DT Posted 2 September, 2009 Share Posted 2 September, 2009 I think we made a mistake and were really after Papa Boupa Diop, but Pardew had one too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 2 September, 2009 Share Posted 2 September, 2009 Am sure he can handle L1 -half Senegal's team - Sonko, Henri Camara, Diagne-Faye, Diao- play for rough-and-tumble Stoke (maybe he got us confused with them). And there's also the skate-spitter lege El Hadji Diouf. All can mix it up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 2 September, 2009 Share Posted 2 September, 2009 According to Football Manager 2009, he's bloody quick and is a natural right winger, who can also be played on the left. You might need to zoom in on the ol' screeny And before you lambast me for relying on Football Manager to judge how good a player is, the chief scout of Chelsea has admitted to using the database to find young talent and check attributes of some players. So MEH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So depends if you agree with me on how good Saints players are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Weststand Posted 2 September, 2009 Share Posted 2 September, 2009 Well if this guy turns out as good as the rest of AP signings so far then it could just be the last piece of the jigsaw for us.

St Paul Posted 2 September, 2009 Share Posted 2 September, 2009 This was posted on 606 from a Sheff Weds fan. Papa waigo, is a great signing for you! I have seen this guy play many times as i follow fiorentina a few times a year. He plays like kanu, and can strike a play very clean, at times he may be lazy for league 1 football, but is a cultured footballer....having said that hes also played full back for fiorentina on a few occasions, one been against barca in a friendly last year. Wish we (SWFC) had signed him to be honest, as im sure he will easily cut it in your league and ours. After all hes played for a very good fiorentina side, and never looked out of place, his only problem is hes down the pecking order against 3 class forwards! Good luck on your come back guys, we always have a good trip to the saints when ever we play you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suspect everyone Posted 2 September, 2009 Share Posted 2 September, 2009 No guarantee that he'll settle or adapt to League One football, but if it does work out he could just be what the teams crying out for. No matter how successful his Saints career turns out to be you know he'll score at least one absolutely stonking goal, followed by an ace celebration involving back flips and/or dancing by the cornerflag. Bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a1ex2001 Posted 2 September, 2009 Share Posted 2 September, 2009 No mention of a work permit on the OS so I assume he has an Italian passport and we won't have to bother about such things, he has lived there 10 years so it seems likely. Potentially a quality signing and should definately offer the pace we've all been craving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowds Posted 2 September, 2009 Share Posted 2 September, 2009 Very pleased to see this signing now i wonder if he could persuade his mate Henri to come down here for a season or two.......... would be company and imo attractive to an unattached Camara no?

dellboypete Posted 2 September, 2009 Share Posted 2 September, 2009 Saints boss Alan Pardew said: "We wanted another creative player and he comes highly recommended." I suspect what scouts do is a brief search for good players who they then scout over two or three games do form there own opinion, rather than bidding for a player just based on your recommendation I'm assuming from alan pardew's comment above that our previously non-existent scouting system haven't actually seen him play yet? but that he came highly recommended by some money grabbing agents??

Colinjb Posted 2 September, 2009 Share Posted 2 September, 2009 Using the data from the FM 2008 database, he lines up as follows: Potential: 148/200 Technical Attributes (all of the following are out of 20) Corners: 7 Crossing: 11 Dribbling: 12 Finishing: 15 First Touch: 11 Free Kicks: 4 Heading: 11 Long Shots: 9 Long Throws: 4 Marking: 8 Passing: 10 Penalty taking: 12 Tackling: 8 Technique: 9 Mental Attributes Aggresion: 14 Anticipation: 10 Bravery: 15 Composure: 15 Concentration: 11 Creativity: 8 Decisions: 12 Determination: 18 Flair: 13 Influence: 7 Off the Ball: 15 Positioning: 11 Teamwork: 14 Work Rate: 15 Physical Attributes (The best bit) Acceleration: 19!! Agility: 13 Balance: 5 Jumping: 8 Natural Fitness: 12 Pace: 19 !! Stamina: 19!! Strength: 9 So, he may get pushed off the ball but he is lightening quick, can position himself well and can link well with his team mates, oh and he is a very effective finisher!!!!!
