Yellow and Green 334 Posted August 26, 2015 "Norwich striker Gary Hooper set to sign on loan for Sheffield Wednesday. A real shame as he has bags of talent but needs to work harder"That''s all he says... Nothing about getting a CF from the French leagues..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari_2 0 Posted August 26, 2015 He said it as a reply to somebody commenting on that.If it was a Marseille player, like the rumour from the other night would suggest, it could be Michy Batshuayi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrs miggins 0 Posted August 26, 2015 diego rolan perhaps? I remember Newcastle being interested last week or the week before. He also doesn''t play for the big french teams like the other top strikers.William Yedder who either plays for Toulouse or Bordeux would be good too (If I''ve got his name right)Personally I don''t like the french league(s) but they could do a job.

If that is true, and we''re looking to sign a forward from Ligue 1 it could only really be Batshuayi, Now THAT would be a signing to get excited about! Kid is a star in the making.

Yellow and Green 334 Posted August 26, 2015 @KerianShikari: Sorry, I missed that - fair play to you and the OP!Having now read all of the comments, he seems very confident about Hooper leaving (not surprising, considering it is so widely reported), however he is inconsistent with his answers, extremely vague and seemingly unsure about AN wanting someone from the French league....I''m happy to be proved wrong but I have a feeling that he has no idea what he is talking about!

Yellow and Green 334 Posted August 26, 2015 He also looks a bit like John Bishop! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,948 Posted August 26, 2015 The Mirror article states that AN made a scouting trip to Marseille on Sunday. Interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simmo_2 6 Posted August 26, 2015 It is a Centre Back with the name of Nicolas Nkoulou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

birchfest 397 Posted August 26, 2015 I refuse to believe we are letting hooper out without a concrete plan for a replacement... Even before Grabban decided he didn''t like the menu at travelodge Rotherham! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legend Iwan 30 Posted August 26, 2015 That Nkoulou rumour comes from today''s Sun, which is more likely than the idea of team-mate Michy Batshuayi joining us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N''koulou is similar to Bassong, but a bit quicker (and shorter). Likes to play the ball on the deck, generally keeps things simple with his passing, reads the game well, and has a great sense of timing on his tackles.

Viva Marc Libbra 0 Posted August 26, 2015 Nkoulou would be a great signing if we can pull that off. Michy Batshuayi (pronounced Bat-Shoe-Eye) however would be on another level altogether. This kid is the real deal and we would probably end up selling him on for a fortune eg. Bony at Swansea (who Batshuayi is in the mould of) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrs miggins 0 Posted August 26, 2015 Although its probably just a rumour, this would be a signing worth waiting for. No harm in having our head in the clouds for the time being. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
