Amadou Soumah? Reims striker... 18 years old

Apparently Bilel is a distance cousin on his father's side .............. what could possibly go wrong .............



(Just for complete clarity, the above statement is not true and is (most likely) a poor and sub-standard attempt at humour based on drawing a comparison between the last unknown Frenchman at the club (even if he was then found to be Tunisian) and the latest arrival).

So we have a mightily impressive 18 year old French striker named Amadou on trial. PB very impressed so far.
Given the claimed love of young exceptionally malnourished strikers on here I am somewhat surprised at the apparent, and inexplicable, lack of excitement..

If he was the guy trialling in the Lowestoft gme, he was the stand out player. Really quick and grew into the game well. I don't know if he'd be ready for 1st team duties yet, but if I was an SUFC under 21 player I'd want him leading the line. He worked his knackers off, showed great pace and didn't stop making runs. He was doing doggies up front, but really looked like he knew what he was doing...think Jamar Loza with direction.

I'd be trying to sign him on that performance, if nothing else to improve the U21 team.

nb - if he wasn't the guy trialling last night, then he can f*** off, as I've just wasted 5 minutes typing a pointless message.

the French striker was quite impressive very speedy and a good target man .Missed a couple of sitters but won most things in the air . Worth another look in my view .

Agree with this, though I think you're doing him a dis-service, I think it was Rene Batlokwa that missed the sitters. IIRC the number 9 created the chances.

Sorry Norwich shrimper yes you was correct And I stand corrected .The young French lad stood head and shoulders above the rest .And is worth another look .If he plays as well again maybe Phil could offer him at least a years contract .

And a good one to start with Jasrod. We have been lucky with ex Reading boys before, so who knows?

More to the point,Paul McShane is an ex-Baggie....guaranteed class? I give you Daniels,Mkwandire,Worrall,Fortune',Cox !!!!!

Ah but then there's Frank Skinner, Lenny Henry and the world class berk that is Adrian Chiles, not to mention any item of 1990s clothing. So I'm afraid being baggy isn't in itself a guarantee of class or quality.

Been mentioned here before , but looks like Harry Forrester is one of the three

[RHB]

No it definitely was Hi Di Hi. It was Ian McShane in Lovejoy.

 

[Crowstone Crevette]

No it definitely was Hi Di Hi. It was Ian McShane in Lovejoy.

Well if it was he died 4 years ago. :thumbdown::facepalm:

Well that's as maybe, but we've made worse signings.

 

[kentblues]

So looks like we are offering a deal to a young, very hungry (but worryingly well nourished) french 19 year old who speaks no english, is very quick, lively and scored for fun at junior level...could be a spot of good fortune all round

 

[kentblues]

...or will need to be as without MAF no-one will understand the offer PB is about to put to him..

 

[Shrimper]

Common sense.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Common sense.

Or a bit of kidology with the agent and player. That is, you (Forrester) have our offer and that is all we can do. Now decide - either sign or go and do some logging elsewhere.
