We certainly seem to be targeting the right profile of player since last summer

We better not be planning on spending much on him. Another 5ft 8 weakling with a poor scoring record.

His present club spent about 4.5M to sign him in 2023 so will likely cost a bit.
It will be less than 4.5m as it hasn't really worked.

Why are we bothering? We've already got Bianchini, Ronald, Eom, Ginnelly, MPH

A few days ago it was a L Orient player and now it’s a Lorient player.

Is someone reading the blueprint wrong?

Looked at his Wiki page, and guys, I think he might be a little too old for us:

Exactly

So we just keep chucking good money after bad?

0 assists in 806m, he'll fit well with our current crop

 

[Cinio Dydd Sul]

Will he get a work permit?

Well you can take Eom and Ginnelly out of the equation, because they have contributed the grand sum of zero .

I have skimmed through 3 YouTube videos of him and can conclusively say he's the greatest footballer that ever lived. Selective editing of the videos may have contributed to that impression.

On a marginally more serious note, from what I saw he does look lightweight, with chicken legs. However, he does give off some Dyer vibes in that you shouldn't mistake a lack of stature for not liking to get stuck into some battles with defenders and get sh*t done. I have to wonder why he hasn't been able to establish himself in the French 2nd tier though if he'e any good.

Who knows, it's all a crapshoot anyway.

Yep. Looks that way. Let's "target" 2nd Division foreigners who probably won't be able to adapt to the Championship.

Another winger?
Oh to be a fly on the wall in the last forward planning meeting.
Williams: Sell all our central midfielders, and buy more wingers.
Coleman: We already have 5 wingers.
Williams : Yes but they are all shyt or injured all the time.
Coleman: Couldnt you try and use the players you have in a different formation?
Williams: Sell all our central midfielders and buy more wingers. See you next month.
