Mucking around in the Segunda, he'll be gone in a year or two.

We've become something of a passport agency for 2nd tier south American talent - Wellington, Galindo, Pedro, Martinez, Denilson, Campbell...

Anyway, Sanogo belongs in the 'random youngsters' thread we always seem to do. He's only got his own thread cos we're desperate!

So whats the over/under on total goals for this guy? 5? 10? I'd say over 5. Under 10.

1-3 then, next season - Carling Cup only.

More likely (hopefully) he gets loaned out though. So actually, 0.

Flopped in the Segunda, I believe, back in Bolivia now

Imminent signing Sanogo scored for the French U20s yesterday - haven't seen it but apparently his first touch was sublime


Did well to control that ball.

Good touch, with his left foot too.

He big, still going to fill out more too!

I read about that touch being "sublime" not sure about that. He kills the ball well then reacts to where it is quickly.

'Sublime' is one of those football commentary words that doesn't really mean anything anymore. Like 'aplomb'.

Great turn though. I love a forward who can spin and hit the ball like that.

Unimpressive.

I can do that.

Nice finish, but I was expecting something better tbh.

And my own personal favourite: "World Class".

I love "slalom". Because it usually means a really nice run occurred.

Wondered what football commentator used that word.

Probably a commentator for Fox Sports or something.

A "slamloming run" is a pretty standard term for commentators.

Tbf I learnt alot of terms from football commentary, quite refreshing at times.

Commentators used to use it for Shava in the days when he could actually run

I used to slalom my way through fils on the dancefloor to get ma drink on at the bar
