New signing today from Westerlo in Belgium.
28 year old striker
Anyone know anything about him?
Before us he played for westerlo in belgiumOriginally Posted by Colonel Cærdiffi
Cant believe you have never heard of him. You must have heard that new chant Frédéric Gounongbe on fire
Ya, I can't spell or pronounce his name.
At the risk of sounding naive, he looks pretty good. Seems assured and composed in front of goal, scores all sorts of goals and plenty of headers too, something for Whitts to aim at.
How long is he Gounongbe ?
Well he's tall - 6' 3"
Not a bad goal ratio at Westerlo and at Brussels .
A ready-made chant before he's even set foot on the pitch.

I'd like to hear it sung to "Cherry Oh Baby" so it goes like this

Oh Freddy Oh Freddy Oh Baby,
Don't you see I'm in love with you,
How long is he Gounongbe?,

Woooohooooohhhhh,
Woooohooooohhhhh,
Yeahyeayeayeayeeeee,
Yeahyeayeayeayeeeee,

(unless he turns out to be rubbish)
And he's from Benin....
You risked naivety when you said Whitts has aims. #job4life

Funny how when a real transfer story hits WOL are the last to know
How poor is the standard of that league!?
I can imagine there will be Jay Bothroyd/Rudy comparisons to come...
If he's any good.
If he's half as good as Bothroyd then
Rudy is also a Benin international forward.
Is that a good thing?
Which is quite likely given the record of strikers being signed in the past few seasons.
Very nice half volley finish early on in that compilation. When I saw he'd scored twenty two goals in forty five matches for Westerlo, for some reason, i assumed they'd all come in one season. He seems to have entered the professional game quite late, but nearly one goal every two games since then is a good record whatever the quality of the league.
As usual, a case of wait and see I suppose.
well i have never spoken to him
thus, never tied him in knots or had him looking sheepishly at the ground speechless
hope that helps
Prounounce that Ratcliffe you twat!!
Even Cornelius looked good on YouTube
Plays for Benin but born in Brussels. Came late to professional football.
Good piece in WOL:
