    Christ, those YouTube videos make him look good. The thing that stands out is his acceleration to get to the loose ball over 5-10 yards, and then the use of his long levers to shield/win the ball.

    Looks happy to press forward and ball carry and try and pass. I reckon a lot of it doesn't come off, and the highlights... well, they're highlights, but it's good intent, and you can't really teach some of that fancier footwork he tries. Can see him being caught in possession a bit, and can see his thread-the-needle passes sometimes not coming off, but he looks active. And active is promising!

    Ouma looks good, but the real question is: has he been fed?

    Has it been reported anywhere else that we are linked with him?

    Ouma is a shrewd bit of business, few posts with him and Collins and we’ll have recouped
    The transfer fee from the billion interactions alone

    To the tune of Kaiser Chiefs' Oh My God:

    "Ouma god I can't believe it, Valley SE7's his new home"

    ... okay we can workshop something better

    Is it too far fetched to wonder if Ouma could be a bonus signing like he just became available because of what sounds like a collapsed permanent deal to Lech Poznan I think I read?

    is there any way we get both Ouma and Holsgrove and maybe sell JRC or more likely Docherty?

    I just worry that we’re pinning all our hopes on him and he gets injured early until say November time and all our midfield problems come back.

    Our midfield needs such an overhaul we probably need both Ouma and Holsgrove if we could afford both even if it means being ruthless and moving Docherty on?
    If we manage to sign both Ouma and Holsgrove I’ll actually disillusion myself into thinking the title charge is on

    I was about to ask exactly the same question. Where did this seemingly out of the blue rumour originate from?

    Holsgrove not playing for Estoril.
    Safely wrapped up in the Marriott at bexleyheath 
    Those were the days when word would slip out that a new signing was staying there. 
    Yes but my post above is pure bollox - I’m hoping for the Kenyan - the man looks like the ultimate midfielder - team him up with Chalobah pulling the strings and we’re in business - for a few games anyway

    Well Ronnie Moore did say that we would be signing two midfielders this week but the RW would be later in the window.  #Colinwasrightforoncebyaccident

    From an interview with Lech Poznan. Speaks English very well which always makes settling in easier

    Watching that clip, he seems way more than just a defensive midfielder thankfully

    Has anyone else made that link on here before? I may have missed it

    Andy Scott is head of recruitment at Estoril..


    That’s it then he’s guaranteed to be shit if Andy Scott thinks he’s ok. 

    Everything alright? Making miserable comments all day 😂
    Yes absolutely fine, will try harder to be more ecstatic about things tomorrow!😂
    We’ll be knocked out the cup to a lower league team tomorrow, plenty to look forward to! 
    Yeah, how about fuck off!! I’ve been plenty positive in the past also, I say it how I feel.Dont be a prick
    AFKA was making a joke about Charlton not you. Not sure telling a mod to eff off is the smartest move either

    I think you've completely misread/misinterpreted the post you've responded to. Don't think it was a dig at you at all.

    You’ll laugh about this in the morning and hopefully so will AFKA - you’ve definitely misread his post

    Sorry where has this “link” come from?  Is it a random Twitter thing or is there some substance 

    he looks like the sort of midfielder we’ve needed for a while - lots of energy and plenty of talent to go with it.  I’ve wanted a proper engine I. The engine room for years.  Semedo was like a horse but not mobile enough.  This guy seems like he could have a huge amount of potential to be a “Kane” type of player who just doesn’t stop moving.  Colour me excited
