The Real Saints Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 It has never made sense that Adama Sidibeh is surrounded by so much transfer hype on a daily basis, while his younger strike partner seems to be attracting no interest whatsoever despite possessing a better goalscoring record and being a more technically gifted footballer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he's more technically gifted, but he does look faster and fitter and seems to get more involved.

I'd say he is. Adama is raw and direct and exciting to watch because of that, but I don't think he'd be capable of contributing to that quick-thinking passage of play which led to our penalty. Adama can play off the shoulder really well, but I think Kimpioka can also do that whilst possessing a footballing brain and dizzying footwork. In short, I'm in love.

Kyle Posted August 13 Author Share Posted August 13 If anyone hits his release clause he'll go. It's pretty clear that's what his agent is angling for. We got him for buttons in January and he's played 21 games. I think the money we're going to get won't reflect his potential but the clause will have got him in the door, he (and Mitov) essentially saved us last season. It's been a really worthwhile bit of business that Levein and the club deserve enormous credit for. If he goes soon, we'll have plenty of time to reinvest in positions where we're short and hopefully find someone who can fill at least some of the slack he'd leave behind. Given what Levein has been able to bring in on a shoestring, you just have to trust he can manage it again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been approximately 1000 Sidibeh rumours in the last few weeks, and interviews with the man himself where he seems to express the belief that his agent will fly him away from here ASAP and transport him to a top Championship side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSJ.84 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Timely article from Nicolson. Nothing about Sidibeh since Swansea’s interest, release clause is over £500k and a new contract is on the table for him. Your move, Pete. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brainwashed is probably not the right word necessarily but without googling do you know anything about the subject and his agent? Let's just say... He's got a bad track record Edited August 13 by SJFCtheTeamForMe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not on Saints TV as far as i know, the co commentator is certainly not at the game tonight and its a smaller media team than normal travelling. East Fife might have a stream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Sidibehs agent is a scummy, money grabbing, c**t. He's 100% the wrong person to represent Sidibeh if he wants to actually reach the level he could, but you can see why someone desperate to reach the top as quickly as possible would end up with someone like that as their agent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this is spot on. In hindsight, there was the same pish when he moved to us. Let's be honest, if there was an opportunity to go to Saints or the English championship, there is not a hope in hell he'd choose to come here. Probably the same for league one too. The argument was that he was too old and raw for them, but not buying that. If that was actually the case, they'd have spent the peanuts on him and put him straight out on loan to prove himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not crying about his agent because of this m8, McKay is the agent who put Emiliano Sala on a buckshee flight, on a dodgy plane, that led to his death, and then followed that up by continuously harassing and threatening Cardiff staff members to try and drop the court case against him. He's a c**t. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
