KaKa Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Going into the last year of his contract so looks like he will be available for a very reasonable fee. This makes me think we will be interested. Yeah, as soon as I saw that I felt the story was for real. Plus we were interested in him when he first left France to join Porto. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Besiktas upset that they can't compete finacially with English clubs, looks like he won't be going there whoever he ends up with. Don't like judging players based on those highlight reel clips but the lad does seem to have a nice touch. I like strikers who aren't afraid to run at defenders. Some outrageous skill in his one vs one dribbling clips on youtube. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_69 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Some nob has already updated his wiki page.

Odear Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Good to see things moving along now. If we are indeed in for this Acquah character, it would suggest that Rafa plans to play LeJuene at the back and not in midfield as some papers had reported.

Odear Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Looks like our attempt to find a Kante. He's no Kante, probably more like James McCarthy if anything. William Carvalho would be the closest thing to a Kante in world football who is available, who will probably end up at Citeh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kante was always Kante, he just happens to be perfect for this league. His reading of the game, pace over short distance and simple distribution. The cosmos pretty much aligned for him when he made the move. It doesn't happen very often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Looks like a solid and tidy midfielder to me, going off highlights. Seems to have good strength, likes to drive forward as much as he can and has an eye for a pass too. I think he'd fit well into our current setup, giving Jonjo or Hayden more time to express themselves. I so hope Colback is bought by someone, haway Villa.
