Another of KR's ex charges - what a waste - we do NOT need this type of player. Already injury dodgy (apparently) & not match fit - great.

I'll wait until I see him play before passing judgement on whether he is a good signing or not.
The comments below the Oxford Mail article are laughable, complaining about the signing. I bet these were the same people who moaned when MApp first signed Roofe on loan as there was plenty then.
KR has already explained why he wants another defensive midfielder so that he can rest Mous. KR has also explained that he wants some more experience in the dressing room.
And it is hardly surprising he goes for a player he knows considering our position so he will know what he is likely going to get, on and off the pitch. Further, Kashi already knows this level which takes out that unknown.

It is what we need if you don't want Mous to be knackered for most games as has been explained. It allows Mous to be rested and so be more effective when he does play.
And you know he isn't match fit? How? Can you talk us through his injuries this season?
Last season for Charlton, he played 35 times for them in Lg 1 by the way.

Of course, not having been an avid watcher of French L2 football recently, I'll reserve judgement until I've seen him play.
Having said that, he does tick all the usual KR boxes!

Surely the main con is that we don't need him anywhere as much as we need strikers - that is the major idiocy of this deal

It's a good job that we only ever need one position at a time, otherwise your comment would not make sense!
hasn't that already been explained that it's cover for mous and any decent strikers will hold out till later. would rather wait and get the right player rather than just signing any old one for the sake of it

This signing seems on paper to be pure Pep of last season. Foreign player check, playing at a questionable level abroad check, barely fit check, used to play for the manager a while ago check.
I would be very surprised if this one came from the scouting system , this is pure KR and on it he will be judged (doubly so if strikers are not signed soon).

Any idea if this Is this our last loan? No one seems to know.
We need strikers. Two weeks off the transfer window left.
Hate to say it, but I think we will end up with the dregs.

Majority of decent players aren't available until end of the window when there club has strengthened. Don't know what's hard to understand about that
Kashi signed .......https://www.Oxfordm**l.co.uk/sport/...YcniBjDimkLpXNzvOhhigQGYJcseGnURGJkdiJxAaSheg
Good luck to him and brings more experience to the squad

The difference to Pep being he played 35 times for Charlton in L1 last season and he was playing in the French 2nd tier. I agree that it is purely KR's signing.
What have his injuries been this season, genuine question because people keep saying this?

seems to have recovered

As always, I reserve opinion until I've seen him play. One of those ones that could go either way.
Good luck to the geezer anyway!

That story is a year old.
I’ll keep that in mind, when we have signed the dregs.

A decent signing who adds depth. While not a STRIKER, still gives us what we need in the squad

Thank you.
Although he has been regularly involved (starting and substitute) with Troyes 1st team from 31st October to the 21st December* (when their winter break started) which implies he is now match fit. So I assume the injury was earlier in the season based on those stats.
*From Soccerway which lists his individual appearances as 4 starts and 7 sub appearances playing a total of 519 mins in the period mentioned above. There was only 1 occasion when he didn't come off the bench as he was selected on the bench 8 times.

At the end of the day, call it what you will. It is a KR signing, and for many of the reasons listed, I will lower, significantly, any of my expectations.
