Wylan Cyprien - Possible Jan Transfer?

This seems to be getting a bit of traction about the place - seems sufficiently random that there might be something in it and worth it's own thread.

 

Short story - used to play under Puel so we think we might have a chance - Atletico also interested. Having a blinding season for Nice at the moment and enjoying life at the top of the table.

 

I guess he would be a potential Davo replacement down the line - adding a bit more attacking flair to our midfield 3 which is currently a bit too defensive in my opinion.

Why not.

Oh goody, another midfielder ...

 

I actually think that's what we are missing (along with a goal scorer). Davis aside, we've not really got anyone who can break into the box and has got a bit of attacking flair in our midfield 3.

think 27k fans understand this but 1k haven't a clue exactly what we need and have needed for 3 or 4 years

If Nice are currently top of their league why would they start to dismantle their team at this stage of the season ? Unless they are in financial turmoil, or the player throws a strop and sulks to leave of course.

 

Nice normally do their dis-mantling at the end of the season by losing their coach & best players.

 

They are like our French Cousin.

Replace 'Nice' with 'Saints' and 'top of their league' with any of our record breaking finishing positions and you're onto something.

If he can score goals then yes as none of our current midfield seems capable of it, if we can sign this player & another quality striker than we will be alright...... if we sign no one in the trasfer than i cant see us finishing in the top ten even, Bournemouth game aside we generally don't score enough goals

Are you aware how daft all of that is? We have scored enough goals to be 7th after 17 games. It would be nice if we scored more, but it is possible with a defence as good as ours for us to still finish high despite not scoring many. A 1-0 win gives as many points as a 4-1 win.

Presumably you'd agree though that the margins of success are much wider and more secure with a 4-1 win than a 1-0 win, so it's better to aspire to the former rather than rely on the latter?

I'd think we have more than enough midfielders anyway. This one is probably no better or no worse than those we have already.

Ligue 1 is a bit of a substandard affair anyway. Even serial failures like Balotelli and Falcao look good in it. Look at that bloke Sunderland bought from Bordeaux last winter, Wabi Khazri or something...what's he done since?
