diehardvillan Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Who is this Bacuna? Anyone seem him play? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gNosiPCeWVQ Looks suspiciously like NZgobia in his play. Agree totally. Think this could spell the end of Nzogbia. The wages are the main issue I think. Welcome Bacuna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone seem him play? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gNosiPCeWVQ Looks suspiciously like NZgobia in his play. apart from not being a winger and playing deeper, running down blind alleys with his head down and falling over. yup. exactly the same. The clue to how much I know about the player was in the original post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 According to Dutch people, he's slow, but can strike a decent ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 He's a central midfielder now is he not? At 6'1" I'm not surprised they moved him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 He's basically a box to box midfielder, but is versatile that he can operate in wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 A central midfielder? No to Murphy then perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy909 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I think Popov, Belhanda and Bacouna were our options in the centre of midfield, playmaker role, it seems Bacouna is the one thats gone through. Popov, club refusing to sell, Belhanda costing too much. So thats the playmaker, Okore our CB, Helenius our ST, Tonev our winger. Probably a bonus this Bacouna can play the wing. Cresswell LB and this lad from Norwich the GK? 6 signings? Is that it? RB cover is needed and I also think a CM would be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardvillan Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 He used to be a winger, but he has been used more as a box-to-box player now with a lot of success. Something which we have been lacking for quite some time is a player arriving late in the box, and this kid seems to fit the bill. Fingers crossed.

Wes Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 This kid seems incredibly versatile. In his last season he played: AM: 7 times CM: 4 times RB: 5 times LW: 1 time RW: 16 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 wow so this effectively rules out Murphy Belhanda and Popov or any other CM links. Sounds like hes an attacking midfielder. This one came out of the blue. Noone else interested in him besides Reading in the past? Any idea of the fee? Interesting this one.. not alot of footage.. hes only 21. Welcome to the club nonetheless. I am really enjoying the Paul Lambert off seasons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
