Michel-Ange Balikwisha

If he is fit and good to go again, then it's a no brainer. He's a terrific player.
He would solve the LW position, and give us a different kind of option from Maeda, and also
decent cover on that wing.

 

I think he looks a really intelligent footballer, good awareness of what is around him, often plays the right ball or makes the right call between playing a pass, dribbling, making a run off the ball, presses well. The only thing I would say is he looks like he would be better linking with a traditional full back.

 

Think we could do better..

 

We could always do better, but we are operating within a certain financial frame, with Engels being the exception rather than the rule.

We could get Balikwishi for around £5M, he's a very good fit, Toure would be my other option, but how much would he cost ?.

 

Don't know how much that boy would cost but I think we could get way better for that kinda money. There's beeb posts in the suggestions thread from last night alone of a couple of wingers that would be nowhere near 5 and look better on the eye..

If we push the boat out a bit more we could probably nab a real game changer type..

 

Wasn't bowled over by him when we were linked in the summer. Would much rather Kvistgaarden, particularly with this guy coming off the back of a serious injury and not kicking a ball this season.

 

He not been out injured since July?

 

Wouldn't go as far to say I'd be underwhelmed if he signed, but I think there's a few wingers I'd much rather have before this boy. Would be going all out for Kvistgaarden.

Mind you, we'll be linked with quite a few wingers over the next month.

 

Anyone else not enamoured with this link?

 

Big Ange.

 

Dont know about that one. 28mins since July. Only a LTB would make sense. Make sure he doesnt get injured again before we spend big money for him.
