Chuck Berry Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Looks the part, but will we play him the right way? looks like he feeds off cross balls, although can also run at a defence and get shots off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kila Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) https://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/article/armand-is-new-no9 ARMAND IS NEW NO.9 25th January 2021 Robbie Neilson has bolstered his options in the final third with the addition of striker Armand Gnanduillet. The Jambos beat off strong interest from the English Championship to sign the French-born Ivory Coast frontman on an 18-month deal, subject to international clearance. 28-year-old Armand has extensive experience of British football after spending the majority of the past eight-years playing in England, and was Blackpool’s top scorer for the last two seasons. A towering 6ft 4” tall, Armand started his career with French side Le Havre before spending six-months at AS Poissy, also in France. Capped at U20 level for Ivory Coast, he was also called up to their U23 side for the 2011 CAF African U23 Championships. In January 2013 he made the move across the Channel to sign for Chesterfield. Following three years at The Spireites, including loan stints at Tranmere Rovers, Oxford United and Stevenage, Armand joined Leyton Orient for an undisclosed fee in January 2016. Six months later the forward would sign for Blackpool, where he helped The Seasiders to League Two Play-Off final glory over Exeter City in 2017, scoring a crucial goal in the semi-final victory against Luton Town. Armand’s return of 14 then 18 goals saw him become Blackpool’s top scorer in all competitions in seasons 2018/19 and 2019/20. A four-month spell in Turkey with Altay came to an end in December 2020, and now the big striker has joined Robbie’s side as the men in maroon continue their quest for league success. Speaking to the Official Hearts Website, Robbie said; “It’s no secret we’ve been looking for a striker and I’m delighted to get Armand in because he ticks all of the boxes. “He’s quick, strong and has a real presence about him and, of course, he can score goals. "There was a lot of interest in him elsewhere from some big clubs so to get him signed up is a bit of coup." “He’ll bring something different to the team and I’m looking forward to working with him.” Edited January 25, 2021 by kila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo92 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Have no clue what kind of player he is but recognise the name from soccer Saturday videoprinter.

But JS said himself in interview he has been working with Robbie since he accepted the job in December. Roberts and to a lesser extent frear feel like very much savage influenced signings (lower league England etc) So while he won't get everyone right I'm not sure we can pin those two on just Robbie. Blaming Savage for signings made before he was even at the club is a new JKB low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
