Clever Fox Posted 6 January 2023 Share Posted 6 January 2023 He certainly ticks a lot of boxes. Has a Physical presence and Quick, Strong can go left or right with room for improvement. Given his age he's exactly the type we should be tracking. Modest Fee and a modest Salary to start with. Yes a lot to like about this lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudFox Posted 6 January 2023 Share Posted 6 January 2023 Coincidentally there is a great podcast out today from Scouted Football on Lorient, where Ouattare and La Fee play. Both are discussed as up-and-coming talents, with a bit of background about each too. Worth a listen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes ignore him for 12 months, play him in lesser cup games and then train him to inevitable injury - the Brendan Way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren’t currently in a position to spend that kind of money. So we need to try and find a hidden gem. You need to recalibrate your compass. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jordan Posted 6 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 6 January 2023 I’m really perplexed at these comments about Rodgers knocking the talent out of his players. Iheanacho has been the only attacker that has gotten the short end of the stick from Rodgers, but he wasn’t a Rodgers signing. He’s given Ayoze every chance to succeed. Harvey Barnes really flourished when Rodgers took over, and we can’t let Barnes’ cold form make us forget he’s had plenty of long streaks where he’s been torrid. Patson Daka has probably come up to be the #1 striker on our depth chart now. And let’s not forget about how James Maddison has flourished over the past few seasons. The only other attacking players Rodgers has signed have been loan wingers. Brendan Rodgers isn’t gonna sign a right winger on a permanent deal with the intention to be a starter and not try to get the very best out of him. If we’re going to use this thread to knock Rodgers, at least say something that’s actually reasonable, like he’s going to mismanage Outtara’s fitness and mess his knee up or something. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, at least we know we're willing to spend £15-20m on a RW. I've a list of wingers we could get for that, WE'RE IN BUSINESS. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Renard Posted 7 January 2023 Share Posted 7 January 2023 (edited) I've seen him play, he's a bit rough around the edges but he's one of those that could go either way. £15-20 million is a gamble though, he loses the ball too much for my liking, and in the prem where it is much faster than ligue 1, it could be a problem. I'd much prefer us to spend it on Enzo le Fée, but an RW is more important for us right now.. Edited 7 January 2023 by Le Renard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a list we could get for around 2 million including salary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 7 January 2023 Share Posted 7 January 2023 Surely their resolve might weaken knowing he's out of contract in 2024? It doesn't seem a particularly low ball offer from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert09 Posted 7 January 2023 Share Posted 7 January 2023 (edited) just sounds like the club is postering for more money. This one will likely drag on until the end of the window unfortunately Edited 7 January 2023 by Lambert09 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolo Barella Posted 7 January 2023 Share Posted 7 January 2023 One thing I really like about him is how hard-working he seems to be in defense. Would love a RW who can let Castagne/Ricardo bomb forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently we don’t do that enough because barnes is pretty lazy and madders lacks the legs to do it consistently for 90 mins. Him and Daka pushing a back line would be really useful. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree but I don't think we're going to get the finished article for that price, we seemingly aren't interested in Tsygankov so we will have to take a calculated risk but they are the exact signings that got us to ride the wave of success we've had for several years. His pace and ability to shoot accurately off both feet will be a huge weapon and we need that out on the right, Barnes can do the same which not that many can and if we have that from both wings then it will leave the opposition so exposed. They would compliment each other and the lack of technical skill might work in our favour in that regard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 7 January 2023 Share Posted 7 January 2023 Find the lack of interest in tsyganjov odd. Not just by us, but by many. Very odd. There seems no obvious to discount him, but many seem to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as if he's had a period of poor form or injuries etc. Surely he can't be punished for not playing for a while because there's a war going on??

Hasn't stopped many players being recruited from there, I think it's probably the league as you say and that he's Ukranian. The top overseas players in the Ukraine league are highly sought after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
