The "Bulgaria" comedians might have to get some new material.

I like how there's no leaks with our transfers now (if this is true)

 

[Aston max]

What's we all fucking foreigner's

There's going to be a full on meltdown coming

 

[Blade56]

Obligatory negative reaction:

Looks shite on the ball.

For balance, this report would suggest he's decent defensively.

Strange signing though, I thought Selles would really go for Alzate who had really similar defensive stats to Souza but clearly had a better technical ability.

Has the penny dropped, there’s no ITKers under this ownership. Most has been guesswork and idle journalism linking us to every player at Hull and Reading

 

[Mouth of the South]

Good signing if true - very athletic and will protect the defence to allow the more creative players to play. Glad Selles did want a DM after all - I feared games of basketball with Peck, Hamer and COH as a mid three.

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

He’s in sheffield apparently

I hope he fetched his brolly.

The weather question in the official interview is, of course, obligatory when it comes to players from the southern hemisphere.

Need our trusted favourites to come back. Wilder would be getting us some gritty british steel.

 

[Danetheblade]

Yeah Souza replacement but with extra height

he’s an inch smaller than Souza in height.. probably not in other areas.

Braga, Bulgaria not long till the software is on C

[Rodley]

He’s going to have to cover some ground and get up to speed fast with this press. Would have preferred Alzate as he has a bit of wool on his back, but let’s see what the boy can do.

 

[Wards]

When the ball hits the goal,
It's not Shearer or Cole,
It's Soumare

When the ball hits the net
Like a fuckin rock-et
It's Soumare

 

[robbiez666]

Do we know how far off the Senegal team he is as there's an African Cup of Nations in December?

Similar stats to Souza, guessing his passes to statistic is down to him being a CDM?

 

[Cheesebored]

Take your word for it. Arse still in tatters?

 

[BigBed]

Will he fly into Bulgaria before coming to us though!??

Put it this way. I whistle when I’m side on in the wind.

From the bits I've just watched, I saw exactly what our players were good at yesterday — receiving or winning the ball, turning and passing it forwards. Hardly shite on the ball.

 

[Bladesman]

Not rated highly on FC 25.

No go... no go...

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Doesn't look look from the clips like the defensive "cleaner upper" that souza was but more attacking from deep in the clips here

I mean there's a link in this very opening post by a itk type elsewhere... plenty of random signings happened under the Prince with very little leakage too

 

[Harry's Game]

But can he perform in a dogging lay-by on a cold January evening?

Let’s hope it’s not…

You’ve left early f’boozer
Pining for Souza
That’s Soumane

I know someone who can.

I know someone who can.

Probably out injured though?

Sodomised by his own handbrake.

 

[FTPE]

Silky bastard.
Really like the look of this fella.
Not as big and strong as Vini but seems to read the game better (no idea of the level of these highlights) has quicker feet, and dribbles better. He seems to intercept more than tackle, which is a good sign for a young player.

 

[Aston max]

I hope he fetched his brolly.

Senegal can be wetter than here
