Transfer Rumour Ishak Belfodil

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Maybe he's been brought in to do the hold up play and hard work Rom is so incapable of doing. Rom to then be pushed out wide or play as a 10.

Sorry mate I was referring to Sigurdsson

Oh yeah, missed that.

 

[bluesb1970]

Seems like he would play a similar role to pelle?

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Put a few more million to that £10.4m and we could get Berahino. @Mikey_Fitzgerald

 

[Arnold]

Is this a done deal?

 

[Carlito]

Kip of his goal record.

They're doing this to punish me for laughing at Lukaku's control.

 

[TheFinnFan]

I hope we get this guy

I like this guy's style of play. He actually looks for a pass unlike some of our other attackers. From my youtube viewing and article reading:

Positives:
Tall, Strong and Hard Working
Good Header
Decent speed and pretty good dribbling for a big man
Good vision and passing

Negatives:
Has struggled with striking accuracy
Doesn't seem to be great at any one thing
Turning 25 tomorrow and has just recently started scoring goals in Belgium, prior to that he was passed around a lot with little success

Hopefully he's finally figured some things out and can make good on this £10 million fee. I do think he fits well and will be good at holding the ball and facilitating our attack.

Said it before: if we threw £25M at Sigurdsson and left it at that for this window I for one would be happy. We dont require urgent replacements elsewhere other than up front. The summer will come around and the likes of Lookman and Belfodil will look like mad panic buys...£22M worth of panic.

This window is madness.

The whole transfer market place is madness mate.

 

[DRM]

He has played on the wing for most of his career Friend, hence his shocking strike rate.

Why dont you trust my word?

Im hurt.

I don't get why so many people on here can already be so negative without having seen the lad play.
I have seen him play a couple of games (the entire match) and think he will do great for us.

It comes down to how much you like Koeman/Walsh. I bet there is a trend that develops.

Most people who have watched the lad actually play all think that.

The only negative people are the 1s who are looking at wiki and saying swerve, something I personally was guilty of when the news first broke.

 

[Thomasc]

Do you still believe a big name will have to be sold in the summer to fund this?

Do you actually care about his opinion?

 

[bugsy]

Is he away at the cup of nations currently? Let's hope he doesn't get hurt there if so...

No they never picked him in Spain on mid season training so presuming he must have dual nationality with France

 

[upthetoffees]

What about the resale value though Dave?

He's 27..........

And where would he play like? In Barkley's position?

He'd be yet another CDM or at least holding midfielder. Something I think we've filled plenty with the signing of Morgs.
