Welcome Yacouba

Positives to the move

1. He appears on the face of it to be strong and athletic exactly what is required.
2. Decent price
3. Decent age

Negatives to the move

1. Why has it taken this long to get him in!!!!!! This guy could of been brought in first week of January available for all of the games. I would suggest he was down the list of targets but if we are hoping for him to make an impact now would of been a darn site easier at the start of January. He is not the sort of player who was keeping his options open I wouldnt suggest

2. Unproven no experience in the Prem - ring any bells

As they were both just before my time, I always get Warren Aspinall mixed up with Simon Stainrod.

Which was better?

Neither!!

[PaulWinch again]

Not quite what the team needs but still, in our position, it's churlish to complain I suppose.

I do have a fear that he will get a straight red in his first game, serve the three match ban, struggle to establish himself and then slowly fade into the history books as the player signed to save us from the drop, but didn't.

I'm not sure in isolation he can save us from the drop(assuming he signs). It's up to the other players to start earning their wages and step the fuck up. However he is the style of player we need from his description. We need to stop getting out muscled and he would help with that.

[Astral Weeks]

With any luck, we'll sign Charybdis as his central midfield partner today.

[Risso]

Well it's a signing, which is always welcome, I just hope he hits the ground running and we don't have to hear "needs a full pre-season, time to adapt to the Premier League" etc.  He can't be any worse than Bannan though, so hopefully it will fill one of the gaping holes in the side, just leaving central defence to sort.

[N'ZMAV]

As long as he can run, pass 10 yards to a team mate, make successful tackles and head the ball then he will do.

I think clearly this kid wasn't first choice but that could be a blessing in disguise if he works out.
We desperately needed some power in midfield and this lad looks like he has 4 shredded wheat for breakfast.

Warren Stainrod

Wasn't fit to lace Simon Aspinall's boots

[Ron Manager]

Sylla eh. Surprise Surprise.

Somebody different to watch. Might be good at least we all hope so.

I'd suggest that Bannan doesn't get in his way in training.  Be like a freight train hitting a Nissan Micra parked on a level crossing.

[damon loves JT]

Hope he lasts longer than Berson .

Good old Bagic Berson.

[ktvillan]

Whilst our record with French players is about as successful as our record with Scottish Managers at least it would be a signing, a fresh face, and a bit of physical presence in a desperately lightweight midfield that gets trampled over far too easily.  And it might keep Bannan out of the team - I don't mind him as a player, despite his lack of pace and urgency, I just don't want him anywhere near our set pieces.

[Big Dick Edwards]

With any luck, we'll sign Charybdis as his central midfield partner today.

We're signing a Super-Villan?

[Mazrim]

Which is what should happen to all Nissan Micras.
At least until the law allow me to fit 20mm cannons to the front of my car.
