CONFIRMED Anis Slimane

[NerdyBlade]

No doubt this will be one of the loans with a view to buy option. Seems decent from the highlights reel, I know, I know! Decent age too and time to improve, won't cost a lot, hopefully another of similar quality to Anel. He probably speaks reasonable English too as he's born and raised in Denmark.

Can't be loan to buy, surely - he's in the last year of his contract in the upcoming contract isn't he?

 

[robbiez666]

Just wondering have you seen him play much, I haven't but if you have fair play, I've only seen brief highlights.

Only a couple of times in fairness. He didn't strike me as someone who would be good at that level. Technically very good but not convinced about the all round game.

It won’t be loan this one.

 

[SUFCinks]

He looks a bit like a didzy but MF equivalent. Good with his feet, technical, vision, links play but not blessed with pace.

No idea if he’s prem quality but adds something different to what we have.

That’s probably pretty notable - given that they were chatting to the prince about targets on Monday.

Yep

Indeed the fact it’s ready suggests they were expecting it.

 

[brownblade]

The interesting thing is, based on the highlights reel, he looks like someone that would play RCM.

Doesn't mean we sell Berge, but certainly possible.

 

[brownblade]

May I be the first to suggest a simple chant of SLIMANE, SLIMANE, SLIMANE - like... For some reason I can only think of Red Army or Who are ya.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Is he a regular for Tunisia?

Is he a regular for Tunisia?

He played at the WC but not sure how much of a regular he is

 

[Paisley Blade]

He played at the WC but not sure how much of a regular he is

27 full caps, 4 goals.

 

[Blade58]

Had a peek a boo on YouTube and tbf, though without being able gauge the level of opposition, he looks decent

 

[brownblade]

Is he a regular for Tunisia?

I checked last week - he played a reasonable role in their world cup. Multiple starts.

What as in Nah den Mark ows it goin?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Darren Smith saying he's one of the ones he was told about.

6 foot 2 which is much needed in midfield!

 

[biggiesablade]

He likes to be called Ben.

 

[FTPE]

Is he a regular for Tunisia?

Played 27 times, pretty impressive for a 22 year old.
He played in the World Cup for them.

I'm not on Twitter anymore, had DS give any indication on the other 3?

I’m literally going off brief highlights with this & I know it’s ridiculous but I’m not sure I’m overly excited by this signing. Hopefully I’m wrong.

With this tactic of signing unknown internationals we’ll uncover some Anels/ Ndiayes but we’ll also have a few HaiDong, Santos & Suffos in there. This signing feels like another one of them. We’ll see.

Says we are after a left wing back, club and striker as our perm signings then a few loans

Just spent 10 minutes watching on YouTube also and I agree he looks more than decent but also agree it’s difficult to gauge because of the opposition but he does look to have very good technical ability.

Looks like he’s got a eye for a defence splitting pass through the middle, could see him getting an understanding going with Ndiaye’s runs.

Get him signed.

 

[FTPE]

SIGN HIM UP BLACKWELL

Is this the same highlight everyone is watching thats moaning about signing him?
Looks a class act in here.
Some of those weighed balls through are sublime

If he's 6 foot 2 and has eyes of blue...

We signing Chris Guthrie again?

Big Slimane's coming for you.

 

[Weasel]

If he signs let give him, Hecky and Mitchell the benefit of the doubt shall we. They may just have signed a gem. I for one would be excited to see him sign for us. I like to see us sign unknowns. Not comparing (and I appreciate football has changed since the 70s obviously) but we once almost signed an unknown from Argentina in 1978 who was pretty good. Some on here would have moaned about Diego being signed.

[Davalon]

Always a bit wary of YT reels but considering the level those clips were taken from, he certainly seems to have something that would be a welcome addition.
