Ashtonwurzel Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Deal for this guy fell through at the last minute on deadline day. Looks like an ideal player for us but is a Moroccan international and will possibly be going to the ACoN's. Rhodes not getting much game time at Boro but obviously would be expensive, maybe a loan option ? Decent possibility that we are looking in Europe somewhere, will be interesting to see who we are after. Any whispers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat Fastard Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 It might be interesting to look at his minutes on the pitch, because when he was young, he may have been used mainly off the bench. I doubt he would be interesting Lee unless he was pretty effective - or has the potential to be pretty effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Vardy only scored 5x the season before last. There's so much more to take into consideration than just strike rate, maybe he's a targetman.

'Orns Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 A player that no one knows anything about, but already being tipped as 'not good' Brilliant As Fastard and Foggy point out, there's more to it than a line on wiki, mins on pitch and assists might just be two of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxo Jr. Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 On the strike rate, I remember when this initially came up that more informed posters on here said that Nantes (and much of Ligue 1) are by no means free-scoring teams. Also worth noting that Bammou turned professional very late on, only about 3 years ago I think. From what I've seen I can imagine him being a decent hold up striker, future Wilbraham replacement perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to at least consider Wiki in light of FIFA 17 and Football Manager rankings to get an informed opinion. While I in no way advocate simply using Football Manager as a judge of a players potential, there are some stories of how real life coaches have used it to look at potential signings. One time the son of the then Celtic manager took a teenager on loan from Barcalona B in the game and he tore up the division, he recommended this player to his father who made an arrangement for that loan to actually happen. Except that summer the Argentine teenager broke through into the Barcalona first team and Barca pulled out of the deal, Lionel Messi hasn't done too badly since then, has he?

Messi was meant for greatness since about 4 years old, think Barca would've laughed a bid away. I see your logic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Anyone know more about that young German guy .. Hans Neesund ? Apparently he's well thought of at a number of smaller clubs.

I'm not dismissing it either: in the right hands. Indeed I think it foolish for clubs not to install a copy... Where else could you get such a mammoth database for such a cheap price?

More than you might think. 15 have played in the Prem of which Hadji (Coventry) and Kachloul (Saints) were big successes, Chippo (also Coventry) Taraabt (QPR) and Amrabat, a regular now at Watford are the others who are best known. This guy looks like Wilbs replacement to me, a target man who is decent in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taraabt for example was a very hot & cold player with a lot of issues. Few lived up to their early promise and shone brightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is what does Wiki know? and the answer is not very much. He is currently playing on the right side of midfield, he scored a great strikers type goal last Saturday at FC Lorient. Luckily LJ doesn't sign players based on Wiki he is a little more scientific than that.

Not many top talents left, that is why they are struggling, I don't think money will be an issue to them to be honest, they made in millions in transfers in the past 8 years or so. I should be going to watch them soon and be able to see first hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L'Equipe (on 15th October) shows him with 14 goals from 111 games and as an " Attaquant". http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/FootballFicheJoueur50845.html So what do they know?
