[Albion] Assan Ouedraogo Linked

[Vicar!]

Schalke midfielder is being linked on our UK channels. I have not been over this season to see him, but interesting as Bayern are as always sniffing around. https://www.forbes.com/sites/manuel...8LHeQzERRtbhQTWVOiBPbZJ-F7u3Y&sh=7afbfc2e48e9

Never heard of him but having read an article in Forbes (never knew they did football gossip!), get him in

6’4” at 17. Blimey.

Could be a good investment.

 

[Frutos]

Exactly the kind of player who I would expect to be on our radar, he's a serious talent.

 

[TomandJerry]

But can he play left back?

I'm a bit dubious about that.
For a start, it sounds like nonsense, but we'll brush over that because it could be true.
However, his Wikipedia page gives his height as 192cm (6' 4").
Now, 192cm is 6' 3.5". Fair enough, round it up. But the source they give actually states his height as 191cm. So somebody's just arbitrarily added a cm.

As an aside I'm 6'2", and I know that because I was measured in a hospital the other day. The number of people I meet who are clearly much shorter than me but insist
"no you must be at least 6'4", I'm 6'1"
and I have to break it to them that they're not the strapping 6footer they imagine themselves to be is ridiculous.

This has the makings of a tremendous hill to die on.

Might be a hill to you, from my height it's only a mound*.

Assan Oudraogo Linked? That must be the longest name in football. The club shop are rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of selling shirts with his name on - 19 characters = £££££££

I don't care if he is 6' 4" or 9' 4", is he a talented footballer? that is by far the most imporetant question.

 

[The Fits]

Incredible on FM.

 

[US Seagull]

I was excited:

Plus, there have been some injury concerns. Ouédraogo struggled with hamstring issues ahead of the tournament and then suffered a syndesmotic ligament tear.

And now I'm slightly less so. Don't need another sicknote.

The kid is 17. Probably a little bit early to be writing him off as injury-prone.

At 17 he's still growing. Could be 193 by next Tuesday.

No where near as tumescent as Johannes Vennegoor of Hesselink

At 17, his body will still be developing. There's plenty of sports men and women who've been injury prone as late-teens, early-twenties who gone on to have long and fruitful careers with very few injuries. That's why, for example, young fast bowlers in cricket have limits on how many overs they can bowl

But can he play left back?

If only a certain Chichester poster were around to give us the answer...
