Simone Zaza

General discussion

Well, I've watched two YouTube videos and I can happily proclaim, he looks great!

He can head, he harries defenders, some great finishing, usually with left foot, but doesn't seem afraid to use his right (one footed players annoy the hell out of me!)

He certainly looks more exciting than Adebayour and looks like a willing runner.

Hope this comes off, would like our strikers to harass defenders like ours did last season (and like the Bournemouth strikers did to us!). Can't see Hernandez or Ballotelli doing that.

Then again, I know nothing about Italian football. Out of all the names linked so far, Zaza seems the most exciting.

Yeah it would be good to have

Yeah it would be good to have a forward with a great left foot, and he's young also. Trouble is YouTube highlight clips are notoriously misleading...

west ham have agreed terms

west ham have agreed terms with Juventus for Zaza. The player will make a decision today I hear

I remember

Julian Faubert on Youtube. And there's Modibo Maiga whilst at Metz. And best of all..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjvi7vosWW8

imo one of the worst players to ever put on the shirt,came with glowing praise,he used to annoy the hell out of me.Supposed to be right back i dont think in all the games i watched him play that he ever kept to that position!!Also if he gave the ball away once he gave it a way a thousand times....;)

He did set up Reid's goal

He did set up Reid's goal against Millwall by taking the keeper out of the game though, after that I'm struggling to think of anything

he's one good looking S O B ,

he's one good looking S O B , i'll give him that

Tongue in Cheek

My YouTube comment was tongue in cheek, just for clarification!!

Having said that, things that I think you can glean from it; He runs and chases, appears strong, can head and has a great left foot, but does use his right too.

He's also been picked for the Italian national side, so the raw ingredients are there.

Luck and circumstance will play a part fro whichever striker we sign. He'll probably get an opportunity due to our injuries and if he shins one in on his debut, that may give him the confidence to go on a run.

Fingers crossed for whoever we sign...
