Doumbia flies in for a medical (and boy, are his arms tired)
Re: Doumbia flies in for a medical
Meh. Not too excited by this based on his record in Italy.

He could be great! Doesn't look like a 28-year-old in any way shape or form like.

Re: Doumbia flies in for a medical
The guy is talented, whether he can make an impact in this league we don't know, but at the very least we have some genuine competition for Mitrovic which should benefit us and him.
Re: Doumbia flies in for a medical
His record apart from his time at Roma is exceptional. Good signing in my opinion.
REQUIEM
Re: Doumbia flies in for a medical
In the champions league he has scored 5 goals in his last 6 games against the Manchester clubs.....Not bad at all
Re: Doumbia flies in for a medical
Great signing in my opinion. Offers us something different up front and has a great record aside from the brief time where he's been somewhere he doesn't feel wanted. Hopefully Tiote can help him settle in a bit.

Re: Doumbia flies in for a medical
Glad we got him. According to Sky, McClaren want another striker, hope it will be Berahino, not Gomis.
Re: Doumbia flies in for a medical
If that's the case this transfer window really is starting to feel like a clearout, and an expensive one at that. Sounds like quite a lot of our players, including some who've not been here long are surplus to requirements.Johnny from the block wrote:Glad we got him.

That said I'd be surprised if it's true.
Re: Doumbia flies in for a medical
Berahino to replace Cisse next hopefully. Could basically field an almost completely new XI at the start of next season (hopefully in the Prem) than the one we ended the last day of last season with. We need a massive clear out and better all round squad.
It's not about money... It's about sending a message.
Re: Doumbia flies in for a medical
Chuffed with this signing. Hopefully he can bang some in running off Mitro's knockdowns.

Re: Doumbia flies in for a medical
If he hadn't have moved to Roma we'd all be creaming ourselves over this move. Hopefully he sees us as a way to make amends for his time there.

Re: Doumbia flies in for a medical
I'm not very excited by this move but in all fairness I've not really taken much notice of him before.
I was hoping against hope that we'd get a PL proven striker as this could be risky again.

Re: Doumbia flies in for a medical
I'll be very surprised if we get two strikers. Don't want either Berahino or Gomis though

No doubt if he signs the Chronicle will do an article on Newcastle Uniteds' number 88s over the years!Southern fairy wrote:He wants no.88

Re: Doumbia flies in for a medical
Good signing imo. Sure he's had a bad spell at Roma, but sometimes things just don't work out (we know that more than most).
I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?
