Broxi 11,586 Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 Kouame looks terrible in his YouTube videos. Clumsy touch and no composure when finishing. Spending £7m on him sounds like a horrible idea. The Godfather, graeme_4 and esquire8 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also that line was just trotted out cos we get lucky with Patterson and Bassey. And to some extent Aribo. I want players in that will win us the league first and foremost then we can worry about trading models down the line. Hi Ross, how is Nottingham?

BlueSuedeSambas 54,269 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Really unsure about this. Butland never really reached his potential, he’s apparently got a howler in him and Stoke fans seem to hate him. Expected is to sign a number two or three from England who hasn’t played much over the past few years, but thought it would maybe be somebody with a bit of a better career behind them.

BlueSuedeSambas 54,269 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Kouamé seems to have a bit of versatility about him and I imagine he’s being signed for his overall game rather than his goal scoring ability, but that’s utter madness at a club like ours. If you are spending 7 million on a centre forward they have to score goals at at least a rate of 1 in 2. Nobody in our support is fully getting behind a striker who grafts like fuck but doesn’t really score at that price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If most get 15+assists it's a solid return but for 7m I'm wanting someone who simply abuses defences on a weekly basis Fwiw, Flo was 1 in 2 (43 in 87) and is widely branded a flop here Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally don't if they are contributing in other areas (assists etc). But at that level of spend - the second most expensive CF to play in Scotland - I'm expecting someone who is levels above the league and in all honesty will probably only be here a relatively short time because they are too good for Scottish football.

NI 918 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Was talking about him few days ago on the other thread about Beale and transfers, I'm happy with that. Couple of free deals to let the money in the bank to bring first team players is the perfect way to operate this summer I think. Only thing is, they need to be first team ready (improve the XI) and mostly, no injury prone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
