Linked with Modou Barrow

[Canaryboy]

Sky sports are linking us and Everton with Modou Barrow (and claim they heard it from his agent Willie McKay).

21 year old Gambian striker playing in Sweden. 

With RVW looking set to leave, and Becchio playing with the kids, wouldn't surprise me if we were looking for a striker.

(And yes, you can embed youtube vids on www.NorwichTalk.com - if Carlsberg made Norwich City forums.....)

Looks like he would be a decent addition but if Everton are interested I don't think we would stand a chance of signing him!

 

[CanaryLewis]

Would be a very good signing for the reported fee of 1.2million

 

[Andy]

Must admit I'd never heard of him but looks interesting.

 

[Che's right hand man]

Looks like a winger too. Alternative to Callum Wilson maybe?

 

[morty]

Ooh, he looks good (As morty falls into the trap of rating a player based purely on a youtube montage lol)

 

[BarclayBoy88]

Always hard to get a true reading based on a youtube video, but he does look decent. Has obvious pace, bit of skill and the most impressive aspect is he gets hi head up when he's in the final third.

With Everton interested, always going to be difficult, but wouldn't mind that at all.

Everton may be interested but if they decide no, and this probably happens in at least 90% of times, then we could be in the driving seat.

I'm not sure, but have kept an eye on the Gambian National side having been there several times but this guy may have been part of the Gambian team(u19 i think) that beat Brazils u19s. gonna do a few searches and try to back up my ageing ,failing memory.

Hopefully back with more  info soon.

 

[wcorkcanary]

No , he wasnt.... he's too young. Apologies to all for posting previous disinfo. Wonderful Country though, one of the few in Africa where the Cops dont carry guns, and the beach Football at low tide is a skillfest. Cost me around £0.50 to watch a top of table premier league match at their National Stadium. Watching the African Nations Cup in a packed bar with around 300 locals was also a fantastic experience, one fella held my son up on his shoulders for the entire game and wouldnt even let me buy him a drink.

after all, thats how we got our hands on Leroy Fer.

 

[flashdown]

He looks to have some real speed, which could be very beneficial. His moves are good but it seems like he doesn't quite get his head up in time to make the final pass. Though he is only 21 and as others have said that is just based on a 2 minute YouTube video. With RVW likely to be leaving he could be a good addition.

 

[Yellow Fever]

Agree that he could be good, but Everton have to be favorite, unless he doesn't feel he'll get game time there.
