[Albion] Baghdad Bounedjah

Interesting.
Among previous top scorers in Qatar, there's Youssef Al-Arabi who got 42 league goals in 64 appearances for Olympiakos since leaving Qatar, as well as 11 goals in CL/EL, so its obviously possible (though for sure not guaranteed) to go from top scorer in Qatar to quite decent in Europe.

“By the end of 2018, Bounedjah managed to beat several stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the world's top scorer after reaching goal 58, including 29 in Qatar Stars League this season, 10 last season in the same competition, 13 in the Champions League and 7 with the Algerian team.”
‘Baghdad Basil’ is definitely an early contender for his nickname should this strange rumour come to anything.

The goalkeeper in the first clip absolutely shat himself when he realised it was a half decent corner and our man was in the box.
I've never seen such fear from a goalie.
I'm team bounedjah already.

He scored 7 in one league game, so maybe the league is not that competitive.

If they lost 4-3 he needs to have an Albion scarf above his head by lunchtime.
I didn't beat you to the edit, I just re-edited back in your comment so I didn't miss out on the joke!

Where does the Qatar stars league rank in the divisions of the world?
Be surprised to sign this lad when we have Gyokeres coming back who tore up the Championship this year

I don't have time to do the lyrics but something based on this has potential:
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old granddad
Had to sweat to buy, oh-woah
Hits the woodwork five times in that video.
Should fit right in
I'm glad someone else pointed that out, I stopped watching after the third time.

Like the idea of getting a 29 year old who already knows their game rather than another 18 year old who won't be scoring for years.
180cm so not massive

Surprised we’re in for him to be honest. Questionable experience at elite level, 29, which whilst not old does mean he’s already peaked, and from a league probably on par with league one at best.
I will of course 100% support the lad and would be delighted for him to be a huge success… but I’d be lying if I said I was impressed with this signing.

I have seen him play against Iranian teams in the Asian Champions League. Would be very surprised if this is true.
He's definitely one of the best if not the best Striker currently playing for an Asian team, but certainly not EPL level. Doesn't have the pace or the intelligence required. Also got to keep in mind his numbers in the Qatar league are more of a reflection of the terrible defending and commonality of lob-sided scoreline in that league.
Wouldn't spend more than 6 Mil on him.
