kick it off 2,062 Posted May 26, 2011 I looked but couldn''t see this anywhere on here - Sone Aluko - a 5''7 LW from Aberdeen wants to move to Prem or high end championship (or Turkey). Out of contract in Sept. Just turned 22.Kick off Nigeria reporting we''re interested - Leics in pole position but not prepared to play the 200k comp to Aberdeen. Blues also interested and wouldn''t have to pay comp as from their academy.Wiki says he played for Eng at every level up to U19, been capped once for Nigeria''s full side.Sounds like a Lambo type of player to me, young, hungry, unknown to us! Would give us the option to go 4-4-2 rather than diamond so sounds plausible to me.Looks quick as anything and scored past Bayern Munich for Aberdeen at age 18.The traditional youtube compilation vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJKcTL9ONBkLinks:http://www.kickoff.com/news/21988/aberdeen-forward-sone-aluko-could-move-to-english-clubs.phphttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sone_Alukohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV-jPXfM0X0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,770 Posted May 26, 2011 I think you''ve just killed the "unknown to us" side of things.He''s a bit of a Football Manager legend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
York Canary 29 Posted May 26, 2011 Never heard of him but sounds good. Unsure how reliable the Kick off Nigeria source is (as reliable as a Nigerian''s age?) but the fact he''s been mentioned with us is interesting. Can''t wait to start signing some players all this excitement/tension is doing my head in and we''re not even at the start of the transfer window yet lol. Let''s get some lads tied up eh.

YellowLittle1 0 Posted May 26, 2011 Could be a good shout, maybe he caught someone''s eye whilst monitoring Steven Smith, no doubt a scout probably kept there eye on him to see how he played.I think we need width and that could well be the answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ 1,359 Posted May 26, 2011 It''s a possibility, although I can''t see Lambert dropping Surman too quickly, but competition for places is always good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
