I don't mind taking a few gambles on imported players in balance, and this year we've already signed Colback, Taylor & Blackett, so I'm happy with that so far.

Anyone any idea on this lads injury history though? Just looking at his past 5 seasons, and he doesn't seem a stalwart........
To put it into context, Carvalho had more game time than him last season than he's had in any of the past 3.
Wondering if that's injury, or just better quality in front of him.

There are only 30 games a season in the Swedish league.

Cheers Fred. thought it was odd. Couldn't find any injury history anywhere
Nice, looking good there then.

Broke his toe in 2011 and missed 4 games. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fouad-bachirou/verletzungen/spieler/93663

UEL being the Uefa Europa League.
Wikipedia has him down as playing 46/60 domestic games in the last two seasons, although that's unlikely to be right either.

Is that as serious as rupturing an ACL? Asking for a friend.

Suppose it depends on how badly you break your toe, I imagine if you break it off it probably is.

Or if it gets sewn back on like Andy Reid's balls (back to front) or Matty Fry-up's knee (wrong leg)

Tails and Percy says its happening, he just needs to fly in for his medical.
It’s about mid way between that and snapping your banjo string.

With cup/euros he seems to have played later 30s to 40 games a year, so not bad.

Not too far off the number of games in a Championship season then. Bodes a lot better than Sow, who (on top of his injury problems) was not used to playing many games.

John Robertson
Yeah, my thoughts too.
Lots of small positive signs with this one. Like always, proof will be the pudding.
I'm hoping for him to hit the ground running as he should be coming in ready to go with Malmo being well into the start of their season.

Hopefully he's not one step fouad and two steps bachirou.

Some data from Forest Analytics on Twitter from Bachirou's appearences so far this season. Pretty encouraging stuff, over 11 recoveries per 90 mins is proper Kante stuff, wins his duels at a good percentage and he seems to look to pass the ball forwards as often as possible.

The million dollar question. Hopefully for us to improve attacking through central areas and passing through the lines the next midfield addition could be crucial to receive his passes.

Shame he isn't about 25/26, but then he'd probably cost a hell of a lot more... Although that said, he seems like someone who's likely blossomed as he's grown into his own game more.

Exactly the type of midfielder we need, I understand this transfer I hope he has the quality as well!

Reminds me a little of Gueddy. If he's more consistent then he could be a very tidy acquisition.

Seems to have right attributes for us. Seems a like seasoned pro and his experiences will allow him to transition to championship football, so seems less risky. Signings so far, although not particularly spectacular, seem a good fit for our needs and for championship, long may this approach continue.

I lived in West Cork for five years and, by the time I left, had no more understanding of the country lads than I had at the beginning.
I had one man make me a shed and when he described what he was making it might have been a replica of the Taj Mahal for all that I knew. I just smiled and told him to get on with it.
