Abdul Fatawu Signs

[pmcla26]

I think this allows Wanya to go back to being back-up to Mavididi on the left, which is good news as he looks better on that side IMO.

I don't know, but he already has 14 appearances for Ghana!

But has anyone coined a terrible nickname yet? With Ian Nacho possibly leaving and Timmy Chestnuts out the door, we'll be seriously lacking in the key cringe positions.

 

 

 

Let's be honest, he's gonna be Fatteh isn't he 

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

From that interview. I'm still sitting on the fence as to whether he is happy to be here or not

€17m option should we not go up, and mandatory €17m if we get promoted

Not sure I’m happy with that, unless it’s with a minimum amount say 15+ appearances.  If he gets injured all season surely we don’t have to buy him…

wowsers- £17m- thats a slightly different take to me thinking he will be an option as sub and 3rd choice at best- thats proper money - he better not be poo

Welcome Abdul! The more wingers the better. So many of our goals this season have come from wingers creating the chances or scoring goals themselves. Even on Tuesday Albrighton was putting the ball in dangerous areas but our midfielders were not gambling to get in there.

17m 🧐 can we get the sporting director if he is still the same bloke that sold us Slimani and Silva for £52m

[adejo92]

Sporting fans rate him highly apparently..

[Ric Flair]

Maverick type player, who to have as an option in the squad is a big plus. His long range shooting ability looks impressive and I think that's a weapon.

[lanefox]

Depth out wide!!!

 

People need to come to the realisation that wingers blow hot and cod all the time , we've massively lacked depth out for a long time

[Harry96]

Exciting signing this one

OK wow, this implies he will be a major part of the first team. Will be very interesting to see how we use Mavididi, Yunus and Issahaku. Most likely it just means competition for places and the ability to put more and more dangerous players onto the pitch as match time goes on, and we've already seen that our quality means we find goals in the later part of matches. Very Man City-esque. Also means if someone is having off day, like Mavididi has had recently, we can refresh the attack.

 

 

[STUHILL]

Genuinely excited to see him play as he seems very highly rated but also Sporting have let him go at only 19. 

Strange and very curious! 

[ealingfox]

The fact that nobody called Abdul has ever been a good footballer is a slight concern, but there's a first time for everything.

17 million euros, not pounds. Hope the board are hedging against currency movements, although I suppose it could work in our favour if the pound strengthens against the euro.

Wonder how long it is until we’re saying Abdul go back

We needed a bit of x factor that Mahrez and Knockaert had. Note sure the last two have their skills, but here's hoping they can add something, as we need it.

They would have seen him in the B team too.

[Haywood_6]

I'm excited by this one. Looks explosive from his highlights and he's got quick feet. Loves a long range effort at goal as well.

[Langston]

Surely that €17m clause if we go up is based on him getting a certain number of appearances under his belt too?

One goal and one assist in 695 minutes in 9 appearances in the Portugal third tier. 
Is that enough to be highly rated?
