Doesn't look like a kante type battler and doesn't look like a man who can pick it up from the back and make play. He just looks OK. Who knows though

We have no idea how good he is.
He's a defensive midfielder and that's what we need.
So if he signs we need to give him a chance.
It sounds like a good deal with the 2 young lads going out on loan too.
What's not to like?

Right now I just think we need someone who knows how to sit in front of the back 4 and defend and do a decent job. We don't currently have anyone who can do that. Providing he's not totally useless and has those attributes he'd make us into a significantly better unit. For me it would make that much of a difference.

We have no cups to play for, I don't think we'll get dragged into a relegation battle, so give him a go. The same goes for N'Goy and Verlinden though too. There is no excuse now to give these lads a go.

Hadn't Eddy L recently had a trail with crewe for a loan move ..

A couple of comments under the story in their local paper....
I have subscribed to the asc for years and I am disgusted that we lose Jonathan Tihan our best scorer and Guessouma Fofana the lungs of the midfield this proves once again the lack of ambition of Amiens!
The second part is going to be catastrophic without them!

Could be a hidden gem. Could be a Hauguard. Yep; we don't know. Just to give us some stability until the end of the season I'd like us to bring in a couple of experienced DMs. Loan signings of Lucas from Liverpool and Fernando from Man City - if we could get them - would be perfect.

TP would do it out of spite Yes probably, just to destabilize a seemingly smooth transfer, especially where Stoke are concerned, if it is us Fofana is allegedly heading for.

I struggle to have any faith what so ever with our scouting and recruitment teams. Why? Other clubs have far more "failures", e.g. Newcastle, Liverpool spent £300,000 with Rogers, ManU waste £10ms almost every year. We have bought Afellay, Allen, Grant, Arni (took time to settle). Imbula has not worked out and it is the loaned players than generally are not committed enough, Indi being an exception.
