Modibo Maiga

Is this our new forward

I fukin hope not it was only today me and a west ham fan in work was saying how shit he is

He is not shit at all. Yes, I agree he was poor at West Ham, but he hardly got many chances did he? I mean you could probably count the amount of starts he had on one hand.no matter how good a striker is, if he is not get much game time, then of course he's going to go off the boil and lose confidence. Look at Guerra here, he hasn't been given a chance when he should be playing every week for us. He went on loan to Malaga last season and because he had not been playing for us here, when he did go back to Spain, he struggled a bit. It just didn't work out for Maiga in the Premiership. He would be a great signing for a Championship team, I have no doubts that he would score a good few in this league. He just needs to build his confidence back up and if he could do that with us in the Championship then it would definitely be beneficial to us. I saw him playing for Sochaux in France when he was full of confidence and he was really good there. He had a couple of good outings for West Ham, not many but I still think he could be a hit in this country. He's strong, fast, powerful, good in the air, can hold the ball up well and he would score goals in this division. Sometimes strikers go to a club and it just doesn't work for them there and then they leave to go to another club and they regain their confidence and start scoring goals regularly again. Just like what has happened with Adam Le Fondre for us.

Sounds like a good signing if we can pull it off

Yeah just pull any name out of any team & Slade will go get him.

I did say IF mate, just stating that if he was to come, then i believe he would do a decent job. Apologies for discussing a rumor that someone has started on here. If you look there's lots about on here

Lamboy whats ur source pal? Is he genuinely linked to us?

No credible sources, but he's been asking questions to one of our players about the club apparently. My guess is Manga or even KTC. This is purely fantalk but I've heard he's been contacted about a possible season long loan deal

I don't see us signing any strikers now that Kenwyne is staying.

Great. Soon as kenwynne was out of the side and at bournemouth last season we started winning. Lazy waste of space in the team

I agree he is lazy and on stupid money and can score goals we just have to put up with him for another season.

He went out on loan to qpr the yr they went up and couldn't get a game there either a big no from me

The problem to the front two is the issue before replacing those upfront who we can't rate as they have no service

True, but he was fighting it out with Charlie Austin, Bobby Zamora, Andy Johnson, Kevin Doyle, Junior Hoilett and one or two other strikers, plus QPR only played with one striker up front all season and Austin was class for them. Maiga made 8 appearance for them, he started twice and the rest were subs appearances. He didn't exactly have a good run in the side, did he?? I don't think he can be judged by his brief stint in the Championship with QPR a few seasons ago, especially after he only started two games and made 6 sub appearances, in total. I think bringing him in on a season long loan, would be a good option for us.

I'm gna say I hope not again I just think we need someone who can score goals and he doesn't have a gr8 track record in English football so I'd give it a miss
