Skamp Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 He's in for a right shock. From Paris, Messi, Mbappe to Sheffield and our lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 I'm quite looking forward to seeing what this lad can do. Of course he's not going to be anything like the finished article and there will be times when we have to 'forgive' his mistakes, but to see the likes of Poch, and some of the world renowned names that in some cases WERE at PSG says quite a lot of what he could be capable of.

HoylandOwl Posted August 15, 2023 Author Share Posted August 15, 2023 No, Gassama is not an established name in world football. Of course not, he wouldn't be signing for us if he was. But it's quite refreshing to see us dealing with the likes of AC Milan and PSG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellsview Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Didn’t realise he’d actually made an appearance for PSG’s first team, even if it was from the bench. To perform at that level and in that side, especially at such a young age, is an achievement in itself. Welcome to Hillsborough Djeidi Gassama! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have been just 18 or so too, was courted by European giants such as Liverpool and Dortmund, not forgetting Wolves. It's a calculated risk by the club but one look on social media and the usual dickheads are out. I think our cosmopolitan strategy on transfers will help as we have people coming in with him that are also settling into the city and English football, there are several French speakers at the club which will help him integrate. Can hopefully see him and Musaba dovetailing beautifully on the lush Hillsborough turf. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelinblue Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Sorry for being the voice of reason. I hope he is a great player for us. He played once as a sub for a big club. (remember - a Fiat with a Bentley badge on it, is still a Fiat) then got sent to the Belgian league, then he joined us. There are dozens and dozens of players who have been on the books at large clubs who never achieve what was once anticipated, loads never even get a career out of football and drop into non-league.

I know what you’re saying. But I’m hoping for something a little exciting from him. If he loses the ball a bit, so what, let’s have a player who when he drives forward with the balls gets us up off our seat. As much as it’s good to see teams keep possession, it’s much more exciting to see a player play without fear and have a proper go.

The thing is we have got players who can carry the ball, but not like a 'proper winger' if you know what I mean. It FEELS like we've not had one for so bloody long too.

Gamblor Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I really don’t see what the downside is here. No one has said we’ve signed a world beater, but those highlights on YouTube are the best I’ve seen in a long time for one of our signings. He’s on a free and if we end up paying a fee then it’s because things have gone very well. It’s also important to remember that when you bring in players to develop, some won’t work out, but that doesn’t mean your strategy is bad. I’m very much looking forward to seeing Gassama play, particularly when Musaba is also on the pitch and finding out how good those two can be. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellsview Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Sell on fee has been agreed with PSG as well I understand, so they’re not exactly expecting him to be a flop, otherwise why bother building it into the deal? Im really looking forward to seeing this youngster in a SWFC shirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
