Wittmann Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Like Trent, suspicious of this one. Very happy if it's true though... It just seems wrong somehow. I could see it being a dry gag that had been lost in translation fairly easily. And journalists regularly follow the herd... You can't lose something in French when it is started and then investigated/reported in French. There is no translation process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostarapter Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 If this is true it seems like a massive coup for us, very highly rated and linked with clubs in better situations thanus Now that is a proper statement!

Popular Post Dante_Lockhart Posted July 28, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 28, 2015 I can't believe Tim is signing all these Frenchies just to get Zog playing better. It won't work Tim. It won't. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 It's been reported by major football outlet over there. Don't see what's to question anymore. Not really, its more outlets recycling the same story over and over. Obviously hope its true though, but remain cautious I didn't expect Gueye, Ayew or Amavi to be true when i first heard them.

Khizzy Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 If this is true and we're not getting Darder, would people still be happy with this signing? Hope this doesn't mean that we've given up on Cambiasso joining as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I am irrationally excited by this considering I have no idea who he is or how he plays. Anybody got any specific insight on his game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Nantes are resigned to him leaving for an English club. Only thing left to find out is which English club he is joining. FWIW, I'm sure it will be us. I still think we need another central midfielder after we bring in Veretout though. If we get Praet I might actually feel positive about the new season!

Obviously hope its true though, but remain cautious I didn't expect Gueye, Ayew or Amavi to be true when i first heard them.I don't agree with you, the media outlets running the Gueye/Amavi/Ayew stories are now linking our next (supposed) signing from the French league. But regardless they have been very good sources, so if they run it then I'd say it's credible. Edited July 28, 2015 by mightysasquatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Surely too much of a coincidence for the links to appear last night and his club confirm he's leaving this morning. Edited July 28, 2015 by DCJonah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wittmann Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 It sounds so much like a Villa transfer to me........'unnamed English club' we know we like to keep things quiet....Unfortunately, a loud mouthed french journo who has links to the president of Nantes lets it slip. Just because it wasn't broken in our press doesn't make it nonsense. Who for one knew about Crespo until Cordoba confirmed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
