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
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.
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.
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.
