My view on it is he's a similar asset to Franck Moussa, mouldable enough to swap wings and is happy to be on either, whip of a left foot on him but can use his right, but let's hold for someone who knows him better than anyone. Once he gets board admission lol.
What? The YouTube footage shows 1 thing - he is class. He gets into good areas and he scores bloody good goals. My only question - why isn't he in the Premier League?
(Unless you jest?)
As @Swisdom said he's not a prolific goalscorer, and what about the rest of his game, is that Prem standard?
On his interview on CAFC Player he talks about playing regularly. I think that was probably very important to him, but with a 2 year deal he keeps his options open.
Yes I agree fully, but he can do it at international level. Each of those goals v Switzerland were so good in different ways. I repeat - he is CLASS! Much more to offer the team than previous signings IMOH.
As much as his goal compilations are rather tasty - we need to bear in mind that he is not that prolific a goalscorer. He just seems to get worldy's when he does score!
Looks very exciting - the benefits of a much broader scouting system and contacts than we previously had, plus Roland stumping up what was presumably a substantial signing on fee.
Very good to get these players on board before the squad departs for Spain. Something of a contrast to last year, when we signed Churchy and Sordell 2 or 3 days before the season opener at Bournemouth.
We now look to be gathering some real momentum. Hopefully, it will encourage people who are wavering to commit to a season ticket.
Shame we could not have kept Poyet,still think we need a CMF player ie,Scholes,Keen,also with due respects to Pope think a top Goalkeeper would be nice.
I like what were doing at the moment. Fantastic to see investment in our great club. After being really dubious about RD, I cant help but now be impressed with his business methods. Some hard almost ruthless decisions made but tbh im feeling quite optimistic about the season ahead. Might even have a little flutter on promotion!

This is pretty much where I am. Really looking forward to the season now.
Time for me to make a comment on all the latest transfer activity............GET IN.....this guy will be mustard in my opinion....looking forward to the new season with 'guarded' enthusiasm......we have made some quality signings so far..i agree we still need a target man and a keeper with experience...but so far so good.....COYR's

When RD first came in did not the SL fans come on this very forum and say "you won't like what he's going to do to your club but in time you will"? Let's hope the next part of what they said about wining the league is as prophetic!!
Quietly impressed by all of this. Don't get me wrong, this bloke, Buyens, Vetokele et al may well turn out to be duds but this feels much more exciting than last season. Bring it on.

us left footed players look soooo much classsier than right footed players

As usual, I know nothing about our latest signing but I know others will as per their posts leading up to the announcement.
2 things come to my mind...Wonder what other Champ Clubs are thinking about our numerous signings & our new owner now ? ( OP eat your heart out!)
And, secondly, what a selection of quality players Big Bob has to work his magic with !
Not looking for too much from tomorrow's game but Peterborough & Pompey and then Brentford ....well, this old girl is getting pretty excited !!
Bring it on !!!
But I like you ...
