According to Guilianelli, we've enquired about Doumbia. Behave, Gino. https://twitter.com/EmaGiulianelli/status/617443929466781697
Yeah this is the guy that spouted a load of **** about us and "linked" many of our transfer targets/players last year to Leeds because he decided to crawl up Cellino's backside. Wouldn't trust him if my life depended on it
Being linked again on Twitter. Does anyone know much about him other than he seems another high profile target?
Not as much as before. Use to love that visiting the family in down near Padstow but not made in Rock anymore unfortunately. Gone all 'hipster'.
Saw something to that effect a few weeks ago. No space left in Rock to meet demand so 95% of all the brewing is now done in the coastal waters of Burton On Trent.
Is he even that good? Seems to have built an entire reputation based on what he's like on FIFA Ultimate Team.
That's the main reason for the hype. He had a decent goal record in Russia, but it's not the fastest (nor best in quality) of leagues. Technique and finishing is not fantastic, pace is literally the only exemplary aspect of his game. Even then I reckon Anya at full speed could give him a run for his money.
Just changed my mind, I wanna sign him now. 2 goals in 6 starts for Roma. 7 goals in 8 starts for CSKA in 2014/15 18 goals in 18 starts for CSKA in 2013/14 3 goals in 4 starts for CSKA in 2012/13 28 goals in 42 starts for CSKA in 2011/12 30 goals in 29 starts for Young Boys in 2009/10 20 goals in 8 starts (not a typo) for Young Boys in 2008/09 Has scored 5 goals in 3 games against Man City in Champions League matches.
Has a serious reputation Will be amazed if he comes to our tinpot club... but if he does I shall run down the street in my pants shouting WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAA AAA HHHAA HAAAA
My Father in-law who is from Rome has just messaged me asking why we keep wanting Roma players. They're currently in talks about this fella for sure. So could hear more about this soon.
Hmm. Whenever I've watched him my original points are valid (bar 1 match against City), but those stats are impressive. Plus we'd be everyone's choice in Fifa. Vydra and him up front. Paredes and anya on the wings. Dat pace.
Deeney Doumbia Abdi Vydra Capoue NEW Holebas Prodl Angella NEW Gomes goals goals goals In my dream anyway
That's what I would do with them yes.... Holebas is an offensive full back and with a similar player on the right can provide the width all entirely hypothetical of course before the usual crowd shoot be down
Ouch that's a very attack minded team. Would be some interesting results. But I like the way that you think....
Disappointed that you haven't found a place for Cathcart, who was our best defender last season (and yes, I remember what I said when he was signed). Is it cos he is not very foreign?
This is actually beginning to pick up pace, but I can't help but feel we should really, really, be signing some wingers.
I'm sure we will. In fairness Perotti was almost the first player we tried to sign this summer, so the priorities are there!
According to Spuds fans, Capoue and Stambouli decent defensively not best creatively, which would be perfect for a set up like this. Great protection for the back 4 and covering the gap behind the FBs when attacking.
