City now linked with Mo Eisa of Cheltenham

[emjayblue]

Apparently 7 figure fee rejected although thought to be size of up front figure more than anything else.

He would be a good investment

(this joke was brought to you by Jeff Stelling and the number 9)

Made me regardless!

Allowances for the level of opposition, the whole grainy UTube video thing etc. but I like what I saw in this video - don't know a great deal about him..

And an even better one from his time at Cheltenham to follow.

This kid has a seriously impressive scoring ratio

He clearly knows where the goal is. If we were to sign him though, I'm not sure he'd be ready to go from Isthmian League, to League Two to the Premier League in 2 seasons. He'd definitely be a bit more of a project but certainly an interesting proposition.

Thanks for links Bob, must admit I knew little or nothing about him other than JS quips about his surname! From the links although he is primarily right footed his left peg is none to shoddy either. These showreels can often be deceptive however! I would guess if move does materialise he'll be one for the squad.

Nice one TOBW, seem to remember a Mr Vardy doing the same at a lower level .

[Taunton Blue Genie]

Exeter's Hiram Boateng looks like a decent player in the lower divisions.

Could have had him for £200k a few months back, now being linked with Portsmouth, Leeds & Sunderland for £1.5M !!!!

Very talented & way too good for League 2

Only 3 days later, that's good for me Des!

However, the way the rate of his fee is increasing from a few months back to now suggests he may be out of our price range within a few weeks anyway!

If he was that good, why didn't Charlton Athletic sign him up, when he was playing literally next door to them for Greenwich Borough?

I've seen him a couple of times for Cheltenham this year and he's very different to Zahore / Madine. Very quick & direct, likes taking players on in the box. If they're looking for another Vardy, he's got loads of potential. Even at £1.5M & £5k / week he's worth considering

Vardy was released by Sheff. Weds & then pottered around in non-league for 9 years.

I stopped taking YouTube videos seriously shortly after we signed Cornelius

[GL1Blue]

I've seen him a couple of times this season, as Des Pareot said he's very quick and direct. He was the stand out player who looked too good for league two the twice I've seen him play.

Could be a really good signing, reasonably small gamble on what is a very good prospect.

Really wouldn't be disappointed to see him sign.

I stopped taking Youtube seriously when there was a natural cure for Malaria involving Gin, beetroot and and some weird plant found in the congo. I woke up in a strange hotel room in Arua, Uganda, two days after taking the remedy with a nasty cut on my leg, full on malaria and a Chinese guy feeding me herbal tea.

I'd like to see him sign, offers something a bit different.
