And Its Smith Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 According to some French press we have signed him from Angers SCO. His goals took them to promotion last season to Ligue 1. Only seen clips on YouTube but looks pretty nippy, both footed but mainly right and decent in the air. Started a new thread because (a) the main transfer thread is a mess and (b) to stop Fordy claiming credit later.

'Orns Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Just retweeted something I saw on twitter.....forward from Angers in France, 'will soon sign for Bristol City' Hopefully we can go pun less with a name like this! Comes from a guy who contributes to @frenchftweekly an English language French football website.....maybe some truth to it? Anyone know anything about him!?

The Fat Controller Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 15 in 29 last season but overall record is about 1 in 3 at Ligue 2 level. No idea of relative standard of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider red Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 If we have pulled this one out the bag its exactly the kind of signing I would be hoping for, under the raidar decent player who wont be asking silly money and can do a job at championship level.

The Fat Controller Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Shall we just say he's awful then, cuts out the middle man? I don't think he's as good as that even. Less than a goal a game? Terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveller Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Apparently was Ligue 2 player of the year last season but I am only getting that from Twitter. Couple of annoyed Anders fans on there! Googled him & sounds promising. West Brom, Cardiff & Reading all linked earlier in 2015. 6' 2" and one of the top scorers in French 2nd tier. Been on loan at Caen and Cherbourg previously, so knows his way to the ferry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HLR Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Looks a decent proposition if we can get him - one thing I did notice, barring his deft finishing, was that he runs round like a loony after scoring.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
