So, this guy is 16, 6'4" and supposedly as fast as TH14. The age sounds about right for AW, if the rest is true I think he may he a decent adebayor replacement in a few years.

Re: Yaya (not that one) speculation

When Sky Sports can't find a photo for a player, you know we've got a good chance of signing him.

yeah, no one knows who he is, that means AW cooked him up in his home lab.

my thoughts exactly. If he is 16, 6'4" and really fast, he could be a monster in a few years. Not what we need now, but he could be a good addition to the academy. How many years does it take to qualify for home grown?

Now, if it is him at the expense of a older, established payer, then we should pass.

Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger could be set to bolster his side’s attacking options in the summer as he eyes a move for Auxerre youngster Yaya Sanogo.

Sanogo is out of his contract this June making him available for a transfer during the summer transfer window. Apparently Wenger traveled this week to Paris with Gilles Grimandi hoping for a possible deal.

More bodies in the forward line can't hurt, but really we need someone who can come in and be an upgrade on Giroud - some 'super quality'.

A young striker, with potential, from the French first division, with no experience in a top league.

We have already had Chamakh, Park Gervinho, Giroud, etc,

Will Wenger ever learn?

Dipping into the warchest! Our scouts play old versions of Football Manager, I see; this guy was immense on FM 11, I think.

Here's the obligatory YouTube vid:

but Holding’s hair transplant was painless
Afobe, Miyaichi, Ox and Campbell. That's enough young forward potential for my liking. NEXXXXXXXXXXXXXT.

From Yaya toure to Yaya Banana now Yaya Sanogo,Whats next.I want club to sign someone to make us competitive in the league/cups.Need first team players,first them then move on to reserves and young players. These clowns have no sense of urgency to sign first team players, that's why we are in situation like club is in today.

Scored 8 in 5 starts and 2 sub appearances in ligue 2, looks a talent and probably cheap

He's free, so the price seems about right for Arsène. Anyway, one would hope signing a talented youngster on low wages for no transfer fee would have no bearing on other potential summer signings, but you never know.

It shouldn't have any bearing but we shouldn't be looking at Ligue 2 players anyway.
Chamakh, Park, Gervinho, Giroud, Squillaci were all considered good Ligue 1 players, and even you tube clips made them look good, but they were against poor defences in a poor league.

How many players does Wenger have to buy from the French league before it becomes obvious they are not good enough.

Selling our best players is bad enough but replacing them with mediocre players from a mediocre league has probably cost us CL football, and has seen thousands of empty seats appear at our matches.

Please, no more of these players.
