    Laughs like a drain at his own jokes, talks for hours about accountancy and his home aquarium. Just don’t get cornered by him at a party.

    Ready made song though.

    I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a Borre
    If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
    But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
    'Cause everyone watches when I run down the wing
    I'm so grateful and proud
    All I want is to sing it out loud
    So I say
    Thank you for the Hornets, the games we’re winning
    Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
    Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty
    What would life be?
    Without the Vic or Elt what are we?
    So I say thank you for the Hornets
    For giving it to me.

    Probably a little bit to convoluting for the terraces, but very good though Moose ;)

    Borre-ing! Get with it Steve! This guy is as good as ours!
     
  10. This is a bit closer to correct pronunciation. Unfortunately it's an instrumental. Maybe we could just hum it and hope he has sufficient knowledge of Jethro Tull/JS Bach to realise it's for him.

    Anyone really seen him play much?
    Watched a few YouTube videos and he certainly looks calm infront of goal. What I can't work out is whether his movement is excellent to find space or defensively the opposition are really bad.

    Nixon says we are looking for a couple of new strikers. Would this fella and Ugbo be adequate?

    Don't forget Essaid Belkalem was (definitely) wanted by every elite club in Europe before Gino sold him the Hertfordshire dream

    Close, Borre seems as if he might possibly be good enough to start and Ugbo could be a decent option to have on the bench.

    They both seem pretty similar in style though - fairly quick goal-poachers, but not especially big, with neither seeming as if they'd be particularly good with their back to goal or in the air. It'd probably be useful to have a third option who can offer us that in case we need a 'Plan B' (and no TD is not capable of those things any more).

    Just watched this highlight video - a proper tap in merchant and scorer of some of the scruffiest goals you'll ever see. Get him in!

    Love that kit, I'd take that next season. Yellow shirt with a black or red sash. Lovely stuff.

    Not a problem as he’ll not be quick enough to be ahead of Sarr anyway.

    Done the business regularly for River Plate, intelligent clever player knows where to find the net. Physicality not so good can be pushed out of games. But looking for a move to Europe. Markoas I think posted this suggestion before.

    Never mind parties that is a good description of one of my coach colleagues!
    Substitute accountancy for his match in 1998 v Treacle Bumstead III team and aquarium for a bullet collection and that's him.
    Also a useless coach but hey,it's only a tennis club so what does that matter?!

    This is just a smokescreen. We're actually in for a 13 year old Bolivian who is touted as the next Ronaldo, attracting interest from Real Sociedad.
    This will be our entire business for the summer.

    Looks like he gets in areas to score goals but something about the way he moves doesn't look right. Nevertheless if he signs for us he'll turn out to be absolute gash.

    Some cracking goals amongst them.

    However, it would be great to get someone that actually gets in a position to scramble a goal or tap them in. It is what we have been missing for several years.

    Suggested him about three weeks ago in the suggestions page. I have some concerns about stylistic fit - he seems like the kind of guy who would reliably get goals in a dominant side and he wouldn’t be much of an outball - but on a free would be a no brainer.

    I messaged Simon Edwards, probably the best English-speaking expert on Colombian football (Santos Borre is Colombian although he plays in Argentina), on Twitter and this is what he had to say:

    “He is perfectly suited to English football. Reminds me of Patrick Bamford at Leeds. Very snart, lots of good runs, hard working, tactical but with very good technique too. Not always the most clinical in key moments but a top top pressing forward who works hard, links the play and helps defensively.”
