stevy777_x Posted 5 June, 2019 Share Posted 5 June, 2019 Good fee, very happy to see we are not paying over the odds. We are adding some much needed pace in the side too. Great stuff Is that a pathetic offer too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGalpin Posted 5 June, 2019 Share Posted 5 June, 2019 IIRC, Sven Claes was the guy who reported Alderweireld to Saints and then subsequently to Spurs. So he's worth listening to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 5 June, 2019 Share Posted 5 June, 2019 We’ve swung and missed on so many transfers of late that it’s hard to get excited anymore. But like the thinking behind the signing and think this is only the start of RH’s efforts to inject more pace and directness into the side.

If he has pace and nothing else then he's one up on Moi already. I'll hold back on the excitement but we badly need some pace up front (from someone who's not Shane Long).

TWar Posted 5 June, 2019 Share Posted 5 June, 2019 It'll be a signing to move to a 4222 with redders and a new striker up top and djenepo and JWP in the 2 behind. Probably with Armstrong boufal and maybe lookman providing competition for the 2 behind and obafemi and ings providing competition for the front lads.

I reckon Ings will turn out to be THE new striker Nor the £25m it would cost to bring in Lookman. If we were going to sign a new wide forward to provide cover, it would likely be the Austrian lad.

TWar Posted 5 June, 2019 Share Posted 5 June, 2019 Maybe, I imagine the new guy will be Adams and they will compete for the position. Redmond will be up top for me though as support striker, we have far too many people for the two behind for redmond to be there Sent from my G3311 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moi's YouTube video, last summer, shows him banging in goals left right and centre in a lesser league. I've become a bit jaded with our signings last couple of seasons so I'll just wait and watch him in the flesh before I get excited.

mrfahaji Posted 5 June, 2019 Share Posted 5 June, 2019 Spoke to some Belgian friends about him recently (well actually I was mainly asking about Maehle because one of them is a Genk fan), but they sent me this link about Djenepo which isn't in English but the video shows some of his play. https://sporza.be/nl/2019/04/01/degryse-met-djenepo-heeft-standard-misschien-de-edmilson-van-v/ A few extra bits, either opinion from the Belgians or quotes from the article: "oh he is talented. He is described as a playful or even slightly crazy player but at the same time a really good guy" "at the end they say in the past year they have worked very hard on making him look around him while he's on the ball, because he used to stare into the ground too much. but they say they're now quite happy about his vision of the game, while still pulling off good dribbles" "he's more of an attacking midfielder or winger" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Munster Posted 5 June, 2019 Share Posted 5 June, 2019 Just to be clear, i don't think anyone thought Carillo looked promising at any point. Indeed. Apart from the Clown and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
