Few comments I picked up on from Spurs forum.....

 

If nonsense then phew....

 

For example

 

 

http://www.thefightingcock.co.uk/forum/threads/summer-2016-transfer-window-thread.15210/page-420

 

 

Also this article - http://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2015/the-darker-side-of-sofiane-boufal/

 

- forcibly preventing Tallo from taking the spot-kick.

- Boufal appeared selfish

- manager Hervé Renard was forced to separate Sofiane Boufal and Junior Tallo

- L’Équipe reported a training ground incident between central defender Renato Civelli and Sofiane Boufal

- his self-centred attitude off the pitch is hurting LOSC’s results on it.

- manager asking Boufal "do you care"

And more http://m.lavoixdunord.fr/sports/foot-losc-une-altercation-entre-boufal-et-civelli-a-ia182b204n3132958

 

Highly unlikely that there is any truth to these rumours, given he worked so intensely with Angers management in his youth...

A la Bryan Robson and Big Ron.

I would love to see it!

 

I remember that. Wasn't Robbo sporting the classic bubble perm? Must-have do for any aspirational player at the time...

How do you compare Boufal with Mane?

 

Someone posted that he is as good as Mane but much better technically...which seems to be setting the guy up for a fall if I'm honest. I know it's human nature but I think fans are a bit obsessed about comparing new signings to players that have left rather than just giving the new player a bit of time to show what he can (or cannot) do.

Not as speedy as Mane but Boufal is more technical.

Might struggle initially with physicality of the league but in time will be fantastic.

Similar player in style to Mahrez?

 

Who would be the best comparison with a well known player?

Just wondering how rigorous a medical is on a player that's recovering from an injury?

 

There are over three hundred (300) joints in the human body, and he has injured one. Pretty sure that the medical will be more rigorous than looking at just that one joint. To be honest I'm not even sure why people on this forum are worrying about the clunext not beingue rigorous in medicals before spending 22 million. Do you actually think about what you post before you click send? I'm fairly sure the boars aren't saying 'looks good on YouTube.. let's get him on board'

The local Lille paper doesn't say he's flying, chances are it's Eurostar or car. He's coming both for medical and contract finalisation, according to this link: http://www.lavoixdunord.fr/sports/foot-losc-sofiane-boufal-a-southampton-samedi-ia182b204n3698850

 

Ugh oh ! - if he doesn't like flying:scared: .......how is he going to get to Milan and Prague ....a limo? .....and as for the trip to Beersheba ...forget it !

Jeez...Difficult to fly direct from Lille to London / Southampton so Eurostar quickest.

You could be right he is an Arab and plays for an Arab nation so could be interesting although he holds French nationality

But the joint he damaged is in the top 5 of those 300.

The medical is to ensure no long term deteriorating damage in order to protect the asset financially and make sure he can be insured against career threatening injuries it is not to prove his current fitness!

 

If the injury is not career threatening it is not an issue

With this lad on the pitch to provide a bit more of a threat we will start winning again. Let's hope we get the deal over the line and get him fit as soon as possible.
