22
Striker
Montpellier
6 ft 3
15 goals in 38 games
Nicknamed "The Tank"
Wanted by Lyon and West Brom

 

I have seen him play a handful of times and the times I have seen him play, he has had a decent game. Strong, good in the air, but what I really liked about him was his willingness to gamble. A few times I've seen him go to head ball from a cross that a defender got to before him but he still aimed for goal just in case the defender missed it.

He whoscored data is impressive as well.

Counter attack is listed as one of his strengths on whoscored. We all know Silva's style of play is set up to do this.

Would be good if there was something in this.

 

Only watched this fella in one game, but he definitely looked like he deserved his nickname, the bloke's built like a brick wall but still fairly mobile, only young too, so could be a decent signing and bring a bit more youth to the team. Though Silva usually plays only 1 central striker, and we've already got Okaka and Deeney there, who seem to be similar to this guy, and I'd doubt any of them want to be warming the seats in the dugout, meaning if this goes through, at least one of those two will probably leave I'd have thought

 

Would be nice to have someone in the team called Steve for once .

 

So we're tapping him up?

 

Plenty of songs to adapt........

Mony Mony - Tommy James and the Shrodells
Money, Money, Money - Abba
Money for Nothing - Dire Straights

 

Walking in Mounie wonderland (sacrilege)

 

Would have preferred Steve the Mountie

 

Mounie? Bound to have a cult following. It's a 'no' from me.

 

I won't believe it til I see the You Tube vid

 

Song ready made...

 

Any relation to Tommy Mouniè?

 

This guys looks like a more polished Oulare IMO.

 

Tommy Moo(unie)ney Mark 2, yes please!

 

Well in fairness that's not exactly difficult.

 

Wow So strong, So tall, So dominant.

 

Show me the Mouniè!

Seriously, I'm surprised nobody's done that one yet

 

Holllywood Beyond had asong in the hit parade in '86, although I'm not wholly sure that it would be taken the right way:

 

Now being reported by The Daily Fail.

If L'Equipes info is correct. Mounié could be an easy signing for Watford, Montpellier's owner is a **** who sells almost all of their great talent on the cheap. Complete idiot. Plus he would be a good addition as he is young and hungry for goals

 

What do you think would be a suitable price for him then?

 

If Mounie signs , and on his first game Deeney mistakenly puts on Steve s shirt , Troy might sing...

"Mounies is too tight to mention "

 

Valentine Brothers or "Mick Hucknall out of Simply Red"?

 

Valentines although I dont actually mind the Simply Red version.

 

A superior version I agree but Charlie Drake does well it's fair to say!

 

It's pronounced moony-ay.

 

The Tank? Sounds promising if we get the fella

 

Hmmm...parallels with Rudy Gestede. Not if it was my money.

 

Looks decent and young but i think we need a smaller pacey striker rather than someone who will hold the ball up - which we already have in Deeney and Okaka.

 

what if he's tall and pacey?

isn't insisting on small and pacey heighist?

 

I've seen turds look more polished

This article is an interesting read. The WO are also reporting that a deal could be close with French media suggesting he wants a move to London

 

no more than it is speedist.

 

There can only ever be one Mooney. It's Moony-ay or he can get the **** out.
