Arnaud Djoum

[Miko]

What a pleasure it is to have this man back to full fitness. He's been our best player by far since naisy got injured. Another fantastic performance today.

 

Must say it's very enjoyable watching him ram it up the knuckle draggers in our support.

 

3 year deal please Mr Levein!

[OTT]

I've been very critical of him but his form has been good of late. I still wouldn't want us to push the boat out to secure him but certainly making an offer would be good, lower squad turnover is needed and is one of our better players.

Whole heartedly agree.  Can’t wait to see him playing alongside Uche and Naismith.  

[Glottis]

It's almost as if his contract is out in the summer... oh  ?

Was saying this after the game today. Yet to see a fully fit Djoum alongside Naisy. Could be absolutely devastating in this league

[amadjambo]

Not just one of our best players, but one of the best players in the league.

It’s almost as if he’s now fully fit after recovering from long-term injury. And it’s almost like he’s being played in a position suited to his game.

[Mikey1874]

Maybe got a bit of confidence from playing against Brazil recently

Thats what I was going to say.

 

He has had bad luck with injuries, last season he had three injuries (worst putting him out till August this year) with only a few months between each. Takes games to get up to speed, he did not get that last season so people just blamed him being not good enough. Now he is up to speed.

[Bull's-eye]

Don't think the racists will agree but I think he's first name on the team sheet.

[Victorian]

Great player.    Frothers may be diminished in their frothing for a bit.

I agree. Its true he has been injured but he wasn't injured during the Cathro debacle and couldn't have been more posted missing. I'm not for a minute saying not to keep him but a 3 year deal would be stupid. 1 year with an option would be far better. 

 

I think for certain players 3 year deals offer too much security and take away the hunger/ pressure of earning a new deal. 

[Mikey1874]

Maybe now properly managed by a manager that rates him. And stepping up as a senior player in our time of need. 

 

(And playing against Brazil)

Has been much more attacking recently and he showed lovely quick feet again today.

I thought Djoum played very well today and is definitely one of our better players on his day 

[Jambof3tornado]

Doesnt show how good he is often enough for me but on his day an excellent player.

 

Worthy of a deal but not at any price.

So glad he has managed to turn things around I backed him to do it he will be even better when the likes of naisy and uche are back also

[The Internet]

Nothing he does will ever stop the folk around me going '**** sake DJOUM' when a teammate passes the ball 5 yards behind him and he doesn't control it. Or when a teammate passes the ball to him when he's surrounded by opposition players and he loses it. Or when he does anything that doesn't involve scoring a worldy.

Couldn’t agree more (even tho you’ve called me a racist in another thread ?). Now he’s fully

fit he looks every bit the player we thought he was. If he can start chipping in with more goals he’ll be well worthy of another contract. 

[tcjambo]

Make no mistake if we can't offer him a contract Sevco probably can or even Celtic.  The better the players are around him the more obvious it will be what a good player he is.

Excellent post! 

I completely agree with you good sir! 

[innerjambo]

When he's on form, he's a bit special. When he can't be bothered, and goes missing, not so good.

You must sit near me. Absolute ***** of a guy the row behind who spends 90 minutes having a go at him 

[J80MBO]

First time he had pass marks in months and months (and months)

 

One swallow doesnt doesnt make a summer.

[Nightwing]

My MOTM yesterday, he covered every blade of grass on that pitch and never gave them an inch. I've been very critical of him over the past couple of months but today he justified the faith that levein has shown in him.

Where have you been? He was one of the best we had in the two previous games too.

If we let him go it will be a travesty!

This. He is looking like the Arnaud Djoum we originally signed now he is over the injuries and finding his confidence again

The auld fella that sits behind me has replaced him with Sean Clare now. His Djoum hating had to go somewhere. Even when Clare won balls in the air and made a couple of decent passes yesterday we got a "FFS Clare" or a "He's done nothing"

Every player was shite under Cathro. 

We lost out on £3m young international striker because of him and a Greek international also turned to shite. 

 

 

3 year options might be the only way we can get guys like him to the club as we can't offer the money he may want, so we sweeten the deal with a slightly longer contract. 

Not quite a cut and dry as some think. 

 

For example, we were in a battle with Aberdeen for Sammon, the longer deal got him here ????

[cosanostra]

Wouldn't say he was fantastic but he was probably the pick of the bunch. I would give him another year but no more.

He's not reliable.

It's horrendous. 

 

Last week there was a period of bad play down at our left back side, near the corner. 

 

Djoum was at my side, out right, halfway line ish. 

 

A fan shouted," c'mon Djoum, finger out" 

 

 

 

Same guy kept telling Lee (Bozanic) to get a grip all game yesterday, until Lee came on.

Levein could have kept him. Sold at basically the same time Cathro was sacked (after months of it being patently obvious the latter was inevitable).

I’m a mix of all these posts - a fit and motivated Djoum is an asset to any team, he just needs to be more consistent.

Agreed ? 

[boag1874]

If you don’t rate a fully fit Arnaud Djoum among the best CMs in the league then you don’t know much about football.

 

He’s wasted out wide but when he’s deployed correctly he’s absolutely immense.

Just what I was about to say. It’s as clear as the nose on your face his contract is up soon. 

I like Djoum, when he’s on and playing in his natural position he can be very good. I’d be wary about another 3 year deal for him though. I’d offer him a year with a years option if all parties happy.

He’s just went missing too much after the contract was signed last time.
