KaKa Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Doumbia's pace is frightening would be a great foil for Mitrovic. The "Bellamy" type that we've been crying out for. Not a terrible comparison. He is super quick and runs at defenders with the ball really well. I think the fans woul really like him. Type of player that causes havoc. A more current comparison is perhaps Saido Mane. Though Doumbia is more of a striker, and Mane a bit more of an attacking midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Douglas has had confirmation we have made a loan bid for Doumbia (on the Chronicle blog). WOAT? Fantastic. Hope we can get him. Remy is apparently injured and West Brom are not going to let us have Berahino. Doumbia is really experienced and brings similar attributes to those two. His goal scoring record on the whole is really great too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 We're going to be that one sweety team on Fifa, Wijnaldum, Townsend, Sissoko and Doumbia all with pace, Townsend and Shelvey with the thunder bastards, and Shelvey and Wiji with the through balls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Getting grief on Twitter for not knowing who Doumbia is Like many Newcastle fans knew his name at 9am this morning Most FIFA fans will know him I imagine. He's a nightmare on there I tend to follow the top African players in general, being from Nigeria. Otherwise, yeah, it would be surprising that people know him that well. Though they might do from Champions League games also, as he has featured there a lot with CSKA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Nah Saivet wasn't but Doumbia has played and scored in the CL for years against some pretty massive teams too. Not really the same thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepharite Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 With Doumbia up front and Townsend on the left our attacking options have expanded greatly from everything coming down the right. Give the opposition more to think about, open up the midfield etc... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
