Striker Adrian Colunga Signs Two Year Deal (Update)

[mune ni kamome]

McCourt is the signing that's puzzling me. Where does he fit in?

The wild card.

 

[Goldstone1976]

It would certainly seem so:

GK - Stockdale, Ankergren, Walton
LB - Bennett, Chicksen
CH - Greer, Dunk, Hughes, Maksimenko
RB - Bruno, Calderon
DM - Holla, Ince, Toko
MID - Stephens, Crofts, JFC, Agustiein
AM - Lua Lua, Teixeira, March , McCourt
ST - CMS, Collonga, O'Grady, Fenelon

That's a pretty good squad! Albeit with one too many players in it... so who's leaving? Maksi on loan, maybe??

Cheers.
The most revealing of the videos. Not afraid to shoot low, early. Misses a fair bit but is positive and fast over a short distance. Like CMS with flair. Good link up play in the video too.

And seems to be perfectly comfortable using both feet. How many English players could say that?

Video round-up. Looks decent - http://www.northstandchat.com/content.php?212-Adrian-Colunga-in-video

Looking at that 7 min round-up of his goals, let's hope the opposition play a high line against us, as over half of those came from breakaway goals where he outruns their defence.

This season's Stephen Dobbie ...

 

[Super Steve Earle]

McCourt is the deputy impact sub for LuaLua.

Wouldn't be surprised if Toko was shipped out as well.

COG is nearly 6ft 4.

6ft 1 according to Wiki. (Yes, I appreciate it's Wiki)

He hasn't played yet!

thats odd. He's 1.91m not 1.85 according to his Google Now card.
and He's 1.88m on Soccerbase
http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=34857

and 6 3 on his FIFA profile on this fifa type rip off site

He's tall ish i think we can all agree.

And also we will sign another striker...

 

[Rogero]

Doesn't puzzle me. 46 games and cup games. Injuries/suspensions/loss of form etc i'm sure Mccourt will get plenty of game time.

McCourt gave the best display out of every team at the Amex last year.

 

[Napper]

If he is a 15 goal + player then we will be in the mix

 

[Blackadder]

And also we will sign another striker...

Absolutely. Agree on both points mate.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Wouldn't be surprised if Toko was shipped out as well.

Why ? I thought he was going to be our hard man in the first team just needs match fitness and bringing upto speed on the way we play....

 

[Medwayseagull]

Getafe fans think he is lazy and useless on their forum.

Fans from the team you are leaving are hardly the most accurate and impartial source in assessing a players ability. Look at some of the posters on this forum who have commented in similar circumstances.

He'll get on well with kemy then

 

[Kevlar]

it looks like Sami is playing a kind off
4 -1-2-2-1
I would think he has been signed as one of the two most advanced midfielders
alongside jao tex would expect him to start ahead of crofts ,kemy and Lua Lua there.
although could be an alternative central forward
That leaves the conundrum of whether there is a new main striker coming?
How much can we pay in fees and wages we know they can be very costly
Can we find a foreign bargain or a loan?
Excited by Columba tex and hola it is back to the future flairtastic

 

[Surf's Up]

On the face of it a considerably better acquisition than Baldock would've been.

Maybe at last JFC will get dropped as he's being carried at the moment

Why? Because I haven't seen him play yet. He hasn't even figured when we were losing in the first week of the season. With our recent signings, Toko isn't making the subs bench. I'm GUESSING that SH doesn't fancy him. (I don't know) Happy to be proved wrong.
