toon25 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Wish we'd signed him years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 He's got much nicer technique on the ball, IMO. Seems to have much control in tight spots. Not as explosive an athlete but I don't think we quite need that so much. Reckon he's got more of an eye for a pass too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Comparing him to Sissoko after a few games is fairly ill-advised. He looks a good signing, can't we judge him on his own merits? There's only ever one type of French West African player, Dave. edit: beaten to it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 He's got much nicer technique on the ball, IMO. Seems to have much control in tight spots. Not as explosive an athlete but I don't think we quite need that so much. Reckon he's got more of an eye for a pass too. Yep, example being when he pulled it back for Ritchie first half. Sissoko would have blazed it across the box blindly. There was a spell during 13/14 season where he seemed to pull those back regularly...mainly for Cabaye.

themanupstairs Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 This guy has come in under the radar the past few games but I can see him developing into a massive figure for us this season. His experience and quality is a cut above in this league. He worked his arse to a pulp at Derby. If that chip had been on target... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 He's going to be a great signing, especially given the price. Thought he could have done a little better with one or two of our counter attacks on Saturday but that'll come with time I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I've been a bit disappointed with him in general, I must be missing something. He's been OK but I was expecting a bit more impact. Maybe I just haven't picked up on what he's been doing, y'all seem to be happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Like him. Powerful on the ball, works hard and has moments like that Bristol assist in him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just haven't picked up on what he's been doing, y'all seem to be happy. have to say i'm the same, won a couple of balls high up the pitch saturday in promising places but beyond that didn't really do much sure he'll get better as he goes mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 His Bristol City assist was pure taste. He should've played in Perez(?) in the second half on Saturday when he won the ball high up the pitch. Still nice to have someone winning the ball high up the pitch.

Happinesstan Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 The commentator on Saturday mentioned he was desperate to play in the prem but more than happy to join the rafalucion. Great to hear, but If we fail to go up he might turn into a Sissoko. Just gotta make sure we go up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 He's the diametric opposite of Sissoko from what I've seen, other than the obvious comparison. quite creative, and has some end product, but most of the 90 mins passes him by. Sissoko was always involved down the right and frightened the shit out of opponents with his pace. Every game. I need to see more of him over 90 mins, but at the moment he doesn't seem to be involved much at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 He's pretty ineffective playing behind Gayle. Wish we'd go 2 up for a change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
