samo Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 After having a peek at his wikipedia entry I'd say it sounds interesting... 4 from 5 at u-21 level; a good sign of potential?All aboard the Vokes-wagon till the window slams shut (I'll pick up my own coat on the way out...)!

Nibor Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hardly likely that GJ will be telling the truth to the press about transfers.This lad sounds like "one for the future". If that's the case I can't imagine there's any rush to sign him before the window shuts if we are interested unless he's really something special and would be in contention for the first XI.

idrm18 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Just read this. Bournemouth fan seems to really like him but he's only got 5 this season not set the league alight...well tbh ive sen bournemouth twice this year and both times (v brighton in lge 1 and v mk dons in jpt) they played him as a lone striker who cant play as a lone striker. and bournemouth are pretty mch bottom of lge 1 so bit hard to set a leage alight fronm that far down the table.saw enough potential there though, possibly jo kouffor maybe?

RedUn Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 ... work in Dorset so I'll ask the locals tomorrow DanEarly bird report: Bournemouth ST says more or less what you'd expect - one of best big lads they've seen at that age, still raw but learns quickly even in the lone striker role. Will be decent player season after next and because of their parlous finances he's likely to go cheap. Apparently, he's a friend of another of m'colleague's daughter ...
