Wasn't Julien Laurens the guy saying we'd sign about four players in one window, and we didn't sign any?

He was the guy who swore on his life we'd already signed M'Vila last summer.

He looks a right handful in that youtube clip. Maybe an Adebayor that can stay onside?

goon

How quick is he?

If so has a bit of pace then he's perfect physically.

Burnwinter

He does look like Ade before a bit of muscle goes on. If he can stay fit surely he's a good investment at least, but I'm assuming he's not all we're going for.

This is old news, no? I heard about us being in serious talks with Sanogo a few weeks ago - things must be close to being finalized.

Good signing on a free. Nothing to lose.

JazzG

If Diaby leaves he will at least make sure we get our moneys worth from the medical team as well! 😉

Burnwinter

I hope he isn't going to continue his crocky ways. Totally fucking over having hapless crocks on the fringes of the first XI. 🙁

Mirth

This better not be another bargain bin buy. Although, he was suppose to be a big talent before his injury.

Macca

That music on the video captain posted is terrible. Seems to be acrobatic, I don't suppose we'll see him getting minutes for us in the league for at least the next two years.

DialSquare

Mixed feelings about this one, mainly due to his injuries.

But from having a quick read it is clear he has bags of potential. Hopefully our coaches can harness it here, and with a bit of luck he can make a decent impact. For a free it appears worth the punt.

Looks a potential great option to have as 3rd choice CF.

Jovetic, Giroud, Sanogo?

Its not bad - could and probably should be better for a team of our supposed ambitions but I can live with it. It's certainly better than just Giroud!

From the mirror article:

Sanogo is an impressive physical specimen, with his size and imposing strength he also brings speed and an electric quickness that can terrify defenders. Still to fully develop he is already very athletic, similar to Aston Villa’s Christian Benteke.

The warning signs are clear to see, in three years he only managed seven starts in Ligue 1.

However the positives are also as clear, when fit this season he has scored nine goals in seven starts.

Physical striker with goalscoring potential, and an awful injury record...

Seems like an excellent signing and prospect though, so long as he's 3rd choice, we still have to sign a starting striker.

y va marquer

This must surely spell the end of the line for Chamakh.
Seems fitting that we should replace him with someone else on a free.
Not much else to say on this apart from wondering if this means we're not going to sign any other striker.
He'd better not be a wreck of injuries.

Says he's like some kind of Giroud, Henry, Benteke, Sagna and Diaby mash up.

Lol.

That's our strikers position sorted for next season then. Hopefully we'll have more exciting signings in other areas.
