He's just come in and the coaches are all rating him higher than top-scorer Yaw Biney now, and I can't help but agree.
Just needs to work on his composure and he's probably a 30-goal striker.

It was surprising to spot him as a free agent, and a look at his career so far doesn't help:

Baffling.

Problem is, we already had a problem with wages before his signing, and he got our wage 'surplus' in the red. So...
Out goes lower-league hero James Gyimah and his $400 p/w wages to lower-league Egypt.
Utility belt/flop Stephane Philippe Nankop will also take his $700 wages with him in January, just in time for the next shop window.

And here's the list of teams in this year's Premier League:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/3voD4EFdNEyec4J4ACOAzdQui5mWBnJUYDPByMxV.png

Moneybags St. Mirren (of Ghana) make their expected return, joined by last season's cup semifinal opponents Coconut Grove, and relative unknowns in the form of Wa All Stars.

Ironic how he was complaining about the national team overplaying him.

If he's out for longer than the rest of this season,we can forget about qualifying for Europe.

I'd be surprised if he wins it - it'd be effectively saying that throwing money in a bid to survive is a good way to manage a club.

But still, if it was old Torres he'd have that in the back of the net without a second thought.

It's really sad, I've never seen him to be world class, but this is a new low.

I'd have snatched your hand off if you had offered me 5th place at the start of the season, but to miss out on third by such a small margin is gutting.

So in the final we met our first (and last) Premier League opposition in this year's tournament - Heart of Lions, who dispatched of their opponents rather unconvincingly (3-2 on aggregate).

Standouts

Yaw Biney:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/UeSU4xPAB5EvdlxG61mDNnNWMusa2RP2kZY4HOqn.png

Our Player of the Season, by far. Took up the scoring burden when his compatriots were shooting blanks.

John Coffie:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/9sJJep6gpFEISp2vUy17T65W6gMNSaZYEvnhRSqQ.png

Ridiculous number of assists, made even more baffling considering he's only got a 7 for dribbling.

Christian Mbarga:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/OEm8ikhO95oEPlKVcPa57mJ19Qgb8WeUhgltqFMf.png

Receiving a call-up to the Cameroonian U20s, he provides the creative outlet in the team.

Next Season

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/V1ZTuuRi84QwLqUKQnsZ3gECFzk6caylTAEqOwpJ.png

There's virtually no point in raising their expectations, even winning the title would require cuts of 1k from the budget.

At least I've got a signing:

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/9wybKZ8fICRUn99BmQE8k5Io5ZDUzHmkI3uySyTh.png

I fully intend on converting into my covering centerback.

I don't like it, it'd reek of hypocrisy on the part of Wenger/the club as a whole if he spent that money.
