Greg Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 The interpreter on his nufcTV interview! I have not seen it. Did they get Olivier Bernard to act as inetrpreter again? OB looked suave as f*ck last time. It certainly isn't Olivier Bernard, sounds like a computer but it isn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Early days and all so I'm not writing him off before anyone starts, but he looks a bit lightweight to me. People are saying he's more of a central midfielder, but I think he would need to seriously bulk up to make it in the Premiership in a central midfield position. Hope this little gamble pays off spectacularly of course, but from what I've seen so far he's not at Guthrie's level of a dependable squad player yet.

Hope this little gamble pays off spectacularly of course, but from what I've seen so far he's not at Guthrie's level of a dependable squad player yet. Looks quick and slight, perfect to play out wide which he has in the last two games and did so for the most part of last season at Reims. I think Marveaux will be used a Guthries step in at CM and Amalfitano used mainly out wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The French youngster was removed from the starting XI against Fenerbahce after picking up an injury in the warm-up. But despite fears that United had been struck a pre-season injury blow, Alan Pardew was relaxed about his condition after the Germany and Austria tour. He told the Chronicle: “Romain just hurt his groin – nothing major. “It was precautionary. We didn’t want to risk him. It was no big deal.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Mags Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Thought he equipped himself well tonight, caught dilly-dallying a few times but besides that showed some nice touches, seems to have good vision for a pass and linked things up well I thought. Cabaye MKII anyone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Got the potential to be much better than Cabaye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 First time I've been impressed with him pre-season. He looks really comfortable on the ball, has a habit of drifting out of the game though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Boys got skills, like him. Will definitely need time to adjust and maybe bulk up a bit but I think, as mentioned, he might be better behind the striker or on the wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will definitely need time to adjust and maybe bulk up a bit but I think, as mentioned, he might be better behind the striker or on the wing. In my opinion hes definitely a wide player, in a 4-3-3 on the right or left he will be excellent for us in the Europa League. Amal - Ba - HBA In the Europa League will be some stuff. Expect to see Ba play central in the Europa League and Cisse start every PL game centrally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Yeah, very similar to Cabaye. Got the touch and footballing brain, but not sure about athleticism. Overall, I think he'd be a decent back-up for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Maul Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I can't really see him as a wide player like, maybe that's just me though. Think he'll be a lot more influential in the middle with some experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Got a great touch and vision, good range of passing but is going to have to quicken up on his decision making, got caught in possession a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I don't think he's a wide player, still think he looks slightly nervous in the side and trying too hard but has shown some nice touches and has a good passing range. Looking forward to see him progress in the squad. Him and Bigi have both been having a decent pre-season to date, very happy with what i've seen from both of them, nice prospects.

Think you've confused him with Marveaux, there. Amalfitano looks like a different type of player. (Closer to Cabaye.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
