
  23. I would be surprised if he was meant to have been in today, with all the Colo negotiations and whatnot. I don't think it's a coincidence that Haidara is meant to be in tomorrow either.
