AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I would like to see us sign a couple of players who aren't French. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Anyone know owt about Philipp Hosiner, banging them in this season in Austria, is young and probably not too expensive due to league? Albeit he falls at the not French/francophone hurdle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 If there's any mileage in this "left winger as a matter of urgency" thing I would assume Yohan Mollo and Dimitri Payet are on our radar - but both ASSE and Lille are in the hunt for CL as it stands. Would gladly have either, although I could see us favouring Mollo purely for his age. Both are set piece takers, both have a turn of pace and a trick, both have impressive track records of assists/goals, both right-footers who enjoy cutting in...

LRD Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yohan Mollo is on loan from AS Nancy without a buy-out option. Seems his parent club can't afford his wages. http://www.ligue1.com/ligue1/article/mollo-loaned-to-les-verts.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Aye, but do you not reckon if St. Etienne make the CL that they'll still be in for him with the money generated? He's been outstanding for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lille paid €8m for him and he's only got better. Feel sorry for Ligue Un clubs like. Losing a lot of players to nobodies like us and PSG have bought it for the forseeable future whilst creating little or no trickle down effect. By the same token it'd be nice if we bought some non-Francophone players too go along with this.

Would allow Gouff to be deployed centrally sometimes as well, and provide cover when HBA is injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Fwiw Belhanda and PEA could be considered as options on the left too. Although the latter is more effective as a striker and his impressive form means we ain't getting any closer to a deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Why haven't we looked into La Liga for the archetypical small skilful Spanish winger/ inside forward. Swansea's transfers have shown that it's a bargain hunting ground if we look carefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm desperate for a bit more craft and guile in our team, personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollo would appear to be more our stamp, but we may also have eyes on the Netherlands for more players of a similar style/quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 A couple of good quality signings and we have an absolutely excellent team on paper. I would be forced to look forward to next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Very true x2, it's all tempered by the way we play though. Playing how we play currently is putting a big onus on any attacking players coming in whether they're playing in their natural positions or not. I've seen next to nowt of any of them properly like but I like what I've YT/read on-field about PEA. I agree though, we're badly in need of taking the burden of our two injury prone creatives with more options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAK Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Ryad Boudebouz, been linked to him in the past. Has pace, a bit of trickery, and a good shot on him. Not sure how he's performing this season though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Still puzzled you aren't looking at La Liga given the financial condition of a lot of clubs over here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
