Arthur Avom Ebong next in

[Arkle]

3 different nationalities, they can't all get to the final so at least one will be back before the end.

It's these details that show our professionalism now

There's no guarantee that Avom Ebong would be in the Cameroon squad. His only two caps have come in a competition for players in African domestic leagues only. He was in their most recent squad for a couple of friendlies but that squad was missing a lot of experienced/high profile players - you'd think a lot of those players would come back into the squad.

I'm not sure this lad is as first team ready as the other two anyway. He's basically had a season in Ligue 2 and that's it.

I mean we need numbers, but 3 midfielders who will be missing during AFCON seems unlikely.

That will be why we're going for them before the tournament. If these lads are as highly rated as expected, their values will only increase, especially after a good tournament and season with us.

 

[SAFC 2012]

France isn't going to have any African national players left at this rate.

CM

Neither are we come January

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Looks a happy little chap

 

[Paddock Poster]

Just to point out Cameroon is also in Africa and has also qualified for the ACN.
We will have a hell of a gap in January if he is number 4 that will be away!

 

[connolly_31]

Can imagine the AFCON really destabilising our push for the title at this rate.

 

[HitchBerg]

Already signed two central midfielders to go with what we have.

Signing another, considering we will probably still need to spend money on a goalkeeper, 2 centre halves, a right winger and a centre forward doesn't make sense.

How do you know a) we won't sign all the above and b) the club may not think all those positions need filling

He looks like that ‘okay’ lad who went viral years ago. Same smile.

I'd imagine if we sign this lad it will be as one for the future

Better than our last time in the prem where we signed players for the past.

Gonna be missing half a team when the Africa Cup of Asians starts

At least this lad is only half a player!

Jesus man, what a horror show that season was. In my opinion it was worse than the 15 and 19 point seasons.

Fuckin Rodwell, Lescott, Pinear, Gibson etc

Rodwell was a Gus Poyet signing, brought in before then.

I take your point though.

I was sure Martin O’Neil signed Danny Graham and Jack Rodwell saying they were both sought after at the time.

Rodwell came in during the same summer as Alvarez. Absolutely epic summer that! Poyet and Congleton played a blinder!!

 

[dcl0sc]

is he good????????

Rodwell definitely signed during the Poyet years like.

Aye, Danny Graham was a Martin O’Neill one. Around £5.5m ffs.
