Window Cleaner Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 A name I've not seen before N'Lundula, academy lad perhaps, surely not Gael N'Lundulu who was at PSG at one time, thought he was wasting away down at Skate just now.
Window Cleaner Posted 18 January, 2011 Author Posted 18 January, 2011 Lets hope so! not spelt the same though, depends if twitter get it wrong from time to time. Remember this kid at an U11s tournament when he was at PSG, won games all by himself, mind you he was about a foot taller and 15 kilos heavier than all the others. Probably not the same though.
FMPR Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Got released by us in the summer, to my amazement. Ready made replacement for Ox imo if his head is sorted out
Chez Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 A name I've not seen before N'Lundula, academy lad perhaps, surely not Gael N'Lundulu who was at PSG at one time, thought he was wasting away down at Skate just now. Pompey paid up his contract. He was a huge prospect, so very strange.
St.Patrik Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Seems like some big clubs where after him in 2008 - and the chosed P**mpey ??? http://www.portsmouth.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=110338
SuperMikey Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 I'd have him here like a shot, even if he was a Skate. Very good prospect for the future.
buctootim Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Seems like some big clubs where after him in 2008 - and the chosed P**mpey ??? http://www.portsmouth.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=110338 Perhaps they were the only ones able to offer him tax free wages.

supersonic Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 are we even sure it's the ex-Pompey player and not someone with the name N'Lundula??
Ken Tone Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Perhaps they were the only ones able to offer him tax free wages. Sounds like it! FA Cup winners Portsmouth have reportedly beaten Premier League rivals Manchester City, Arsenal and Everton to the signature of Paris St Germain's teenage striker, Gael N'Lundulu. May 21, 2008 12:55:15 PM [/url] PSG's highly-rated 16-year-old forward, Gael N'Lundulu, has chosen to join Portsmouth, according to a report in the French press. He has apparently rejected the option of staying in Paris because of the money being offered. N'Lundulu is said to have wanted a professional contract, but instead was offered a trainee contract by Paris St Germain. "He has turned down our offer of a trainee contract," Bertrand Reuzeau, head of youth football at PSG, told French newspaper Le Parisien."We were not prepared to do more for a young lad who is yet to prove himself. It was a financial choice."
farawaysaint Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 So we have Gael N'lundula playing for our U21s now? Anybody care to enlighten me?
St.Patrik Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Can someone with a Twitter thing ask on the OS-Twitter that are updating this game if this bloke is on trial or not?
Ken Tone Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Got released by us in the summer, to my amazement. Ready made replacement for Ox imo if his head is sorted out So what's he been doing since? No club at all? Bit of a come down from prospect at PSG, wanted by big clubs, to nothing. (NB You have no idea how hard it was not to put a pompey insult in that last sentence! Hope you appreciate the effort. )
SaintNeil90 Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 The guy with us is spelt N'Lundula... the one at Pompey is called N'Lundulu...
St.Patrik Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Must be a spelling error somewhere? Ive tried to Google N'Lundula and Google suggest N'Lundulu... The guy with us is spelt N'Lundula... the one at Pompey is called N'Lundulu...
FMPR Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 So what's he been doing since? No club at all? Bit of a come down from prospect at PSG, wanted by big clubs, to nothing. (NB You have no idea how hard it was not to put a pompey insult in that last sentence! Hope you appreciate the effort. ) No idea, but he was on £3,000 a week at 17 so I doubt hes short of money. As I said earlier if you can get his head right you have a ready made replacement for Ox
trousers Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Half time: 1 - 1 Saints scorer: Doble Would like to see him get a look in on the first team sometime soon

Ken Tone Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 The guy with us is spelt N'Lundula... the one at Pompey is called N'Lundulu... Do you honestly believe that someone from Saints putting a name of a triallist on twitter will be that accurate with spelling a foreign name? Half our own fans still seem to think our manager's name is Atkins. You'll be telling us next that you use the definitive Dave Merrington guide to the pronounciation of footballers' names. In all fairness (copyright DM!) it could be that there is also a N'Lundula as well as a N'Lundulu in English football, but it brings up nothing on google.

PS in fact the only link for N'Lundula from google is to a PSG fans forum where one of them has spelt N'Lundulu's name with an 'a'. J'ai lu l'article sur N'Lundula sur "espoirs du foot" et lui a déjà passé pro c'est trés bien ! També aussi chez nous, et alors le Kebano est-ce qu'il est encore à Paris ? ..which I think means something like I read an article about N'L as one of the hopes of football , and he's already signed a pro contract, then goes on about other players.
fish fingers Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 N'Lundula subbed at half time He's that good, only needed 45 mins to impress.
doddisalegend Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Half time: 1 - 1 Saints scorer: Doble Would like to see him get a look in on the first team sometime soon No chance with the extra six strikers we need to bring in as cover this transfer window.
doddisalegend Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 You're deluded if you think we'll get promoted with only six backups. What if they all got injured? Sh it I hadn't thought of that better buy another twelve to be on the safe side..................
Ken Tone Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 You people just don't get the strategy do you? We should simply buy the top scorer from every other team in the division. Not only would that give us extra 23 squad members we need to be safe, but we'd be weakening the opposition at the same time. It was after all pretty much the strategy we started last season .... Lambert, Barnard, Puncheon were all their club's top scorer weren't they?
Matthew Le God Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Come and join us FMPR. Step away from the darkside. You'll have much more fun supporting Saints. But then he'd want my job. Two into one just doesn't go.
Window Cleaner Posted 18 January, 2011 Author Posted 18 January, 2011 Anyway, any confirmation on the french lad? not as yet no,but I don't doubt that it was him, perhaps a instead of u was kind of deliberate. Other than than the twitterer might have got confused with Peguy Luyindula(who is available for a big wodge of money).
Hatch Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 anyways, about time he had a song.. who is going to start?.................
Saint_Ash Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Have we got a back up for him in case he gets injured?
notnowcato Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 anyways, about time he had a song.. who is going to start?................. Gimme an "N" Gimme an apostrophe Gimme an "L" Oh f*** it
Colinjb Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 To the tune of 'Tom Hark' N'Dululu ....... A silly name N'Dululu ....... Your skills are insane N'Dululu ....... Best said when drunk N'Dululu ....... A bigger scrabble score then 'funk'
Window Cleaner Posted 18 January, 2011 Author Posted 18 January, 2011 OS still insisting on calling him Gael Nlundula but it's the same bloke. Must be about 18/19 I guess, technically perfect,sharp in front of goal (or he was all that when he was at PSG) headstrong, but then aren't they all at that age,Anelka set a precedent at PSG and now they all want to go down that road.
Matthew Le God Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 I don't think anyone has noticed yet that Kieran Cadogan played for Crystal Palace in this match. A player the press have linked with Saints. Was it a friendly set up to decide if he is worth buying along with potentially signing N'Lundulu?
Saint Mikey Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 N'Dululu ....... A bigger scrabble score then 'funk' Nope. N'Dululu = 8pts Funk = 11pts :-)
david in sweden Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 No chance with the extra six strikers we need to bring in as cover this transfer window. ..think one 17 year old is enough in the team at present.
trousers Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 So much for promoting home grown talent through the ranks then....? (apart from the 23 we already have over the last 16 years of course - he said in a thinly veiled attempt at making up stats)
Thedelldays Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 So much for promting home grown talent through the ranks then....? they can be from other countries you know
trousers Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 they can be from other countries you know This is true. I must remember to activate both of my brain cells before coming on here sometimes :-)
Give it to Ron Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 So much for promting home grown talent through the ranks then....? (apart from the 23 we already have over the last 16 years of course - he said in a thinly veiled attempt at making up stats) So Gobern, Doble, Ward-Prowse, OC all being promoted to the squad via ranks this season isn't enough??
Window Cleaner Posted 18 January, 2011 Author Posted 18 January, 2011 So Gobern, Doble, Ward-Prowse, OC all being promoted to the squad via ranks this season isn't enough?? Anyway Gael is only a trialist as far as I know.

Give it to Ron Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Anyway Gael is only a trialist as far as I know. Exactly so there is no risk....although I hope he does a bit better than our other young French stars. Folly, Baseya, Griffit all who offered a lot but didnt progress here as they should have. I was disappointed when Cedric left as he was just starting to show progress going from Bambi on ice to being a real handful up front.
JRM Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 is this kid worth getting excited about? how many games has he actually played in his career? Did he ever get in Pompey's team? If he is any good surely he would have been snapped up as soon as he left the skates?

I was disappointed when Cedric left as he was just starting to show progress going from Bambi on ice to being a real handful up front. I heard he was a bit of a handful on the disciplinary front as well, didn't get very far at Lille either, don't know what he's doing nowadays. In fact he's just across the channel at Le Havre (D2) first team regular apparently. Edited 18 January, 2011 by Window Cleaner
Gingeletiss Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 This is true. I must remember to activate both of my brain cells before coming on here sometimes :-) One of twins then?
trousers Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 One of twins then? Bugger....that's me outed at long last....
saintbletch Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Perhaps they were the only ones able to offer him tax free wages. Plus image rights.
