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.

xLiaaamx Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Acquah would be ahead of Colback and Hayden I'd guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

Alberts Mustache Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Don't think I'd be comfortable with Acquah next to Shelvey. Plays with too much risk and likes to set off on long runs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbxtn Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 That Afriyie Acquah has supposedly confirmed he's on his way to england. We were the only club linked with him, as far as I can tell. He's followed us on twitter n'all. He also recently started following Glentoran. 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.

Looks a tough, physical DM. He definitely looks like a good player and I must admit I haven't seen many Torino games the last seasons, but the few I've seen he looked like he likes to wander a bit too much. He tends to power forward when there's a given oportunity and likes to hold on to the ball a little too long in some situasions. Not the ideal partner to Shelvey in my book, but do correct me if my impressions are wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Aboubakar according to FutbolArena apparently : Certainly looks like an entertaining player! Good stats too Rennes in for him apparently.
