I hope he's as good as he is in fm2013 haha!

Young, Promising, French, Extremely Cheap, Formidable Injury History = FITS THE BILL!

I'll just laugh too hard if he surpasses Lukaku this season =P
Not saying he is going to though...

@Zakzook, that would be a hell of a long-shot for a Ligue 2 striker. Crazier things have happened though.

LOL Footaholic I was thinking the same thing.

I guess this is the replacement to Sagna.

Sagna? He's a striker!

*facepalm* Anyway good signing Arsenal.

@exxpertfootball do you read ANYTHING?

@rama: Just calm down boy.

He was a free transfer aswell! Looks like a promising youngster.
