Indeed. Meh, he was 7 at Newcastle, so perhaps he likes the 'winger' numbers.or 6
Enner Valencia - the soggy biscuit of our Sissoko transfer menage a trois.At least we are not the ones who signed Enner Valencia
I think that's why Poch is so interested in him. If we play him out wide, he can really press the wing unlike someone like Eriksen. He offers us another option in the middle too and can actually drive forward and force defenders to move out of position which has been a huge problem without Dembele.Is he definitely going to play CM do we reckon?
Or is his versatility gonna dictate that he plays in different positions as and when it's needed?
Dembele's suspension is nearly up so I think (hope) he won't be needed there an awful lot.
Fuck off you embarrassment....hopefully can start the important matches at right AM instead of Lamela...

We haven't purchased someone to be better than Dembele but as cover. Someone who as the above shows created more chances than many 'exceptional' players in the League last season, albeit in a very poor team (although 40 of those chances may have come against us in THAT game).
Do I think he's a mercenary? Yes.
Since been in England, he's been managed by Pardew, Carver, McClaren - given a reach coach he might well perform at a much higher level than we've generally seen with Newcastle.
He's been picked for France routinely for players who are viewed in a more favourable light.
He's got talent, pace, power - as cover for Dembele he could prove VERY useful. After giving some thought to some of the stuff posted earlier when are interest was first revealed I'm actually really pleased this one went through.
lol no...hopefully can start the important matches at right AM instead of Lamela...
