beasley14 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Way OT but look how bloody good our pitch is, puts plenty to shame in the Prem that i have seen recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacemanscott Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 How did those legs get through a medical? Ha ha! That is the funniest thing I've read for ages! It's true though, they are crazy legs. I hope they work better than they look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 23, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2011 well lets see if you are right. I hope he is better than Nigel. oh and regards Gabby, I thought scoring goals is what strikers are all about, but hey a more selective appraisal for that one ah. perhaps he's a certain type of striker that is not meant to score very often. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I think he'll struggle in his first few games and possibly a good while after this season. It'll take him time to adjust to the PL with its lack of space in the middle of the park and the rather physical nature of our game. If he doesn't struggle we've bought a real diamond Hm, players of his ilk tend to settle fine in the premier league, it's the midfielders that need time and space that struggle. We'll see, but the language barrier will probably be a bigger problem than adjusting to the style of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll take him time to adjust to the PL with its lack of space in the middle of the park and the rather physical nature of our game. If he doesn't struggle we've bought a real diamond Agreed. I do think he'll fit in nicely once he gets a feel for the league. Said a couple of times that he's the type of midfielder that comes to the Prem and gets sent off very early on in their career as they make a reckless challenge due to bad timing/positioning/'over exuberance', I won't be surprised to see him do the same before the end of the season. Once he does settle and get a grasp of our leagues style, he'll be very useful and suit it to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 he will take time.. but then again he has played against Real Madrid.. Wigan will be nothing to him. Biggest problem for him will be communication and learning his team mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b23avfc Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 my life... i had the same thought when i saw the pitch.. ok thoughts.. pitch and legs. I don't think the language thing is gonna be a huge problem. Clearly for the first 6 months most of our team haven't done too badly with French instructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claret75 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'm hoping him being from Cameroon, he'll be no stranger to the rough and tumble of the PL. The pace might take a bit of getting used to though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
