How good is this Nicolas?

[Seagull over SW France]

How long does it take to decide if we want an under 21 international and ex chelsea reserve captain on a free.
Is it the old wage chestnut again?

 

[smudge]

Sign him up!!!!

 

[Normandy seagull]

could get better and better as he progresses

 

[b.w.2.]

Not convinced we need a player who MM says is like Charlie Oatway...

Surely we do if he is better, which is what i keep reading?...

 

[Marshy]

sign him

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

I say sign him...

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

He has the tenacity of Oatway, if not the tackle, but is technically better, quicker, and looks for the best pass. Could be good for us

Well, definitely need to strengthen the midfield but, as has been said on here aprroximately a million times, what we really need to do is enhance our midfield's creativity... will Nicolas do that?... haven't seen him play, so can't really pass judgement... but MM seems to be saying that he is a different kind of player... a ball-winner, and makes simple passes...

Not sure... resources are obviously very scarce... at this time, I would most like to see us loan a striker... we just don't have enough cover with Leon suspended and McPhee injured...

I second that.

I think he still has to prove he can bring everything into his game and play well at this level though.

He looks alright but he's not midfield general. He comes across as a bit light weight.

On last nights performance he makes simple passes and hounds the opposition for the ball - without actually getting a foot in.

Obviously haven't seen him yet but would love to see a bit of strength in depth and competition for places in midfield.
Oatway, harty and piercy all well and good but maybe new young faces will shake them up and put a few rockets up a few arses

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

He played for chelski last year so that must say something with all there world class players in there squad

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i was impressed with his last night, his passing was good(mostly simple), he gets a foot in, and has great awareness(he knows when he has time rather than relying on people to tell him)

and indeed you will, sir.

 

[B.M.F]

Although he has been released I thought Chelsea still owned him and thus we would be liable for compensation as he is under 24 ?

We'd get him on loan.
