Mole_Toonfan Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Know absolutely sod all about him but iam interested in finding out and surely he's Guthrie's replacement not Lovenkrands? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Can we get a frenchie on here to give us the low down on him? I know someone described him a while back but i really have no idea what his best attributes are. Or at least Ben Arfa's roadies do some research for us.

Guest je85 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Ligue 2 expert Steve Wyss said the following when asked about the player: “As the younger brother of OM’s Morgan, you can see that football class clearly runs in the family. In many ways, he is similar to his brother in that he’s a superb creative player, although perhaps not quite as versatile. He preferred position is sitting in the AMID hole behind the strikers, although he is also capable of playing a more deep lying playmaker role. He is light on his feet and you can tell he has a high technique and skill level. Not so much of a goalscorer, or even someone who assists that often. His main strength is his excellent pass ability and vision is excellent.” from an article on French Football Weekly, which I won't link as it includes videos of his play. For info on French players we get linked with can't beat FFW. their podcast is not bad either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 For some reason I feel like he'll have the same impact as Darren Ambrose. Which was pretty decent for a squad player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Sounds like he has potential then, something to be worked with. Wonder what he's like physically, he'll probably need to bulk up a touch for this league. It's nice to think we will nuture his talent and see him develop into a very good footballer.

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 If he turns into half the player Arteta is, we will have done well. Indeed, just happy that in style thats the type of player he is i feel we have sorely lacked a proper playmaker for a long time. Eagerly anticipating seeing him in action although i dont expect him to break though straight away. Very happy that the management seem to know what we need and acting upon it.

Guest MrSundlofer Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 As a Ligue 2 player signing for a top team in PRL there is no pressure on him. No one expect him to make a major impact here (wich is good), but I have a feeling he will come good. Welcome to Newcastle Amalfitano! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
