Dr_Pangloss Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 He's been lauded as Clermont's best player looking at some of their fans' posts on their Facebook page. Also won their most recent Player of the Month award. Glad to have him. Don't want to put too much pressure on the lad, after all this is a team game. Hardly a difficult achievement...

villan_007 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hardly a difficult achievement... I doubt very much you know a single player or their qualities from the entire ligue 2 let alone their team - ridiculous statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Houllier rates him highly apparently. I think he knows more about french football than any of us. Edited January 31, 2013 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 31, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hardly a difficult achievement...All we can do is buy their best and it appears we've done that. No need to try and belittle it. Gems have been found at that level before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amo69 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Beggers can't be choosers and right now I'd take anyone. Maybe just his precence will helps us in the middle of the park. One more please.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) I'm absolute with Big John on this one, if we were 'safe' then this is a perfectly fine signing. But to expect this guy to hit the ground running given he has just come from ligue 'deux' is unfair on him. It's a massive ask to expect anything from him in his first half a season here, hell even Ashley Young took his time to really get going, he ought to be signing players that are likely to get us out of this mess...

I agree with that too. Let's hope this other rumoured signing is more proven. But as it is, we have bought this bloke and from what we can gather from what we know, we've bought a pretty good one who his own fans will miss. And to repeat, he's an actual defensive midfielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will do too much harm if N'Zogbia has a chat to him in French. Hopefully can help him settle in. As long as they all talk English when defending corners, as we wouldn't want that to become a weakness other teams could exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was Croatia when we signed Balaban and the people I spoke to, to a man, were raving about him so I wouldn't read too much into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep he was an expert in the Bruno Cheyrou's of this world. You've made me worry about this player now. Houllier is one of the biggest charlatans in the modern game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
