Villan4Life Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) A Quick twitter search on Charbonnier and some fan was comparing him to Giroud about 4 hours ago and states that he is faster than Walcott.. Never seen the dude play myself, but i doubt he's faster than Walcott!! Hazem @Hazem75_h 4h4 hours ago For Arsenal fans, Gaetan Charbonnier is the new Olivier Giroud. Best head's player, Very good technically and faster than Walcott. 9M€ #AFC Edited August 31, 2015 by Villan4Life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen the dude play myself, but i doubt he's faster than Walcott!! Why not? Adama is probably faster that Walcott. I personally don't know as I've not heard of this guy or seen him play so he could be faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) His goal record doesn't look great but if he's played for Paris Saint-Germain and Montpellier when they were champions, he must have shown some promise in his career.

Reims are 2nd in the French Ligue 1 at moment.. Not sure how many Charbonnier has scored this season but scored in 4-0 win over Lorient at weekend Edited August 31, 2015 by Villan4Life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfingers Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Well Stuart Pearce reckons Austin will be playing for us by Wednesday. I'd be amazed tbh, but sherwood has shocked us so far. where we playing on Wednesday then ? I think the reference to Wednesday is that it is the first day after the window has shut rather than an inference that we are playing on Wednesday-The "by Wednesday" as opposed to "on Wednesday" being the giveaway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fight Like Lions Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Still think we'll end up with an underwhelming addition from Palace who need to sell a couple of places to avoid FFP trouble. Campbell or Gayle most likely. At this stage I'd be absolutely delighted with Adebayor or Austin, neither of which I've been that keen on up until now!

HeyAnty Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Having already bought half of Ligue 1, Aston Villa could make one last delve into the Ligue 1 transfer market before the end of France's transfer window, if beIN Sport are to be believed. According to Smail Bouabdellah, who is a journalist and presenter on the French sports channel, the Premier League club are in advanced talks to sign Gaëtan Charbonnier from Reims. However, Villa aren't the only ones interested, with Mainz and HSV in Germany are also currently trying to negotiate a deal for the French forward. Aston Villa clearly hold the advantage here financially, but it remains to be seen whether or not the striker would be first choice at Villa Park, with Rudy Gestede and Jordan Ayew having already been bought this summer. Despite these claims, Alexandre Audabram, a journalist for French radio station France Bleu Champagne, claims the club have categorically denied that an offer has been made for Charbonnier. Furthermore, he adds that no talks have been held whatsoever over the transfer of the French striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we need to panic buy though so we are in a stronger position. I don't think we are in mortal danger without a new striker, we will just be in the lower reaches (which is crap I know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 However, Villa aren't the only ones interested, with Mainz and HSV in Germany are also currently trying to negotiate a deal for the French forward. Were Mainz not in for Kozak? Realistically, is this guy any better? Perhaps Reims would take Zog and that's what makes this chap so attractive to Sherwood? Either the money has dried up and we're looking at cheap, Lambert-style. last minute deals or the targets we did have are still under discussion (Austin? Adebayor? Rolan? Berbatov?!) hence no new links. Can't see any great surprises tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
