The weekend away in Portugal will see the conclusion of a deal between Leicester and Lincoln City over Dany N’Guessan. The Football League Conference has seen the Imps meet representatives of Leicester, Leeds, MK Dons and both Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United. Though in reality both the Imps and Foxes were meeting to iron out the last stumbling block to a deal that has already seen Dany triple his take home pay. The fee is likely to be an undisclosed figure though a six figure down payment with more to follw will please the Imps and Glasgow Rangers (33% sell on clause). The Imps will probably have inserted a sell on clause of their own, a common feature of the our recent negotiating tactics.
No league two footballer has the strength and pace of Eiffel Power Dany ‘Gasman` N`Guessan. The conclusion of the deal in Portugal this weekend will ensure that Le Fusée Rouge will ply his trade as Le Fusée Blue in the Championship next season. An apt stage and the beautiful theatre that is The Walkers Stadium will be a fitting one for a player with the world at his feet, if handled correctly.
He is so much more than a wide player. The phenomenal, at times petulant but precocious talent, for 12 football matches became a dazzling League 2 Ronaldo. Whether Dany was cutting in to power home 25 yarders or leaving two or three in his wake; all are meat and drink for the Gallic gastronomic gem. At 21 he has the strength of a Hesky and the pace of Achilles. One of the finest talents to grace Sincil Bank for a while, when The Red Flare flew skywards he would be worth the gate money alone. He can be brilliant one minute, frustrating the next, attempting to rub a defenders nose in it once to many.
Alas, the Flare will be blue from now on, however the brightness will be down to the Foxes coaching staff. Should Milan`s millionaires play this lad correctly, then it maybe Inter or AC who get him next.
