Han-Noah Massengo

[BroadstairsR 2,195]

Has anybody else seen this defensive midfield player and been impressed with him?

I remember noting him as a stand-out performer for Bristol City (who had forked out a reported £7m+ fee for him) a few years ago, but cannot remember the game. Lots of skill.

His contract ran out at Bristol, and he had a very short spell in his native France before being snapped up by Burnley last August, but he has yet to make an appearance.

I note Samuel Seaman must be similarly impressed as he has, in the Pink, included him in one of his five PL options that City should consider loaning.

Could we do worse? Anybody seen more of him?

Brilliant name. Good enough for me. Can't wait for the crossword clue.

I was thinking more along the lines of the Star Wars/biblical implications of his first name, but, sure, I'll take an anagram.

Solo = Han

Ark-builder = Noah

Stormtrooper = SS

Eastwards = E

Tropical fruit = Mango

Force the SSE into Mango and you get Ma-sse-ngo.

I didn't say it wasn't contrived. But in my defence I hadn't heard of him until this morning.

"Solo Ark-builder mixes southern mangoes, creating City transfer target" would be better. (Massengo is an anagram of S mangoes).

On form there Rob - excellent effort

Never seen Star Wars so would have preferred 'tailless appendage'' with joins 'animal loving boatman' as Ark-builder may be too obvious? 

That was where I was at. You've bettered me on the last name.

Out of likes but yes, like that. Agree that ark-builder is a bit too easy.

If we are going to start throwing names out generally due to transfer boredom / radio silence from the club, I would go for a loan for Man Utd youngster Kobbie Mainoo. A holding / defensive midfielder who breaks up play but always looks for a forward pass. He's only 18 and would be good experience for him (in theory). He looked very accomplished against Wigan recently and would add a different more resilient dynamic to our midfield and we should be able to put the likes of Sara further forward.

Not "throwing' names out," actually. As I said, this player was mentioned in the PinkUn by Samuel Seaman as being a good player for City to loan from the PL. I was agreeing with this based upon my own assessment after seeing him in single game and wondered if others had seen more of him.

Wouldn't know about your recommendation, but perhaps he might be too young?

Sorry I didnt see that article. Massengo looked impressive in a Bristol team, so probably not a bad shout. You would of expecting some news on transfers by this stage of January.

Seems we already had a physical DM which we didnt play. No nonsense from the lad.

We, unavoidably, seem to have lost a good 'un there. Hope the add-ons ate heavily agreed in our favour or is it just the usual undervalued assessment of our input over the years decided by a committee?

The pink'un poster bit took me a lot longer than it should have!  Baffled by the City sicknote - is that another anagram?
