Desperation signing. Doesn't fall in line with recent reports that Pardew is looking local for a striker?

 

Yeah, 'reports' have been spot on so far

But France is local for us nowadays!

I can see this one dragging on tbh.

 

The ACN thing is a concern but hopefully we will have Ben Arfa back so Best, Ben Arfa, Obertan and Ameobi could do a job for the month.

 

His stats are very similar to Gervinho iirc.

Pardew is. He's not making the final call though.

 

I don't think he is though, just more press bollocks.

 

He was asked at the weekend whether it was important for the striker to have Prem experience, and he said quite catagorically that it didn't and that if we can get a good enough target from overseas, they'lll be fine. Not a hint of  a suggestion he was turning his atention to Prem based players.

It's another strange one. Quite a lot of money for us to be offering for a relatively unknown player on these shores, but then it was similar for Erdinc, yet they wouldn't sell. The reasoning is it would probably cost three times as much for an equivalent player in the premier league.

Would be pleased with Maïga, he's the kind of player we're going to need this season.

 

Can play effectively on the left of a front three, alongside another striker, or by himself in a 4-5-1. He's fast, tough and a good finisher. My only concern would be his tendency to go missing in matches, he's quite hit and miss...

He is bloody shitehouse. Inflated goal ratio because he gets very good service from the midfield.

 

*Very one footed (Left)

*Strong Physically

*Good speed and acceleration

*Clumsy finisher (unable to shoot off balance/make shots under pressure)

*Mediocre first touch

*Limited range of passing

*Link up potential minimal

*Decent ability to get in goalscoring positions

*Can win headers but not particularly a great header of the ball

*Has some ability to dribble past players

 

Just my opinion though...
