I could see him as the kind of under the radar signing like we did with Boateng (the first time). The only question is, does he fit in with our style of play. Montella is a coach who likes technical players. His Fiorentina team played with almost all technical players in the midfield. Stambouli, from the looks of it, is more of a destroyer than someone who has good feet. I guess he's kind of a young De Jong in that sense. I am not sure that would fit in well with Montella's plan.
He is 26, not THAT young. Tottenham got rid of him after 1 year where he featured in 12 league matches. Now PSG want to get rid of him after having him as a substitute for a year. He might be an ok player, but does not represent a leap in quality - not even for us.
40 average players, here we go!
