Just the player we require. Classy!!
I quite like him being greedy sometimes, as it leads to making something out of nothing.

Not sure what I think about this. This is a position that we are most blessed already, although you could argue that he would be an upgrade.
So as long as it’s not for some of the silly money that I’ve seen being mentioned for him.
Save that for CMs and a main striker.

Yes I like this

Makes sense. Knows the club and the PL and O’Neill knows him and his strengths and weaknesses and how to get the best out of him. Like a number of our recent signings, a regular international starter coming off a positive World Cup. Definitely has the X Factor to produce quality moments and can play a number of positions across the forward line. I would be surprised if this deal doesn’t materialise.

Can be greedy but puts in a proper shift and is a handful for the opposition.
Hopefully as he matures as a player will learn when to release the ball at the right moment sometimes a maverick is required.

Strasbourg got a bargain at 10m, hopefully Town can bring him in permanently rather than a loan, anything below 15m would be great but I’d say he is worth spending more on for sure. He is quality and will be adding more goals by bringing him in.

Yes. Brilliant if true. Loved his attitude a couple of seasons ago

Perfect! An attacking trio of Maeda, Enciso and Fatawu would be a right handful. Could either play them all behind a 9 (Emersonn, for example), or as the front line by itself. Would love this very much.

This possible transfer makes us look exciting with a another World Cup player who knows English football. GON knows the standard required. We just have to take advantage of other Prem teams in change mode (new managers etc).

Yes
Yes
Yes

YES!

100% Yes please....!!!

Can you remember him getting all emotional on his last home game for us.? I love this guy....Please, please, please.!!

Its a yes from me! This guy was at times the only bright spark we had in 2nd half of Prem league last time and looked like one of the very few who belong at this level that we had. Get it done and bring him home!

As Gary said, we need to give the Prem a right good go!

Versatile. Enciso played across forward positions at Strasbourg, sometimes as the 9 in a 4-3-2-1 (before GON's time).

That WC goal v Germany was cheered very loudly in my house!!

Would love to see Julio back at PR. Would be the 4th signing who played in the WC, and the 3rd who scored a goal! Only issue is that frontline of him, Omari & Jaden was a bit lightweight. But with some more robust boys like Emersonn and Fatawu around him might fare better.

He could interchange with Maeda and Fatawu making a fluid 3 behind the striker, if we continue to play that system.

Yes we are blessed with wingers but Enciso is more of a CAM / No 10. What we have there is not PL Quality. Szmodics on his way out of the club when Derby, or one of their rivals, makes a sensible offer. Akpom, if still around, seems to be being played as a more traditional no 9 by GON. Nunez fell into that position by accident after injuries to the 2 named above and wont be effective there in the PL, just as he wasn't against the bigger clubs in the run in last season. Better used as a no 8 midfielder, probably as a sub on occasions we need to add a little attacking flare towards the end of games.

Maeda can play there effectively but will probably be needed on the LW, particularly if Jaden leaves.
All of which leave Memeti as the only player whose position that really is. Got lost a little towards the end of last season. I'd like to bring 2 into that position, if funds allow. Maybe Julio on loan with an option / obligation to buy if we stay up. And then Zian Flemming from Burnley (adding to our Dutch contingent) who can either play there or as the out and out striker. That would give us a very flexible forward line with options in every position.

Hopefully he has grown up a bit, greedy doesn't really cover it and I remember other players throwing their hands up in exasperation after yet another dead end dribble or wild shot. No doubt there is talent there but needs to learn about team playing

He could walk through the door and know both the manager, players, fans and the club and the system O'Neil plays very well. Cant get much better than that smooth a transition. Played very well in the World Cup from what I saw of him too.

Would be an amazing addition if we can get it done. I would have thought other clubs would be interested but having played for ITFC before and under GON hopefully we will have the edge to get it done

Dear lord please make this happen! The guy has skill, great technique, pace to burn, goals, tenacity and his work rate in the World Cup was on another level. If you can’t get creativity and goals with Maeda enciso and Fatawu playing around a striker then we’re doomed anyway

I would rather spend the money on him than Delap.

Bet he will be a chunk cheaper than if we were dealing with Brighton direct....they would have wanted 3x the money from us compared to what the French paid. Like this if true. Still feel emotional remembering looking down the open tunnel area at Villa Park seeing him in tears after his injury....and thinking we are ####ed ! And we were. Genuine game changer. What we need.

Lets get then - not just talk !
We know him and his capabilities.

a good player yes with flair but should we not be looking for taller more robust forwards - we can carry the odd short player but not too many - midfield is key hoping for progress on that front soon but all very exciting

I really liked Ensico as a 9 in the world cup.

Emerson
Enciso
Hirst
Akpom

Plus an experienced striker....

Gives us pretty good options up top, with maybe Hirst or Akpom to leave
