r0cafella Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Cannot understand why people see this as a bad deal. It's a loan so seems like low risk - high reward kind of deal. If the starts scoring, great, if not then he goes back. Seems like a plan B anyway with Remy and Berahino not coming We are gonna create a lot more chances now with Townsend and Shelvey. Attacking left back would be the last piece. I agree with this apart from the Townsend part, partly because I think hes crap and the other part is he has no record of creating these chances you speak of.

Varadi Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 He's got a career scoring record better than 1 in 2, that's pretty impressive tbh. Can't say I've seen much of him but if he's quick and knows where the goal is he would immediately be our best striking option imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 We're crying out for a forward with some pace to stretch opposition defences, alongside Townsend and Sissoko as well this will make a big difference creating space for Gini to run into as well as increasing our options for Shelvey to pass to. Much rather we went for him than Gomis, I'm prepared to give him a chance and I'm happy that we're bringing him on. Am I allowed to say that on here at the moment or not? People will agree with you until he has a poor game, then he'll be worse than Shola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 We need goals right now, especially away from home and he'll score more than Mitrovic will so I think he's worth signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Doing some of that reliable Dennis Wise scouting, there's like a 15 minute video of his goals and there's some great finishes in there. He seems to pick up positions well which is desperately what we need right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this apart from the Townsend part, partly because I think hes crap and the other part is he has no record of creating these chances you speak of. Townsend still probably is (and has to be) better than Thauvin has been this season. I am not saying Townsend is gonna be assisting loads of goals, but just because we are gonna be threat on both sides are gonna make us harder to defend against. Doumbia seems like a tricky and pacey striker, which we really haven't had in a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Perez will most likely make way for Townsend we should compare those two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perez is good going forward, but has faded a bit recently. Does Steve see him more of a striker/second striker? But at least we are having a some competition for places, its not good for Mitro or Perez to be starting every week when there is no one to take your place. A bit like Colo has been playing for few seasons now.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I don't know the greatest amount about this guy, but he has a decent record, and from what people have said his main attribute is pace, which is something we've lacked for a while. I'd rather someone like Remy, but I'm willing to give this guy a go, I hope he can come in and hit the ground running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 My worry coming from the leagues mentioned and based on how the likes of saivet has looked thus far is that he's going to spend a good while getting battered about.

NG32 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Amazing how quickly they can do things when their asset/business is going under...but barely lift figure to improve when it's sitting in 10th place in the league. None of this cash would have been spent if we'd been sitting on 30th. Counts the lot of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Russian league isn't absolutely terrible, so I'm hoping him flopping at Roma was down to bad luck rather than ability. Still don't get why we didn't focus on Remy.

BillClinton Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I think we always assumed Remy was the failsafe when our attempts for Lacazette and Berahino (predictably) failed. Then Remy chose a much better option in Leicester and we are now scrambling around like idiots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going for Berahino would be the safer bet - they just need to stump up the asking price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
