French Trialist Striker - Florian Ankoue (4 Viewers)

[better days]

Any evidence of any of that at all?

It was discussed at length on this forum at the time
Robins made reference to it at the time without naming anyone

When we had Nazon. He was "typicality French" Also spoke a little English.

Both him and Max got finned for talking in French not English at training.

If his guy can play and score in League 1 than happy days.

Sounds painful, was it with a shark?

Sorry.....

What's yellow and dangerous?

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

No real problem with that, do have a slight problem with that being equated to being 'typically French'. What next? Typically Spanish for going to sleep at half time? Typically German for being ruthlessly efficient yet boring, if slightly sinister? Typically Australian for always being drunk? Typically Austrian for building a cellar under his house and imprisoning a family member...?

Typically Venetian for always steering gondola's down canals whilst singing about ice creams?

To After the love has gone, Earth Wind and Fire chorus,

And oh, after Ankoue has scored
And after the crowd has roared
City will score some more.
Oh, after Ankoue has scored
And City fans hearts have soared
We're going score some more.

What use if he can score in League 2? We got promoted, unless you missed that bit !

Can you tell the telegraph as well according to them "They currently ply their trade in league two" . They clearly missed it.

No it wasn't, everyone basically said Nazon was just greedy (inc. Robins), the only person who said he specifically chose not to pass to McNulty because he'd scored less goals than him was Dongo, who also said McNulty wasn't and never would be a goalscorer and Doyle wouldn't play 30+ games....

Dongo was an idiot and I should be made admin for my skillful removal of him from this forum.

I don't condone hitmen, not in public anyway.

Farndon wasn't very complimentary. Doubt he'll be here by the weekend.

Yes Farndon was very dismissive about him. Could be a smoke screen though?

 

[skybluedan]

In fairness the French are very sulky people in general. France is one of few places where the people will openly moan about you out loud in front of your face and not give a shit too.

Cultures are different, and Farndon has a point with what he is saying to be honest.

And there cunts

 

[skybluedan]

Depends with who you mix with I think. I have loads of German mates who are great fun, but I have certainly met a lot of German people who are extremely boring. There is one on this forum for instance! (Joke Mart).

I worked in a backpackers hostel in California for half a year and the Aussies we had there used to pack away the booze more than most other nations in fairness. Brits and Germans also pretty up there. A lot of the Australian girls there were massive sluts too... - That isn't relevant whatsoever but I thought I would include it!

It was relevant mate because when I settle down for me midnight wank I'm gonna search slutty Aussie backpacker lesbos

Shark infested custard!

if anyone can fit his name into a chant based on a 70s disco hit I'm in.

We’re just too good to be true,
We’ve got Florian Ankoue......

 

[Magwitch]

Be interesting if this comes to something only a youngster so fits into the number of young uns Robins has recruited

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

Shark infested custard!

Yay! A classic from those big tall joke books that you used to get when I was a kid. Mostly terrible puns. I had forgotten that gem until a drunk Regan and Carter said it in The Sweeney.

This one seems to have gone a bit quiet. Presume he's no longer on trial

If he was sulky when he was on trial what would he have been like once he'd got his contract? Non starter for me if he came in with a bad attitude.

 

[capel & collindridge]

Sulky or silky? An easy QWERTY mistake.

I've no quarrel with silky skills.

He bangs them in all day long,
Making City sing this song...

 

[covcity4life]

A trialist has to be outstanding to get a contract
Interesting that Farndon uses the word 'sulky' about him
Nazon was like that and had such a low opinion of McNulty he wouldn't pass to him in games
It was only after Robins told him he wouldn't play unless he started passing that he remembered it's a team game
Guys with that sort of attitude can be popular with fans if they score a spectacular goal because of their selfishness but poison for team spirit

That is made up in your head
