I have always liked this guy. I was banging on about him last year. I real viable option on the left. Impresses me every time I see him.
Always rated him, and was sad to see him joining Newcastle on a bargain from Le Havre. The same Club as Lassana Diarra joined from.
The same with N'Zogbia as Lita. You are right that they did not play many games for Le Havre and Chelsea, but when you see players at a young age with that talent, you will never be in doubt. Being in the transfer market is a risk, but it is more risky to wait and buy at a later stage. You will always lose if you do not take a chance. I am a fan of taking a chance on players if you see the right attributes in them. If you take a look at Scoutingmanagement's trackrecords, we have had a right strategy.
But he never played for Le Havre. How could you have rated him sufficiently to be sad to see him leave? Le Havre were in Ligue 2 when he was there! Do you watch the youth sides of second division Frnech teams? Or did you catch him in either of his 2 sub appearances for France U16s? You said the same about Leroy Lita when he was at Chelsea, but likewise he never even played agame for them. How can you possibly have rated players like this?
Haha, busted.'Not many' in this case equating to a big fat zero as first-team appearances are concerned. So how did you manage to 'see' the right attributes in them?
N´Zogbia is a skilful player. But every toon fan I know (both of them) predict a riot if they ever sold him to us.
Anything that upsets the "fabulous" toon army is ok with me.:grin:
