TBG Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 "Gabriel Obertan Ready For 2011/2012" - could be an interesting search to put into a well-known video site for those prone to excitement like myself. "welcome 2 the toon!11! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I think he'll surprise a few people with his skills and his pace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 A guy called BOOKPRODUCTIONS7 on a certain popular video-sharing site has a ton of Obertan videos for anyone who's interested. Have to say, I feel a lot more confident about this signing after watching a few vids. His performance against the England U21s was particularly decent, even got himself a goal.

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 He's a good replacement for Routledge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Andy Brassell rates him, usually knows his stuff with regards to French players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Well i think this lads is ok, the fact he looks like Michael Berryman is by the by, he has pace and skill, he needs consistancy, hopefully that'll come with more playing time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 We could certainly do a lot worse. While it's not exactly a blockbuster singing, let's give the guy a chance. He should have a bit of a point to prove which should see him giving his best for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Those videos show all the step overs and clever tricks then cut to the next trick. The "end product" debate continues... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 We look to have some pace now, looks direct, full of running, couple of good finishes. He's one of those not quite good enough for manu standards, but should thrive here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Better to sign these sorts if we're looking at the bigger clubs than the likes of Duff, Butt and Smith anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Good luck to the fella Was probably a bit harsh on him yesterday, but he's only young and if he's as quick as people say then it could be a much welcomed addition. Hope he and Vuckic's emergence is not an excuse to not buy another striker though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Logic Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Just spent the last hour watching vids. Serious upgrade on Routledge and offers more as a RW than - though as a RM probably not. Has a tendency to run out of ideas but that may be a confidence issue and which footballer doesn't fuck up from time to time. I've watched Messi a few times and wondered what the hell everyone else saw in him. On his day of course he's unplayable. Obertan is a great addition to the squad and should fit in and adapt well with all the other French players here. I'd put him on the team sheet ahead of Lovenkrands or Routledge, (realise he's gone), without a moments indecision. edit: to qualify that was Loven as a fwd, not a RW. Obertan is clearly versatile. Another plus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Signing simpson did no harm Reading redcafe, seems they admit he's not going to be up to their standards, but will probably do well here. Pace is his main attribute, but has mental weakness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Most of them wanted him loaned out from what im reading. Some arent happy as hed been improving recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Mentally weak sounds worrying. Our crowd can be quite fickle and volatile at times. Can see this being an issue if he starts poor... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Logic Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Don't expect him to make a home debut. He'll start away as long as there's no extreme circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Reckon he will come off the bench actually. Could be an excellent impact player if nothing else. Pace can hurt teams late on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
