jonathan Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 http://www.bwfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Gener...1352605,00.html Excellent news! Its about time we had a new signing. This offsets the loss of Diouf a little bit. He seems to have a very good record both in Holland and in the Spanish League. He scored 26 goals in 68 games for Sparta (including 22 in one season!) and last season got into double figures for Levante who were a struggling team. He seems to have the right character as he went on playing for 9 months without payment (i very much doubt Diouf would do that!) George Boateng said the other day that he has all the attributes to be a success in this league as he is big, powerful, strong and quick. Exactly th kind of player we need. Now if we can get harper then we just need one striker + at least 1 CB and we should have a better season that the last one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't pass judgement though as I have never seen him play. Let's just hope he's a player who can get into double figures with league goals and he will be a good aquisition.

jonathan Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Which means 4 in the other season. I can't pass judgement though as I have never seen him play. Let's just hope he's a player who can get into double figures with league goals and he will be a good aquisition. This is his career stats record. He has played regularly the past 6 seasons and in the last 5 has played at least 32 in each which shows he has good pdigree and doesn't get injured. His stats of 55 goals in 212 appearances is also pretty impressive. For a player who plays more on the right wing or attacking midfielder rather than a striker a 1 in 4 record in the top flight of the spanish league is pretty good. For a free transfer this has to be one of the best ones we've had in a while. He was also interesting Boro and West Brom so i'm glad we've got him. If we seel Diouf then we can use all that money to go on another player. Also i think Dioufs wage packet was much bigger than Riga will be getting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worsley White #1 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I also can not pass judgement as i have never seen him play, dont want to look at you tube either as that made Braaten look good... Lets hope Meggs has signed a decent striker here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter superjohnmcginlay Posted July 28, 2008 Site Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2008 Diouf wanted out Megson targeted someone to replace him, the day Diouf is having a medical and prob will sign for the Mackems we have a replacement lined up, to me thats good planning hope this guy gives that attacking edge that Diouf was capable of when he wanted to do so.

Sweep Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I must admit, Megson does seem to go about his business a lot more quietly than Allardyve ever did, which is a good thing I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a shite footballer though! the inference was that he was impressive as a footballer, not as an olympic 100metre sprinter. you knew exactly what i meant you're just being mischevious aren't you?
