mediator 2,026 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 We need another CB, for 2.7m it could be a bargain, if not, that's a cheap bench warmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duppy Conqueror 1,539 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Leboeuf,Azpi,Essien,Malouda,Drogba,Gallas,Cech..all great at some point,some longer than others..also some young players who either haven`t panned out yet or are elsewhere now.Laurent Charvet the last player signed from Nantes by us if I recall correctly.. wasn`t the best but adequate depth at times. edit: no he was from Cannes.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 +1 for his epic name. Djilobodji.I'm calling him Dildo, just for ease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,320 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 This new lad is apparently comfortable as a defensive midfielder.I like the sound of this deal. Getting back to strength and pace from the back with a certain versatility. I reckon Jose is bang on the case now and I feel change is coming. Quite excited by it if I'm honest.Could be a very shrewd bit of business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sovieticus 743 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 We share the same birthday. I like this guy already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chels 2,502 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Never seen him play but people on French football pages are completely dumbfounded by the move and they clearly think he is nothing more than average at best.Meh I have no expectations for this Papy guy and it's a very low price but we have obviously followed up the 'Rooney or bust' saga with 'Stones/Pogba or bust' this window.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Apparently he is fast, tall, strong, versatile, decent on the ball and dead cheap. Could be a brilliant stop gap signing. As for the age I hope doctors scan his hand bones should be done with all players coming from poorly developed counrties such as Senegal, nigeria, tansania, Scotland and eastern germany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuvala 2,167 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Lets just call him Chris.Seems like a pretty good deal for the reported fee.. lets hope he does well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediator 2,026 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 The addition of Papy allows us to play a higher line defensively which is something I believe José would like to see. Would love to see him try it out in a COC match with a back four of : Baba - Papy - Zouma - AzpiThis signing is good business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Reportedly a stop gap.. but before us he was linked to Celtic and Southampton... unsure until I see him play for us or Nantes but yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Hazard! 3,394 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Baba - Papy - Zouma - Dave, Loftus-Cheek, John Obi, Hazard and Kenedy . We would certainly win the title if having the funniest named squad was the criteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Bought just to make the numbers I'm guessing. That said, what's wrong with recalling one of the loaned players to do this? Guess because they don't want to stall development by leaving them on the bench the entire season.If you can't position yourself properly and play team defense, the next best thing is to be a physical beast, so he won't be completely useless.

Our defence has been shambles. A good shake up is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
