  • Just to be clear... we are talking about Florentine biscuits right ?

    I'm told a new player training with the team yesterday 
    That's what I was told too by a club source. Wouldn't say who it was.
    pogba's brother, 29, a centre half
    Looked on Wikipedia and saw he has two brothers.

    Clicked on one, saw he was 29, must be that one.

    Went back and realised they’re twins.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florentin_Pogba

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathias_Pogba

    Florentin is a defender playing in the MLS, must be him.

    Mathias has played in England and Scotland but he’s a striker currently in the Spanish lower leagues.

    Sign all three brothers and we could have a spine of Pogba’s through the middle of the team. 
    Looked on wiki, totally underwhelmed. A journeyman footballer if ever I saw one. Definitely not one who will improve the team in my opinion. And definitely not one who will push us on to the next level.
    Blimey, at least Driesen went a bit further than judging a player on their Wikipedia!!

    He's had four clubs (not including a loan) and he's 29. I wouldn't call him a journeyman.

    I trust in Gallen & Bowyer. Hardly failed us yet.
    Ok, maybe journeyman the wrong choice of word, but his playing record isn’t exactly inspiring. One to improve the team and push us to the next level? I very much doubt it.
    How good do you have to be, to be better than Sarr & Pearce? It's not a high standard. Every chance he's better. 

    Anyway, I guess I have a bit more faith in our scouting structure and I'm excited to see him play. (If this is true.)
    I reckon you might be wrong on that one, I think Sarr & Pearce are at a higher level than a MLS sides reserve team. 
  • To update the cliché, football isn't played on Wikipedia. I'd trust Gallen to have done his homework, and Bowyer to make a judgement based on what he sees in training.

    Where do you get that he was stuck in the reserves? Not from his Wikipedia. 
  • MLS second division. I’m always willing to give new players a chance but in this case, underwhelmed 
    Atlanta aren’t in the second division. They’re one of the best teams in the MLS. Won the play offs in 2018 and made it to the semis in 2019.
    The wiki link posted earlier says he plays for Atlanta 2 in mls 2

    Worth signing Florentin just so we can sing he's better than Paul... 
    Could even sing "He plays more than Paul"

    It says he played 4 games for them in the same year he played 13 games for the first team. 

    Of course most teams and leagues don't record reserve appearances on their Wikipedia. 
  • Are we sure that he is the player training who is signed? 

    Could he be on trial and another player is training who has signed due to be announced?

    Anyway we have Hady Ghandour on a two week trial.

    Source, his club Tooting and Mitcham on Twitter.


    We got Abraham Odoh from them and had another of their kids on trial last season too. Maybe we have a tie up!

    It literally does.
  • Florentin is 6'2" and left footed, so if he impresses he could be the Sarr/Pearce upgrade
  • edited January 2020
    Yeah. The only difference is their reserve side plays in a league where performances are recorded. 

    If it worked like that everywhere we'd be moaning every player had played in the reserves.

    Looks like he can also play left-back judging from YouTube.

    Cool, but he was playing for their reserves this season, as per his Wiki page.

    He was injured for a period of time so they sent him out to their second team to gain match sharpness. Different way of doing it, but essentially the same as playing for U23s here.

    Don’t know enough about him but know he’s a left footed centre back who is quite strong. That’s pretty much about it.
    I suspect that this is a trial. 

    As a free agent he could sign outside the window as Joe Ledley did. Hopefully he wouldn't be pitched straight in like the Welsh International as clearly he was unfit. 

    I would be disappointed if he was one of the 4/5 signings but a contract until the end of the season might be appropriate if he is good. It would be good to have another player who passes the height test as I often feel we are smaller than our opponents.

    Yeah! As well as the first team! In 2019 he played 13 first team games and 3 for the reserves. 

    So it doesn't "literally" say he was rotting in the reserves
  • On the POGBA story, isn’t Sarr one of his best mates so guess that where the link comes from. Brotherly love

    I thought it was the fella at Arsenal?

    As far as I'm aware Sarr is best mates with Lacazette as they grew up playing together, but I'm sure he'd know and be friendly with Pogba too

    Cawley reporting we could sign four players, three being loans and one permanent.

    Does though mention things can change in a matter of hours, nevermind days.
    Four players sounds good but would really rather start signing permanents getting them
    ready for next season, fed up of loans.
  • Lacazette and Umtiti... Sure he would know Pogba through them though

    How about we concentrate on staying up and worry about next season in the summer ? 
    With our players coming back I.e Cullen ,Williams and Taylor I really cant see us going down.

    Only takes a couple of those to get injured again or Taylor to leave next week and we are fucked.
  • We can't afford complacency.
    At least seven more wins are needed in my view, we won't get them only by signing players in this window, Bowyer has to continue to make demands.
