Vahid Hambo signs 2 year deal

[Pevenseagull]

Cherif Diallo anyone?

Do you realty need to ask ? How many "promising youngsters" have been scouted, brought in from abroad, and then gone on to do something ? ANYTHING ? Off the top of my head the ones I can recall even getting much of a 1st team runout were Battipiedi (14 games) and Baz (7). Then there's Bergkamp, Agustein and probably several more who arrived and duley sank without a trace.

Foreign import or otherwise, the DS has systematically failed to produce a forward of any note, ever. That's nothing new at BHA though, its always been the case for some reason. I'll be absolutely STUNNED if "Hambo" bucks the trend, and I hope I am. But I have grave doubts...

He's 6"4', foreign, has long flowing locks and is presumable CHEAP. What's not to like?

Oh God. How could I forget all of that!?!?

Looking at sites that are subject to updating on an ad-hoc basis by Joe Soap and anyone else who cares (or more appropriately forgets) to do so can't really qualify as independent research or at least not sufficient to counter the stats provided by his club, Inter Turku.
More valid might be a concern over the strength of a league that seems to play games indoors in what looks like a concrete shed.

On the contrary - Soccerway is a very professionally run website by the Perform Group - it details every senior appearance down to the last detail - and outlines exactly how many minutes this guy has played in genuine competition. http://uk.soccerway.com/players/vahid-hambo/214138/ Also fails to mention any appearances at Under-21 level, but does mention Under 17 and under 19.

Finland U21 2 (3)

It's worth noting that our new U21 striker played 5 Senior Club games in 2014, followed by 6 Senior Club games in 2015 - According to Wiki. No idea on how many Youth games were played.

Welcome to Brighton Vahid Hambo! As a gift we'd like to give you a free lap dance on us...

Is this our new strategy for attracting players to the club?

 

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

I question the wisdom of the club to send official texts through to the fans and pre-tweet of the 'incoming' new arrival when they sign someone such as this so close to the start of the season when the fanbase is baying for that big name signing who is going to fire us to the promised land.
This chap isn't THAT signing and Hambo should have been announced in conjunction with whoever is next to be signed (for the player's sake as well as the club's)

Great to have a youngster like this on board. Big lad with potential is just what the Development Squad is all about but all the promotional bells and whistles from the club are a bit of a p*ss take really.

 

[Taybha]

Get shot of Dunk and give Hambo number 5 !!!

 

[Wellesley]

He's young , big, fast, angry and he knows where the net is. I reckon he'll tear league one apart for us next season.

 

[Diablo]

Fingers Crossed.....Signing a striker good news....If he`s any good at puting the ball in the net it`s bloody good news

 

[crabface]

Anything is better than Leon Best

 

[Juan Albion]

Sorry, we are NOT selling him to Leeds.

 

[fat old seagull]

I guess what you're saying is you want a proper striker - like Zamora - and none of this Hambo Mumbo Jumbo Namby Pamby bollocks?

Corrected for you........


Hambo Mumbo Jumbo Namby Pamby Bongo bollocks !

The 'Breaking Transfer News' e-mail is utterly pointless as well for a DS player.

Bravo

Leeds?

 

[John Bumlick]

Who could it be?

Can we assume George Kane is feeling a little under sexed at this point?

 

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

But apparently he's not a DS player.
Maybe to secure his signature, we had to promise him he'll be part of the 1st team squad. Or maybe the DS is a bit toppy on numbers already......
