Thanks for that. I was worried about losing José and the fact Pied is only 5ft 8in tall.
Started as a winger (can play both sides) but converted to a full-back by Puel when he took over at Nice.
Adds versatility to the squad, is a player that the manager knows and gives us more bodies for the EL campaign. Can’t complain!

Is he the French Cuco Martina? Just the 2 year contract…doesn’t exactly scream “we have confidence in you son” does it.
We usually look to renew contracts with two years remaining so perhaps they’ll announce exciting news later this week that he’s signed an extended deal…
Oh well. On a positive note that’s one more person ahead of Yoshida in the right back pecking order. Yay
Although every source seems to be saying he is primarily a RB, this site says he played most of his games as RW (although lists him as a RB)
http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremy-pied/leistungsdaten/spieler/60583
He’s even played 3 games as CF. the only positions he hasn’t played are LM and CB.
And Morgan told him we are the tops too. Sob
Ah the old Danny Butterfield replacement then.
And does this mean don’t really need Lloyd Isgrove?
Duh?
Well, obviously we can only give him a 2 year contract.
As it will only take that long for you lot to BREXIT & then you’re going to have to throw all the post-vote bloody foreigners out…

Well, as wingbacks seem important to Claude’s style of play, it sort of makes some sense, but I’d worry what it says about Cuco, Cedric, Valery and rest of the youth.
Claude doesn’t seem to play traditional wingers, so he’s here as a right back / wingback, so that says to me that we’re either losing someone or someone is going to cover the left side.
Who is Valery?

Yann Valery is a young right back who played a lot on the Dutch tour.

Oh, and Valery is French too, so I had (wrongly?) assumed that he’d be given a chance to impress.
We’ve also got Jake Flanagan coming back to fitness soon. (hopefully) and he’d pushed his way into first team chances when he got injured.
Also, I’m assuming Pied wasn’t thrown up by the Black Box, so this appears to be another block to the youth and mirrors the way Koeman operated.
Well he hasn’t joined as a translator…
Like the way he’s talking. Confident and aggressive.
Roland Rat follows him on twitter
I couldnt even lip read that.
He’ll give up quickly.
I know Pied well from my days goat-herding in the Pyrenees and can confirm he is a very generous and sensitive lover.

I was asking if we’d be getting a new RB just the other day as well. I know nothing about this player except what I’ve learned in the past 24 hours. Not too many risks. The language barrier is one, but something he’ll quickly overcome. Plenty of players have made the successful transition from Ligue 1 to the Prem, and Puel obviously trusts him.
You just like him because his name is Jeremy.
Before you know it he’ll be getting pulled out of position, playing way over on the left, dismantling our army, spitting in the face of the queen and cosying up to terrorists.
