Interesting that apparently we didn't pay a fee for him but have included a substantial sell on fee. Good bit of business that considering we haven't got the cash for fees, and we almost never get any money for outgoing players.

Finally a signing But seriously, whilst we all saw this coming for a while it's great to get it announced and another exciting prospect for us. And if we didn't pay a fee as expected then a great bit of business there too.

That would be a great chant, if people remember the song. Fa, fafa ,fa, fa. Talking heads, was just played on my internet radio 10 mins ago strangely.. Anyhow, heard we've missed out on a couple of our targets, so good to see one sign on!

Interesting and exciting signing. From his highlight reel that the club have shared it looks like he is both footed

When I’m watching Janneh, I go out of my head, I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough…
We slip and slide as we fall in love and we just can’t seem to get enough of… du du du du du du Saikou Janneh etc etc
Good to have this one wrapped up.

Love the little thumbs up at the end.
His interview was nice too "thank you very much...happy to be here"
Bless his little socks.

None that I'm aware of. Across Africa we've had players representing Nigeria, Dr Congo, Uganda, South Africa, Ghana, Mali, Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Mauritania, Ivory Coast and Tunisia that I can immediately see from a Google, but I think Gambia is a new one.

Edit - Oh...and after a bit of a Google dive...Reunion. Although I'm not sure that's actually Africa despite being next door to South Africa. Anyone care to guess the player?

Reunion is a French DOM is it? Oveeas department. Lib Dem councilor for Queen Edith's ward, Daniel Lee, who occasionally used to come to CUFC matches, used to have a girlfriend from Réunion. He caught her cheating on him in their flat on the Wirral. I like Saikou Janneh qu'est-ce que c'est. We're going to call it The Gambia generally or just Gambia?

Yep, Sulley Seychelles.
I tried looking for Louis George-Mongin but he's only listed as French and quite a hard man to find anything on.

I always thought Sulley Seychelles was just a figment of Herve’s imagination.
Anyway welcome Saikou, sounds like a good piece of business and with full trust in Bonner to do his thing and get the best out of him, I can’t wait to see him in action.
