Gift Orban

Yes, a headline writer's dream.
But a fascinating tale of a young attacking player being tenuously linked with us following insane scoring output.

I watched this over the weekend and was caught up by the unlikely nature of his story.

Think the headline is a bit over the top, he may be a very good prospect but his goals have been in Norwegian and Belgium football. He could be a diamond in the rough and I'm sure al the top clubs in Europe have had a look based on the figures. Interesting that he doesn't appear to have represented Nigeria at any level, they tend to get their players in young.

The videos remind me a bit of that Daka who went to Leicester and disappeared. It's a bit of a risk when players look so good, but in pretty weak leagues

But they are doing things other people aren’t, you send a top talent to one of them leagues and you expect them to rip it up, when someone from that league does the same thing they are automatically put down due to the league they are in.

I can see exactly that sort of thing appealing to Ange and resonating.
He may want to represent Togo.

Orbanfemi Martins

He was with Inter when 17, this boy is 4 years older.

Do we need another attacker? We already have 7, plus Porro, for 3 spots.

Might he be one to loan back out for a while and develop to succeed Son at some point?

We won't be buying another attacker.

Close the thread then?

 

[Bedfordspurs]

This guy would be a great gamble if we can get him the right level of games
reminds me a lot of Defoe

I never said that, was just replying to your point. If people want to speculate or enjoy looking at the talent that out there, all props to them

I certainly enjoyed that video. Something romantic about the rapid rise to prominence from such obscurity.

Alex Scott?

Alex Scott?

Think we'd need to bin both Hojbjerg and Lo Celso to make that possible

So getting rid of 2 International players with one being an established premier league player for a championship player?

We've already got 5 CMs better, and the other two have flattered to deceive for 3/4 years now

TBF
One is a DM who may struggle with Ange ball, and is very sellable.
the leather has come in back form a loan and is standing out
Would be weird moves if we don’t get very good money
Which we won’t as the clubs that would want them, won’t pay it

But Obafemi Martins was not really 17

So you are saying Nigeria lies about the age of their players or he's confused about his date of birth? Surely to gain an american green card he had to have some proof?
