Welcome Ayyoub Bouaddi

[nottsblue]

Officially signed £85M

[salford city]

Welcome. Looking forward to seeing this kid in action. Get him involved at Palace, see what he's made of.

[john@staustell]

For that price I expect him to be fairly heavily involved from the off.

I'd be surpised if that was not the case.

[PeterParker]

For that price I expect him to be fairly heavily involved from the off.

With our luck, he gets himself injured.

As a right back with Guehi still holding down the 6.

This chap speaks perfect English, very well educated in Maths and Physics. Born in France to a family of berber origin, from Tiznit, in the foothills of the Anti Atlas. Seems ambitious and level headed

[bigblue]

watching some youtubes and on the ball he reminds me of a combination of Rodri & Bernardo - quick feet & tricky touches like Bernardo, a physical presence & passing like Rodri

off the ball he seems to be more like Fernandinho than Rodri

What, dark arts?

Crazy stat is that when Nico G and Bouaddi signed for City, Nico G only had 9 more professional minutes then Bouaddi at the point in their careers. When Caicedo and Fernandez signed at Chelsea for +100m, they only had about 15 more professional games than Bouaddi.

And Bouaddi is also the only teenager to make 5 WC appearances for an African team. So while only 18, not as green as some make it out to be

The red shite media will not publish such propoganda

Saw one of his idols growing up was Yaya, enough said great signing

[Nickyboy]

Seen pictures of him with a City shirt as a kid with Mahrez on it.

More evidence of the young stars of the future growing up with City as a dominant force in world football.

Yet still buffoons all over the net stuck in a time warp thinking our recent history is all Richard Dunne and Buster Philips.

Or our entire history.

Is there a badge of honour for having watched Buster in the flesh at Maine Road?

I remember Rosler cutting in from the right, beating his man along the goal line as the keeper came out to the 6 yard box, by the goal line. Rosler perfectly passes it to Buster, standing all alone on the six yard box in front of the empty goal.

He hit the post

Its a huge fee for an 18 year old, he does look a good prospect though.
Me being a worrier, would be concerned that because of the price tag were gonna expect too much from him too quickly.
He has zero premier league minutes to his name, I hope fans will be patient with him.

[CTID Hants]

Looks like we will find out soon enough, Maresca has said he is available for selection against Palace tomorrow night.

I wouldn't worry. We've just sold a load of people we expected too much from

If he doesn't get at least two assists on Friday, he's dead to me
