OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 So hes a 23 year old striker playing for Saint Etienne. I'm sure a few on here might have seen him play before or heard of him at least. He has an impressive goal tally right now in France. Hes got 8 goals in 12 games right now as Saint Etienne sit 3rd in Ligue 1, he also got 2 assists for them. A lot of French league following Twitter accounts have been mentioning him for a while as a potential target for PL clubs for a while now. He's usually a striker but he played as a LW tonight vs Troyes. He's blessed with pace, a good finisher with his feet and head, versatile and good at dribbling with the ball. Hes also on the African player of the year shortlist along with Mikel, Yaya Toure and all that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 See, this guy is good. Seen 2/3 St. Ettiene games and I must say he does seem like a danger man. I'd prefer him over Bony because he'd fit in more in our system, but lets just see how the season pans out for this lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 What do you make of him? Chelsea quality or just average and overrated? From what I've seen, he'd be good enough for any club, but he'd need a very strong manager to mold him.He actually reminds me of a young Henry.I know that's a huge comparison to make, but he really does.He's just not blessed with the same finesse or exquisite technique.

Amblève. 4,995 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 He's been my replacement for Torres on career mode lol (doing well as such one btw)Just seen him playing a few times in RL but he seems like a very flexible player capable of scoring in various ways.

Like with his head, both feet etc. The fact if he interchanged positions with our LAM or RAM he'd be perfect there too as he can play there as well as up front.

Reddish-Blue 2,506 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Unless Torres is definitely leaving, there is NO POINT buying him.He needs a disciplined manager in order to improve, not sure if RDM can mold this kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Decent player, has potential.He needs a disciplined manager in order to improve, not sure if RDM can mold this kid.What do you mean a disciplined manager haha?

Reddish-Blue 2,506 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Why does the kid have attitude/behavior problems?Disciplinary problems forced Milan to loan him out to French club Lille, the Milan manager believes Pierre needs to start thinking about his future if he wants to realise his potential.

Shak 22 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Aston Villa are keen admirers, they want him as Bent's replacement.Rodgers is looking for a young, versatile forward who can interchange with Suarez.He'd be a good player for the right price but he'd only grow if he plays regularly (eg. Torres has to leave). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg 1,824 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 No need for unconfirmed players , he's too young and not that good , he is doing well right now at 'Les verts' but we need a player with more experience upfront , Huntelaar for me or Falcao/Cavani that seems to be our main targets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 We have not been linked with him...so I dont think we will go after him. Sure he has some nice skills, but needs to mature. I think Remy would be better choice if we are picking anyone from Ligue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Huntelaar? He would be such a backwards signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Gino 377 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Chelsea should make a move for Pierre before Newcastle does. I like this guy, especially the Spider Man celebration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
