Transfer Rumour Ishak Belfodil

[Groucho]

So is he on a similar level to Lookman?

Just keep reminding yourselves: the alternative to Lukaku is Kone.

Never seen this lad, never heard of him since a couple of hours ago

But for some bizarre reason I'm thinking a new Mido

 

[scratchnsurf]

haha, are you sure that wasn't boufal, soton's record ever transfer? Coming to think of it, after the millions and millions saints have been given in the last few years, how is £16m their record transfer fee?

Not seen much of him but i think he used to play out wide at inter and parma and now has moved in to the centre at standard. This may explain the goal ratio now vs at previous clubs.

 

[DRM]

so we had a bid rejected, offered a higher amount and then found out there was a much cheaper buy out clause?

Or reports had heard we were in for him, guessed the price(s) on reputation and actually know jack all.

If it is as low as 4million euros (which is even less in £) surely this isn't the backup striker we crave for lukaku? I feel he may be a bit of a bolasie replacement, whilst offering a little bit different.

So some people complain we paid too much for him. And now that it seems to be less, he's probably not good enough because we paid so little?

Makes much more sense frankly. At that price, welcome home lad!

Closer to his valuation. He hasn't exactly set the world alight.

Hello guys,

Im not an Everton supporter, but when i heard about this transfer news, as an French/Algerian, i thought it would be useful to give some details about this player that i know quite well.

I saw a lot of a people comparing him to Graziano Pellé, maybe because of his heading ability ? He's more an 9,5 than an number 9, i think you've all noticed by looking his stats in wikipedia but if you see the amount of goals he scored the last two years, there's a huge difference compared to his Parma, Livorno and Inter's stats, and this can be justified in 2 points :

His position, and his game time.

2013 to 2015, Belfodil was more a sub than anything else. But there's something that no one noticed : He was used as a winger most of the time: (Only found this comp)

Belfodil is a very technical player, maybe a little bit selfish sometimes but he know when to pass, i've searched for you an exemple of how he perform this season :

In my opinion, he can flop like he can be a bargain, It all depends on how the club will manage him, and how he will manage himself.

Thank you

For 4m I would bum him twice.

Oumar Niasse part two, this guy wasn't good enough at Inter Milan how can he be good enough for team like ourselves.

You've never EVER seen him play? What a muppet.

...4m Euros according to RTL;

http://www.rtl.be/sport/football/fo...ins-que-10-ou-12-millions-d-euros-881997.aspx

All other sources say otherwise; also I don't rate RTL. Not really arsed about the number though.


He already has this article on Rtbf:


Le Standard dit doucement au revoir à Belfodil, Jankovic "ne va pas pleurer"


Il y a des signes qui ne trompent pas. Même si Ishak Belfodil a participé aux deux séances ce mercredi, même si il a chassé la balle au milieu du Toro tel un jeune premier, même si devant le but il a été le plus adroit, il est déjà parti à Everton.

Et avec lui, l'ambition - pour tout un club - de s'ancrer pour de bon dans le top 6. Rien n'est fait, même si au loin, on a cru reconnaître l'agent de Belfodil... 12 millions d'euros, c'est énorme pour un garçon venu gratis en septembre.

Alexandar Jankovic, entraîneur du Standard : "On est fier de lui. De son parcours ici. C'est un professionnel exemplaire. On va se servir de son exemple pour booster le groupe. Il n'est pas encore parti, mais bon... En tout cas, on ne va pas pleurer." Ce n'est effectivement pas le style de Jankovic.

Eric Deflandre, son adjoint, adhère au propos : "Ishak a toujours été exemplaire ici. Un joueur comme ça, tu veux toujours lui faire plaisir... S'il peut aller dans un grand championnat, on ne pourra pas le bloquer."

En filigrane de ce discours, on devine que le Standard dit au revoir à son meilleur joueur. Il devrait recevoir 12 millions d’euros d’Everton.

Loin de ces considérations, Guillaume Hubert, le gardien, imagine déjà la vie sans Belfodil. "Il va nous manquer même si rien n'est fait. Mais il existe des solutions à l'intérieur du groupe."

On imagine néanmoins que le Standard va réinvestir une partie du pactole dans la venue d’un remplaçant. Les supporters l’espèrent. Eric notamment. "Si la direction nous trouve un profil similaire, ok. Sinon, ce sera hasardeux..."

Ishak Belfodil va partir en laissant un vide énorme, mais Alexandar jankovic voulait encore répéter : "On ne va pas pleurer..."



Jankovic is his trainer who's effectually saying goodbye here.
