jacketspuds Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I can see us failing in our bid for Said Benrahma and just bringing in Saido Berahino instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsieur Hazdazler Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 His YouTube compilation videos are probably as weird as his Instagram. This whole thing is just weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carewjust4u Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 His scoring stats seem impressive until you look at the other names in contention. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/super-lig/torschuetzenliste/wettbewerb/TR1/saison_id/2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digavilla Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Can’t figure why Smith would sign a Marlon Harewood type of striker .. it’s so different to his other previous more mobile strikers like Maupay etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 When I first looked him up and saw the goal record I got a semi, then the more you read up and watch him in action the more and more he seems to go against the sort of player we're after. Perhaps it's a bit of lazy journalism with the Trezeguet association or perhaps he's actually good and looked worthwhile when we were scouting Trezeguet. It does seem a bit of a curious one though.

jacketspuds Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Doesn't seem to fit the "we want to make a statement" striker signing with Maupay as back-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it is odd. The Turkish media have had a mixed record with us too. Obviously they picked up on Trezeguet deal first but they were also adamant we were buying that Galatasary CB and went on about it for days.

Monsieur Hazdazler Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 best video I’ve found. Seems like he moved mid season and then only scored penalties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Well, while searching for Berk Balaban, I found some footage of Gala's training regimen. No wonder Diagne has only scored penalties since being there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maupay isn't the quickest is he. He seems to take an age to get the ball out from under his feet and still end up scoring. Different ball game with premier league defenders.

omariqy Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I genuinely think people got excited about a Belotti type signing for no reason. We have spent 22m on Wesley. If we sign another it will be a back up who is up and coming or a Harewood type. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be ideal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Diagne could easily work in our system as a backup striker - looks strong, gets others involved etc. Doubt he'd be prolific but if he fits in then why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
