Tiresias Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Individually it makes sense, Gouffran is not far off his peak years, probably the least expected of him so I guess they don't want him on books too long if a flop. Haiidan they may have wanted longer as he's a prospect but he probably wasn't willing to sign any longer, whereas Sissoko seemed to be, he's still very young and will be very expensive to buy even after 3 seasons with us.

PENKAAA Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Not going to bed until i've watched the nufcTV feature on him. Apparently it's meant to be online any minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 he should be the best player we have signed this january so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 If he is as good as people are saying then he sounds like someone we exactly need. Someone who can get the ball and pick a pass, we have needed a box to box midfielder for a long time. I wouldn't say his passing is a strong point tbh, its good but its not outstanding what he's really good at is picking the ball up and going on Yaya-like runs bulldozing through the opposition and because of his pace and power he's just a monster defensively and offensively. We haven't had anything like him in as long as i can remember and we should be able to turn defense into attack a lot quicker with him in the team. To be frank the games where I have seen him play he's looked pretty decent at making the simple horizontal pass when needed be; he seems to use possession well.

alexf Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Seemed more of a whirlwind deal compared to the others. Pitch black everywhere, all lights at training ground off, hardly anyone there etc Hope he gets a tour of a stadium etc later but i guess it doesn't matter as he was desperate to join!

Aye what i meant was that its not his outstanding trait, while he's good at it there are other things he is good at which outshine his passing ability. He's no slouch in possession despite that i do agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Hope fans don't get too carried away though. Like all signings it may take him time to settle and adapt. (Anita anyone?) Can't wait to see him play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah not worried about fitness or his ability to fit straight into the team, cannot wait to see him power through from midfield with Mbiwa screaming through alongside him from the back. Loved it in Pards presser when he said we have been lacking Power.. Though for a second he was hoing to say black power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I remember the last time I was this excuted about signings and looking forward to a game was when we signed W.Barton, Ferdinand, Ginola,Hislop..was looking forward to the season ahead vs Coventry was yhe 1st match,..could say this match against Villa is a new season behinning for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Signed without even speaking to Pardew i like him even more now. Spoke to Cabs, thats all that matters. He is boss now.

dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 This should have happened in the summer. NOt now we're in the fucking shit. Yay another player in, let's see if it makes a fucking difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Agreed to a point. We gambled that we would be fine with the team that finished 5th. The odds were good. Had we bought these players in the Summer we would have spent more than double. Doesn't make things better but that's where we are, lets get behind them and push them forward.
