I guess we need Fred or someone else who actually watches the Ligue 1 to comment on him. Never heard of him.

We sold Diego to sign Yohan.

Finally, a replacement for Boumsong. :superhapp

Fred:-

He is quite good with the ball at his feet, kind of like Chivu, he is a calm centerback and has decent pace too. I don't know about him being a leftback, i don't follow St Etienne week in week out, so maybe he has played there, but i personally have never seen him play as a fullback, even though i heard he's capable of playing there. So i can't really comment on his ability to play there. Whenever i've watched St Etienne he has always been a centerback. He has been quite decent for St Etienne whenever i've seen him, though i imagine he'd be backup at Juve. He isn't as good as Bonucci is.

Thanks for saving my lazy ass the trouble Nick

 

[Espectro]

I guess he will come as 4th choise central defender, if thats the case, I think is a good move

As backup i think he'll be quite a good addition. I strongly doubt he's being brought in as anything but backup.

I love one of the comments on that video:

I cannot watch this anymore without thinking of some creepy man/woman covering itself in shredded toilet paper and making barking noises in public.

 

[Rollie]

Well, I have absolutely no thoughts on this transfer, as I've never seen the man play. Hope he's cheap.

I also hope that we're going to go get some proper fullbacks. Enough is enough.

 

[Mark]

Please do it yourself Nicholas. Just copy paste wiki.

 

[cimenk]

Nice transfer.. It's better than splashing 8m on Burdisso or sign an overrated, useless Italian CB like Barzagli who is not young anymore.. And he is cheaper than Bocchetti because Genoa trying to playing hardball with us..

 

[KroniK]

Never heard of him before. Thought we would give a chance to Ferrero..

[Lion]

i like this young athletic defense we seem to be bulding.
