The9 Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 Bloody hell, I've always been cynical about YouTube videos, but he's got pace, can beat people, has a couple of tricks, chops a ball back across the outside of his foot with a sharp change of direction, looks good as a right winger AND cutting in Lallana-style from the left, can deliver the kind of crosses Lambert would love, and also has a lovely little disguised through ball which I can't see anyone other than Forte running onto. Based on this I'd be inclined to think Chamberlain is leaving, but it could be the Puncheon replacement. He's more of an out and out winger Chambo-style though, and he is right footed. Anyway, based on the one YouTube video, well chuffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 Feel my expectation rise... June, 11th. Signed Cork : 8th. Signed De Ridder : I now think we will be challenging for the Play-Offs. If Jemal signs I'm going for 4th place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 if that youtube video is fair reflection, he has two thing wingers sometimes lack - tenacity and decent final ball - Lambert would love some of those crosses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintandy666 Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 Just looking at the old FM stats. Looks a decent buy, meant to be extremely fast which is what you want for an attacking midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stattmeister Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 I tell you what, Heskey would do a cracking job in the Championship....! One swallow doesn't make a summer, but The Knight looks OK eh? I quite like the idea that NA will not have anyone that doesn't fit on "the team bus", and his age etc. seems to suggest he looks like he fits our profile of young/talented/grow with the club remit. Given the discussion about the price, I suspect he would've been cheaper than someone like Pilkington given the inflated prices of British talent. Interested to see if our Young Boy rumour has legs now too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 According to this article, his manager thought that they might have expected to keep him and there is mention of a couple of the other top Dutch clubs being interested in him, but they thought that they might not succeed in signing him. No mention of us at all, so perhaps as much a surprise to their fans as it was to us. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11906_7017924,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BARCELONASAINT Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 having watched his youtube clips the lad looks very talented, very quick feet, good passer, good crosser and a decent shot on him.......if he lives up to these clips then all praise to NC and NA for getting him to sign.

Matthew Le God Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 ..on similar evidence though we once signed Delgado,so you can understand those being just be a little cautious The problem with Agustin Delgado wasn't his ability, he was clearly a very good player. For example he was the top goal scorer in the 2002 South American World Cup qualifying campaign. It was his attitude and injury problems that made his stay at Saints a nightmare.

saint1977 Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 Looks like a super signing and exactly what we needed - Bailey, if you are online at the moment, did you know about this? You were saying about how you'd really like to see a pacy winger added and we have one, a good one at that. I still think Forte is a better impact option off the bench than people give him credit for. Looks like Ox-C is going but I wondered if he'd go up front with Lambert if he hadn't and it could be Ox-C's departure triggers another striker going. Number 5 vacant suggests a centre half as well. Hope this gets more through the gate for tommorrow, exciting times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 22 July, 2011 Share Posted 22 July, 2011 looking at you tube video I suspect he could be a luxury player in that he wont track back too much. So would be ideal at sms when oppo look to get men behind the ball. Away game could be more of a risk depending on how attack minded the opposition are. With his pace could be a great player late on in games though. I reckon he is just what we need. Lambert will be very pleased judging by the crosses ont he you tube video.
