The English team did not report officially to the international of Benin, but in the entourage of the player is told that negotiations may be started after Saturday's game against RC Genk. Gounongbe turned out early last year to the thrill of the Jupiler Pro League with nine goals in eight consecutive games. Then he staggered from one in the other injury. The attacker is still not very fit, but this season has already scored twice. It is expected that the board will be involved in any transfer. Since Gounongbe is in his last contract year, it is for the Gamecocks last chance to make a tidy transfer fee. Never heard of him but apparently he's 6'3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanjwitham Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Staggering from one injury to another? sounds like a good fit for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamLad1884 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 22 in 42 games last year, and his league is about league one, so maybe worth a punt? Seem to remember him linked to west ham a year or two ago. Note: gotta say well done to the poster for finding that article, true dedication there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 6ft 3' , 27 year old CF who can also play on the wing, with 2 goals in 3 games this season, 9 goals in 15 games last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovis aries Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 27 years old , no pro team till he was 24 and only 48 games , goal every other game though, that's not bad but stats a bit thin . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 He'll be cheap as chips you'd imagine, but I'd say this was far more likely to be a flop than a masterstroke if it's true. I'm going to go with that it isn't true so I don't get inclined to do more research on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 From the Republic of Benin (formerly Dahomey) in Africa. I doubt his English is great but being in Belgium he might know some, lots of English speakers there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeadlySaul Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Other than Albentosa, this looks like one of the first players our scouting team have found that isn't a well known name in English football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Gounongbe a good punt in my opinion. Derby benin looking all over Europe for players. Most recent signings said they feel very much diahomey here at the iPro. Excuse tpyos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripleyram88 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 27 years old , no pro team till he was 24 and only 48 games , goal every other game though, that's not bad but stats a bit thin . Fabio Grosso didn't play for a pro team till he was 24. He went in the score the winning goal in the world cup semi final and final. 27 and played less than 50 games Hes definitely played more than 50 games. His wiki doesn't have all his stats. Not surprising with him being an unknown really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I think this style of player is certainly being looked at. It's painfully obvious we only have one striker who can play as a lone forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale The Ram Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Looks like a average fox in the box, first time finishes.If we can get him on a small fee then great, replacement for Sammon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
