slough_rover Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Too much money for him. Especially considering we could have purchased the likes of Witsel and co for that much.
roverandout Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 not a chance, goalscoring record is awful, for that kind of money, i would want far better but knowing doughnut he would probably pay it as well. What happened to the talks of raul and podolski? why are we looking at more second rate rubbish?
Eddie Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Have to agree that I wouldn't be a huge fan of this signing. He's not a terrible player, but the fee seems too high. That is a lot of money for a player in Ligue 2, even from a side that has just been relegated. The one question there would be how much the fee is related to the marketing boost his team would receive from having him. He's not a great finisher, but his movement can be quite good. I certainly can't see him scoring that many goals in the premier league.
Teacup Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 I believe he also plays in the midfield, right/left wing. Some of the games for AS Monaco last season he played but not as the striker, other times as a second striker, sometimes as a lone striker. He seems to get moved around a lot. Could explain his erratic goals per game ratio.

Which is bound to affect your goalscoring record. However if he was a class striker he wouldn't be moved about really.
braddock Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Which is bound to affect your goalscoring record. However if he was a class striker he wouldn't be moved about really. Like Rooney?
Teacup Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 Which is bound to affect your goalscoring record. However if he was a class striker he wouldn't be moved about really. Or if the coach knew what he was doing? I mean they did get relegated, obviously something was wrong. Perhaps Kean wants him to play on the wing, he has the speed and technique to be a good winger.
braddock Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Is this the marquee signing? Who are you asking? And even if someone replies, why take their answer as fact, or not believe it?
philipl Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Who are you asking? And even if someone replies, why take their answer as fact, or not believe it? As usual you know nothing and contribute even less.
donnermeat Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Like Rooney? Hmmmm little bit of a different situation I feel there. Everybody already knows the quality of him, proven on all levels.
Teacup Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 Is this the marquee signing? Possibly, I hear he has a good following in his home country. Obviously not world wide recognition, but its a start
andyroversmad Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 If we are going to pay that kind of money we should just pay the extra and sign Honda.
Teacup Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 If we are going to pay that kind of money we should just pay the extra and sign Honda. Well, you have to take into account wages etc, this guy could be considerably cheaper than Honda there (probably a lot cheaper).
rogerjonesgloves Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 As usual you know nothing and contribute even less. Pots and kettles Syedman.
braddock Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Hmmmm little bit of a different situation I feel there. Everybody already knows the quality of him, proven on all levels. True, but it does show that even the best can be moved around.
Two left feet Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 I'd imagine this will come out of the "Marquee" pot. Would increase our Asia following and would sell shirts over there I presume.. although it seems too much. I'm not Shane Long's biggest fan.. but if we are paying 7m for this guy.. i'd much prefer to add another million and go for Long.
Hekla Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 We're Blackburn Rovers, who do people expect us to sign. How do we know that this guy will be bad? It is always funny how people judge beforehand.
roverandout Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 why would i care about selling shirts in some far flung place on the map? i want a goalscorer, as supporters all we should care about is buying proven quality, a proven finisher. Leave the marketing side of things to the marketing department.

Leave the marketing side of things to the marketing department. Who do you suggest then? Proven goalscorers cost £10 million plus. We are not mega rich, buying younger players may be a gamble but how do we know how they will turn out?
Teacup Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 why would i care about selling shirts in some far flung place on the map? Money.

john.leigh Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Latest news -- to play alongside Goodwillie we are looking to sign Korean player Hung Long. I'll let you provide your own commentary...
