Rudy could be another Bassong.

Mon Jul 25, 2011 10:30 am

Bassong signed for Newcastle Utd after a trial from Metz for just £500,000.

At the end of the season Newcastle Utd sold him to Spurs for ten million!

Or he can turn out shit. Don't be overoptimistic, it's stupid. We have no idea who this guy is.

Could be a City legend in the making, certainly took his goal well in spain, would love an unknown to burst onto the season at city, lets hope hes not another ferretti, redan, byrne etc

I'm not writing him off, I honestly have no idea what do expect from him, so I'm not expecting anything, just like you all should. I don't think he's gonna play a lot this season, IMO more likely he will get loaned to L1 or weak Championship side, if we sign more strikers

I'm extremely happy with everything except Miller's deal.

Re: Rudy could be another Bassong.

Mon Jul 25, 2011 10:48 am

LOL at Qtard.

So f*cking dumb that he even tries to claim he is not negative and only claims he is uphappy with the Miller deal on thread where he has been negative.

negative? I'm not negative at all in this thread. I didn't say he was shit, I didn't say it was a bad signing, another "nerd" type guy who just thinks he is always right.

Just because you don't expect does not mean any of us should feel the same fella.

You have to take some optimism from the goal against Charlton. He took the goal very well.

Francis Jeffers, Neil Mellor etc also had great finishes. Anyways, he is complete unknown, he hasn't played for Metz senior team, on FM he isn't terrible (FM is the best scout for guys like him). Friendlies mean shit, noone should care about them at all. I can't wait to see him in Championship tho, Frenchies always have bags of talent, but their attitude...

this is a thread about Gestede.

Earnie is a good signing, not the best, but good, I mean nobody argues about him.

Re: Rudy could be another Bassong.

Mon Jul 25, 2011 10:56 am

On FM......

I rest my case.

Re: Rudy could be another Bassong.

Mon Jul 25, 2011 10:58 am

i was goiong to look him up on FM then i remembered im in 2038..... his managing career may also be over !!

i think earnie is still on form, will be a great imoact player and has 3 good years left atleast.

gestede to be my player of the year !! his attributes are what we need

Re: Rudy could be another Bassong.

Mon Jul 25, 2011 11:00 am

He has played for Metz.

Qtard strikes again!

Well yeah, he did, that was a fail, but your arguments are amazing.

Have you seen him play? Are you aware that scouts @ FM are much, much smarter than you are? They watch B team games every week and can make ery accurate assesements about players, lol @ saying that FM is bad indication of unknown players abilities. By saying "didn't play" I mean he definitely didn't establish himself in starting squad, 32 games in 4 years isn't really playing in senior squad, also considering they were in Ligue 2 by then.

That's my opinion about him, and I'm always happy to see people pissed off on the internets over nothing

Re: Rudy could be another Bassong.

Mon Jul 25, 2011 11:14 am

Rudy is Rudy , how can he be conpareed to a £10m player ??? Does not make sense

My lad plays staurdays , he could be the next Messi in 5 years time and be worth £100m

Re: Rudy could be another Bassong.

Compared in the sense that Newcastle Utd fans didn't have high hopes from a player that was signed for Metz after a trial.

Trail players tend to be signed for a low wages and a low fee. I don't see Rudy as a gamble, but it could turn out to be a magic signing.

Bassong did better than defenders that cost a total of 20 million.

You can find a gem and Bassong HLs that.

Let's hope Rudy is another Metz gem like Bassong.

Can't believe there is some nutter who thinks that you can judge someone by how good they are on FM :lol: :lol:

Another comparison is the deluded pricks weve got supporting us these days are reminiscent of the Geordies.

Re: Rudy could be another Bassong.

Mon Jul 25, 2011 12:40 pm

How is the comparison unfair??

he compared the fact that a player came from metz on trail to a british club and after one season turned out the be excellent business.


gestede is coming on trail from metz ( the comparison) and he is hoping he has similar fortune.

its hardly tough to see where he is coming from....

I wouldn't base my opinion on a football game (no matter how well scouted it is) and especially not wikipedia. I wouldn't base an opinion on either as both are as unreliable as the other.

Im personally waiting until I see him play with my own eyes
