http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2015/08/2...tm_source=twitter&utm_content=HITCdeadlineday 23yr old Ghana international striker. Interest also from Italy and Germany apparently. Can he play the lone striker role? Competition for Deeney is certainly needed.
Ah yes didn't see that. According to transfermarkt he's 5"9. Think we can forget this one! http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mahatma-otoo/profil/spieler/161148
This got me thinking so just did some stat work (i'm in one of those moods). 15 PL teams used 1 up top in the last round of matches. The strikers up top were: Deeney: 180cm Lukaku: 190cm Aguero: 173cm Rondon: 189cm Costa: 188cm Sakho: 184cm Graham: 183cm Gomis: 184cm Jerome: 185cm Diouf: 185cm Kane: 183cm Murray: 183cm Rooney: 178cm Mitrovic: 189cm Benteke: 190cm Average height: 184.26cm (6.04ft) Marginal difference but interesting to see Deeney is one of the smallest. Again, such a small difference that I don't think it matters.
Pelle had some decent movement, hopefully Troy was watching. He was coming deep to get on the ball, drifting wide and making runs down the sides of Prodl and Cathcart. Nearly scored through one of those runs but Gomes made a good save.
If this f****** formation ultimately sees the end of Deeney cos he isn't suited to it (along with almost everyone else), I'm going to become one of the people who bays for the managers blood and suggests he's worse than your average child sex offender every time we don't win!
Apparently in the changing rooms their players have been heard to say this guy is even better than FF.
I'm sure there is some way we can dodge this using our other clubs. Loan him to Granada for experience until he has a Spanish passport.
