Clinton N'Jie SIGNED

I've said both of these things before in this thread but they keep coming up so I want to emphasize them:

1. "N'jie has no end product" - N'jie had more goals + assists per 90 min last season than ANY PLAYER IN FRANCE who doesn't start for PSG. Including Martial.

2. "Yeah but his stats are higher because he's just an impact player" - Out of 7 goals and 8 assists in the league, 6 goals and 4 assists came in the 15 games he started, almost all during his post-AFCON resurgence where he really started to prove himself and forced his way into the first team. His stats are markedly worse when he is played as an impact sub. And just so noone says "he only performs against shitty French teams", in 120 minutes against PSG he both scored and assisted.

I have no idea if he is the best player for us or not, haven't seen enough to say - but never before on this site have I seen a player thread so full of utter tosh, hearsay and bullshit. There are probably plenty of legitimate arguments both for and against this signing - but if literally all you know of him is from two youtube videos and a load of doom-mongering comments from a couple of SC posters determined to be miserable all the sodding time, then you don't know enough to have a meaningful opinion either.

The part in bold isn't true, Lacazette had more per 90.

Right I've done YouTube scouting and am actually quite excited by him, seems to have pace to burn and what I liked was he seemed to kee his head up and play clever early balls, think Kane will enjoy playing with him

ButchCassidy · Aug 13, 2015

You are correct sir. Apparently the stat I quoted was "expected goals and assists" which is somehow slightly different? Still, the fact that he is only slightly behind a player we all admit we have no chance of signing bodes very well for the lad.

Clearly all sorts of opinions flying around, and looks slightly raw, but the pace and unpredictable parts of his game are definitely something we are short of!

Anyone know what happened to the ITK thread from yesterday?! Was reading last night, and now it's disappeared. Assume there was more spam flying about. (n)

Oh wait... It's back! Stand down, stand down. (y)

He won't play on Sat even if he's signed in time to be registered, so it's pretty moot.

Just popping in to say I'm also told this is done.

jobdone · Aug 13, 2015

I'm doing my best to not get excited for this lad considering he's so young, but god I'd love to see a bit of pace in the team.

JonnySpurs · Aug 13, 2015

There's way too much noise on this one now for it not to be done soon. Personally i'm delighted as I think he's gonna be a total livewire.

With that said, I'm more excited that I'll finally gonna be able to get away from this horrific thread.

The way he's been described makes him sound like the French Andros

Yeah the only difference being he has plenty of end product in his locker lol. You know just a wee detail worth mentioning.

SpartanSpur · Aug 13, 2015

Anyone else pop in today expecting to see someone post that he's been pictured training again?

Edit: Nicely timed with the below post!

@OLNews_eng: Of interest to #COYS: Njie is not at @OL practice this morning.

AndyReid_N17 · Aug 13, 2015

@OLNews_eng: A youth OL player is quoted as saying that Njie is on his way to London, I assume for discussions with #COYS , but let's stay prudent.

Stoof · Aug 13, 2015

COME ON YOU #COYS.

He'll probably get banned pretty quickly and end up on here.

Can't wait for the Stoof stamp
