RUMOUR - Geoffrey Kondogbia

[Norfolk Royal]

Was just coming on here to start a thread on this guy...

Heard by a bit of a random grapevine, my housemate from last year is in Estonia after blagging a scouting pass for my uni's football team, pretty sure they have 0 intention of scouting and more of a holiday tbh. On monday he text me to say he sat next to BMac in the ground for a Estonia youth game v France - I took it as nothing since he spelt it Bryan anyway but hes just text me since to say it was this player they were watching. He is probably putting BMac'c attendance together with the stories appearing today but at the least we can say Brian+1 has seen him play.

Did your m8 hear Brian saying: 'I'd like to sign that giant 19-year old.'

How did your mate rate the guy, based on that performance?

The U19's are indeed playing in Estonia but they did not play France on Monday, England did and won 2-1. Kondogbia did play though.

So Brian was probably there to watch pretty much all the England U19s and all the France U19s.

[i_kingsley]

so the game has started

did we sign him before the game

so far he has not show that much stuck out on the left side
maybe he will not have a good second half and noone else will notice if he is any good
and we will end up getting a good young player

[Optimist]

Missed a pen in the shoot-out. With our record from last season he'll fit in nicely!

[TheVeryLoyalRoyal]

This rumour is Wearing thin now.

I was only going on what the reliable Daily Mail said. They seem convinced he is set to sign for us.

[West Stand Man]

Wearing god's name did you hear that?

What is God's name then? I assume that you have seen him wearing it so can tell us?

The outcome of the case Geoffrey Kondogbia could come Tuesday. RC Lens could indeed formalize the start of his young midfielder today. The French U19 international is expected, as expected, to join either Reading or Sevilla. The posting allowance is estimated at 4 million. This transfer, together with that of Thorgan Hazard (see news: Hazard Thorgan way to Chelsea) should allow Racing to register with the League arrivals environments Pierrick Valdivia and Demetrius N'Diaye, and the attacker Yoann Touzghar.

Direct quotes from the player:

RMC on the air yesterday, the young hope Lensois Geoffrey Kondogbia be confirmed on the shelves of both clubs, and believed to be fixed on his future this weekend.
" Today I have two choices, it will be either England or Spain. I have all week to make my choice. For England, the interest comes from Reading , for Spain, this is perhaps the Sevilla . In both cases, the challenge is interesting. In France, there is nothing serious. Unlike abroad, here are more reluctant to take risks . "
