KaKa Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Looks good in the jersey. Powerful build for a 20 year old. This guy is going give us some presence up top at last. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Feels even better now it has happended Get in. Think this lad will hit cult status pretty quickly. Hard not to agree with McLaren that this is another statement of where we want to go. 2-3 more at this level this summer and this season will have an excitement factor for the first time in years. I get the impression more might come over the next 2 windows as well based on his comments when he signed. Could just be the start of something new.

Nobody Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 He's not my type of player like, but I'm blatantly going to like him. There'll probably be loads of NUFC fans that hates him, which will make me love him even more. Having a 1 in 2 goal scoring ratio while having played so many games already for a 20-year old is canny impressive, even if it's only in the Belgian and Serbian league. Encouraging that he's scored in the CL as well though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope is a killer Honestly, Winegums and YoungKetsbaia aren't even adequate backfill for the inaction shown in previous windows. Our three CBs (yes, three, which is somehow now just the norm) are still Colo, Willo and Tayl...-o. It's a start, I can't deny but there's a long way to go before hope enters the equation. So far, this is the minimum investment required to keep us in the league and get easily-swayed bums back on seats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Very exciting signing. Another few key signings in the same mould as the first two and this season could actually be an interesting one. Fully prepared for it all to come crashing down before September 1st. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving the calibre of players we are after and have landed so far though. Let's hope we stay with it and keep pushing for more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 What's the fee meant to be? Martin Hardy of the Independent reckons £12.7m. About fucking time we spent some money on the most important position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 So it looks like we're using the same strategy in terms of "sticking to targets on the list" but we're actually willing to spend some money now. If Mbemba follows in the next week or two, I'd say we're a quality wide player away from what you'd call a very good transfer window of incomings. Adding a utility defender/midfielder and a few Perez style young squad players would be a bonus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that celebration, which apparently has nothing to do with what we all thought (allegedly!).
