A 30 year old right winger, was on loan at Pompey a few years ago, apart from that not played in England. Has international caps for Cameroon.
According to FM he's a free agent, and if he's as good as he is on there he'd be a good signing. Appears to be a slightly better version of Lloyd Sam, he has a good cross on him.
Comments
So did Jesus but he couldn't play either
Worth a look I suppose. I remember him at Portsmouth, he was awfull.
More interesting is no Moo2 again. Bye bye Yassin methinks. Is he even training with us?
Bit unfair on Jesus.
Everyone knows he was a goalkeeper or have you never seen the sign outside churches.
JESUS SAVES
Scoham, hate to break this to you but FM is just a game. It's not real life : - )
Jerome is back to save us.
But Keegan gets the rebound!
No, Ian St John gets the rebound
Think Robbie might be a little tired having played last night as well.
Sorry misread the title.
I thought it was a suggested first team for Southampton away.
Still drying out after last night. Rain not alcohol i hasten to add!
To save time and argument can we agree now that he is either:
Total rubbish and must never been signed and his mere trial is an insult to the fans and an indication of the lack of football nous at board level.
OR
He is a genius who we better not miss out on as he is just what we need and the delay in signing him is already an insult to fans and an indication of the lack of football nous at board level.
and Dickson blasts the rebound over the cross bar...
what Damien Matthews record since he took over the ressy from Kins? have they improved?
Decided from that picture that Douala is no good. Funny ears and his skull is an odd shape. Get rid.
Great result that was, 90 mins end to end.. he he ;-) the toss of the coin to see who won was dramatic..
Is he running along holding his balls?
Cool
"Watchyou Talking About Willis..."

If only it was real life. Pardew would still be here. After every defeat he could reload the game and play it again.
Cheat : - )
Would fit in well at Charlton then
Zheng Zhi played for just under an hour as Charlton's reserves earned a deserved 1-1 draw at table-topping Southampton on Wednesday night.
The game was the first match action for China international Zheng since being sidelined back in October with a foot injury.
And the star impressed in his first run-out before making way for Scott Wagstaff on 55 minutes.
After the game had been delayed by a quarter of an hour due to traffic problems encountered by Charlton on the way down to Southampton's Staplewood training ground, Bradley Wright-Phillips opened the scoring from the penalty spot just after the break, before Stuart Fleetwood grabbed the equaliser for the Addicks with just under 20 minutes remaining.
In terms of team news, Nicky Weaver, back in action after bruising to a hip in recent weeks, started in goal, behind a youthful back line of Chris Solly, Yado Mambo, Aswad Thomas and Grant Basey.
Cameroonian trialist Rudolph Douala lined up on the right flank, with Josh Wright and Zheng in the middle and Rashid Yussuff on the left. Fleetwood was partnered up front by Svetoslav Todorov.
Zheng helped create the first opening of the totesport.com Combination Central League match when he played a neat one-two with Todorov, who fired just wide of the far post.
Southampton nearly went in front on 32 minutes when Ryan Smith jinked down the flank, before picking out Wright-Phillips, whose low shot fizzed inches wide with Weaver beaten.
Two minutes later, Matt Paterson saw a shot held by Weaver, before a free-kick from Romain Gasmi flew narrowly wide of the right upright.
With the half-time whistle looming, Douala shot straight at Southampton keeper Tommy Forecast and the sides went into the break with the scoreline goalless.
It took just over 12 minutes for Saints to break the deadlock in the second half and it came from the penalty spot, Wright-Phillips slotting past Weaver after the hosts' forward had been bundled over by Mambo.
Substitute Wagstaff almost pulled Charlton level when his effort was tipped brilliantly over the bar by Forecast, while the diving Fleetwood was inches away from connecting with a dangerous cross from Solly.
The Addicks continued to dominate and were rewarded in the 73rd minute when a long ball out of defence was flicked on by Todorov into the path of Fleetwood and the former Wales U21 international raced clear to slot home.
Wagstaff shot wide late on but the draw stretches Charlton's unbeaten run to three games. Damian Matthew's side are in action again next Wednesday when they make the relatively short trip to Gillingham (2pm).

Kick-off 19:00
[Kick off was delayed by 15 minutes due to traffic problems for the away team]
When things finally kicked off at Staplewood, the visitors created the first opening when Svetoslav Todorov played one-two with Chinese international Zheng Zhi down the left, before firing wide of the far post.
Saints then tested Charlton 'keeper Nicky Weaver from long distance, with Gasmi and Wright-Philips both trying shots in quick sucession.
Hungarian defender Zoltan Liptak handled the ball on the edge of the area on 17 minutes, but made amends when he got back well to head Zheng Zhi's free-kick behind.
Ryan Smith then surged forward with a jinking run down the flanks, before picking out Wright-Phillips, who cut inside and struck a low ball just wide of the far post with Weaver beaten on 32 minutes.
Two minutes later, Jake Thomson also got in on the attack, splitting the defence with a clever pass that saw Matt Paterson try a low shot that was well held by the 'keeper.
In an otherwise even first half, Saints' best chance came five minutes before the break when a free-kick on the left from Romain Gasmi was whipped in and flew narrowly wide of the right upright.
Another strong run from Molyneux saw Wright-Phillips head wide as well, before the visitors wrapped up the half with a low shot from Douala that went straight down the Saints 'keeper's throat.
Half-Time: Saints Res 0-0 Charlton Res
Saints made one change at the interval, with Jack Boyle coming on for last night's goalscorer Matt Paterson.
Charlton's Todorov was the first to go close as he drilled a shot wide to the right of goal on 52 minutes from the edge of the area.
Josh Wright then linked up well with Zhang Zhi who curled a shot wide of the right post.
Saints eventually found their feet as Gasmi made space for a low shot in the 57th minute after some good early running from Boyle.
Events took a dramatic turn when the home side were awarded a penalty a minute later when Gasmi lifted a ball over from the right that was initially chested down by Wright-Phillips, only for him to be floored inside the box.
Having won the spot-kick, WRIGHT-PHILLIPS opened the scoring with penalty kick that went straight down the middle of the goal.
Now full of confidence, Saints went close again on 60 minutes as Oscar Gobern teed up Academy star Callum McNish, and he drew a fine save from Weaver with a shot that was heading for the top left corner.
Both teams made switches with just under 25 minutes to go, with Ryan Smith coming off for Tom Dunford and Charlton replacing Zhi with Scott Wagstaff.
The Addicks' sub made an immediate impact and his 66th minute dipping shot from the edge of the area was well kept out by Tommy Forecast, who tipped the ball over the bar with a brilliant one-handed diving save.
The equaliser came in the 73rd minute through Stuart FLEETWOOD as he picked up Todorov's flick-on inside the centre circle from Weaver's long ball and finished into the bottom left corner of the net.
The momentum was now with the visitors, and Saints were let off the hook in the 77th minute after Wagstaff did all the hard work to run through on goal, but could only place the ball wide at the end of a lengthy sprint.
Saints shuffled their pack once again two minutes later as Jamie Hatch was sent on for Gobern, but neither side could muster a winner despite late efforts from both Wagstaff and Jake Thomson.
Wagstaff's 83rd minute cross caused trouble at the back, but Forecast dealt with the danger well and saved Wright's follow-up before Thomson pulled a shot well wide.
Full-Time: Saints Res 1-1 Charlton Athletic Res
About time too, put him in the 1st team and he'll score goals, he'll be our saviour, why have Pardew and Parkinsella ignored him
Maybe getting a teensy bit laboured now. We're all f'ed off.
motty would have a field day with that surname
Now you know how I felt when people went on and on and on with similar stuff for months.
