He was good on footy manager WD so I can see where You're coming from! Never seen him play. Thats why I can't understand some already saying "I don't think he's good enough". I don't imagine he's any worse than Mama Sidibe though. Has anyone said that? I'm just erring on the side of caution as people seem to think he's the dogs bollocks and he could well be but it's not that cut and dried imo.

Didn't we sign a striker from a top Italian team once before ? Just a word of warning before we all get hard-ons about a player most of us have never heard of

I dunno if he's the bollocks mate, none of us can say that really, but he is the right age, he's quick, got an eye for goal and has got something that both Inter and Lazio have seen, plus he's mentioning us and not us him.... Well worth a look before someone else jumps in...2 year deal wouldn't be the end of the world i don't think...

He is definitely worth a look for the right money. People seemed to getting a bit carried away though.

We've come a long away in a short period of time.
Some people have short memories. It wasn't long ago that it was Dave Disco from The Dog With Two Dicks issuing "come and get me plea's" to us.
We now have an Inter Milan player wanting to join us and already we have people saying "I don't think he's good enough for us" etc etc.
It is a funny place, this board, at times.

sign him up tone, a big step in the right direction if we start taking inter milan players, he sounds good too. i'll beleive that we are seriously interested in a foreign player though when he signs. he sounds genuinely interested to join, what are the odds on us hanging on until the last minute to try and save a few bucks and he fucks off to someone else?

Sign him up, the only realistic transfer rumour i've heard that would be exciting.

Sounds more like a plea to get his name into the UK press to let prem teams know he is available then hope a big club comes in for him. When it doesn't happen he can at least get a couple of prem teams in a biding war for him.
Just doesn't seem to be how I normally hear about Stoke targets.

He does say he wants to play week in week out though, and I can't see that happening at a bigger club.

he's a good young player exactly the kind that pulis likes but he's got a bit of pace and talent though although i heard a rumour he has struggled at top level he's good against smaller teams but useless against any kind of competent defence he's done alright in italy but there are a lot more talented defences in england however he is young he will develop and it definitely would be a good move for the squad he says he wants to come
p.s on wikipedia a section has already been added for stoke city doubt they know anything but i've never seen it before for just a link

I follow Sampdoria quite a lot as my Italian team (my Ma n Pa bought me the strip when I was young!) and so I watch Serie A a fair bit. Seen Obinna a few times and this lad would be ideal for us. Bags of pace and usually an end product. There has to be some reason why Inter signed him and he wont get a look in there this season. Definitely a "come and get me" comment. Will we act on it quickly? Probably not! We bloody should though! ;D Got to be a reason why Juve signed Pericard, but did we ever see it?

He sounds like a Pulis dream, a 6 foot tall right winger who scores goals. I suppose he could potentially fill the gap that's been left by Lawrence on the right hand side and I hope he'd prove to be a good signing. Nearly a goal every other game at Chievo is pretty good, although that'd depend on where he was playing I suppose. 9 goals for a team in a foreign country isn't too bad either.
He's a bit of a gamble, but I like the sound of him. It's just a shame that none of us know an awful lot about him.

Fuller's getting on. We desperately need a similiar player to him, and SOON! Fuller scored 4 last season, but is by far and away our most influential player, certainly the most important to our style of play.
This guy is only 22, and i think he's the closest thing to Fuller we could get.
Anything under 6 million, and we'd be stupid not to go for him, people must be forgetting that he's only 22, he could be a top player.

And it was only 4 last season not the 9 that wiki is suggesting. Indeed and just because he's pulled on an Inter shirt a few times, isn't going to get me jumping up and down demanding his signature.

just in case any of u were watching the world cup he was actually in that he played 3 games which i know isn't a great insight but it was enough to pass judgement on him
also he appears to be good on fifa and footy manager and they must get they're stats from somewhere ;D

I'm a Malaga season ticket holder and saw alot of him last year.As said he is very quick and strong,i liked him as he is exciting to watch but he wasn't really rated by many Malaga fans,he bombs down the wing alot ,with his head down,and usually runs it out of play ;D
