' Cardiff City bid £7mill? '

24 and captain of his club, 12 caps for one of the world cup dark horses he even played in their last friendly, 57 goals over last 3 seasons in a good league (105 games - better than 1 in 2)........but not good enough for some???

Purely, we must trust Solskjaer when it comes to selecting a striker! We could hardly do worse than trust his judgement!

I don't know if there is any strength in this rumour but the guys stats look good. Also if you look at the youtube clips he's getting some seriously good service from the right winger, maybe we should be after him

SIGN HIM UP!

His record doesn't look very good, we need a bit more firepower than that a proven premiership goal scorer!!!

100 in 240 isnt very good? A goal every 2.4? I would say thats very good myself

Sorry mate Ronaldo or Messi are not available if its a goal per game youre after.

I know it baffles me what some people expect ..............

From what I've read and seen of him - he looks like a player that fits well into Ole's game very well - always seem to find that perfect position - seems to read the game very well.

Not sure how much I'll put my stock into the story though yet - I'm more of believe when I see the official statement from the club kinda guy - but I wouldn't be upset paying 7mil for him at all.

Bit out of date but...

The young player, 21 y.o. and 1.80m tall, is suceeding in Belgian first Division (Jupiler Pro League) in KRC Genk.
Jalle Vossen was born in Bilzen, a small town (population: 30,000) at the East of Belgium and near to Genk. There he began to play football, and soon moved to the young levels of KRC Genk. In 2009-10 season he was on loan in Cercle Brügge, where he scored 7 goals in 22 games. These good numbers earned him to stay as player in KRC Genk first team for the current season 2010-11 and is now when he is breaking all good expectations that had to close it: Jalle Vossen is whopping 17 goals in only 13 games played with the Genk (13 in Jupiler Pro League, 4 in Europe League). But let's go to know what kind of player is Vossen: in my opinion, this belgian is a second striker or attacking midfield (although people there is talk of him as a centre forward, actually he wears number 9 shirt from the Genk). When we see him playing we note that where he hurt is on arrival from second line or emerging from back of a classic number 9. He's a player that shines through his intelligence and his opportunism as well as for its quality and blood cold in defining. Vossen is quick to shoot and always choose the most sensible way, since in the auction are not entertains: he receives and normally at the first touch he shoot according to the occasion (he knows break ball when he need it or placing ball subtly beyond where will not reach any goalkeeper). He not abused never touch, he defines quickly on a first or as much with oriented beforehand. In counterattacks we´ll see him at second-line supporting to create the play, and he only tread box closer to the time for shoot.
It is true that the way of playing current of the KRC Genk also is helping much him achieve these figures. The Genk is betting for style where all the players are well coordinated attacking and constantly moving, opening gaps for second lines, and achieving combinations in one or two touches turning crazy opposing defenses. Vossen waits here as a predator on the edge of the offside or smelling outside the box where go the reject. Vossen may be only a player that is having its moment of glory, or an unrepeatable streak, but we appreciated intelligence in movements and a coldness of face to the framework that he can take much advantage for success in major leagues. Therefore he will be a player which will not bring game in static, nor dribbling or overflow. He will succeed in a big club that play attacking style full team or he can play behind a classic number nine, always as a second striker.
Jelle Vossen has already debuted with the national team of Belgium (2 games) and wore the t-shirt U21 seven times. Just renewed until 2015 with the KRC Genk and his price was recently on EUR 2 million but it is rising hour by hour... I see this player in German Bundesliga soon.

So this guy looks like his best suited position is as a second striker/attacking midfielder where he creates and scores kind of like michu. From what I've read this is how solsjkaer likes to play so would be ideal to fill this position as he clearly knows where the net is and is a goalscorer. SIGN HIM UP!

lets hope we can get him

No truth to this imo, just the usual transfer speculation.

if we got him, i would be very surprised.
he may be tempted by the prem, but i think hes a little out our league.

Is this a rumour then or is there any progression on the situation?

His record doesn't look very good, we need a bit more firepower than that a proven premiership goal scorer!!!

100 in 240 isnt very good? A goal every 2.4? I would say thats very good myself

Sorry mate Ronaldo or Messi are not available if its a goal per game youre after.

I know it baffles me what some people expect ..............

Fantastic record

Whenever I start a new game on FM, no matter the league, I always try to sign this guy first thing I do. And this thread is proving just why; he's way underrated outside of Belgium.

Of course, FM and reality are different things, but I am 101% sure that there are thousands of worse ways you can blow £7M for one player who's valued in that range.

Reports on Twitter/Fb ?

Middlesbrough bid £5m for 24 year old striker Jelle vossen but was rejected, Cardiff City have offered £7m and the bid has been accepted

He has scored 11 goals this season and picked up 4 yellow cards.
Aston Villa were interested in him in the summer his nickname in Belgium is ‘the new Christian Benteke’. He a free scoring striker.

I think if there was any truth to this we'd have heard a lot more about it.

One word for 7million.... Finnbogson

TWO Words for 7 million .... JORDAN RHODES ( And give them Tommy Smith or AN Other )
