STM Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 How highly rated is this guy? How much are we paying for him Literally never heard of him, other than the recent links. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 He's about as useful a striker as Gouffran I know that, as a midfielder I've no idea doubt he's the solution to our many problems though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 To be fair Gouffran would have been much better used here as a striker, at least he can score goals when played their consistently, he's pointless in midfield. Why he never got a go up front when we were playing fucking Shola there I'll never know, then again As far as Saivet, never seen him play but apparently he's a quick, powerful defensive midfielder and has been one of the few positives for Bordeaux this season. Also their captain so hopefully he could be a commanding presence in central midfield. Fee seems to be around £4.5m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 How highly rated is this guy? How much are we paying for him Literally never heard of him, other than the recent links.

Teasy Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 He's not just going to come in and be made captain obviously. But hopefully he can show some kind of leadership in midfield (if we sign him of course) because we've got none at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Inside a world where Jack Colback doesn't automatically start every game for us. What a time to be alive that would be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 He'll be shit, everything we touch turns to shit. On other hand if he's mobile, athletic and defensively sound he would be an upgrade on our centre midfield, height would be handy but able to cover the ground and tackle more important in centre mid for me - If he's remotely intelligent (Although doubtful if he wants to sign here) and tactically astute even better.

Dr.Spaceman Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I've never seen him at left back, but heard he wasn't horrendous at Sunderland when used there. Should we be scared? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Well, I've seen this guy like twice and he looked alright to me. Not sure how he handles this next step should he officially join us but our midfield engine needs something because we sure as hell have to try something new or we're dropping.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I still don't think we'll do very well with Wijnaldum and Sissoko in their weird pseudo-positions, but a decent midfield would help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobS Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 My guess is: Mitro/Austin Perez - Wijnaldum - Sissoko Shelvey - Saivet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 He'll be called a "beast" soon, as with any other big black midfielder. Big, white midfielder like Shelvey gets shit labels like "enforcer" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
