Francis Laurent

12 months from now and I bet some decent clubs in league 1 and the cahmpionship will be sniffing around because i'm sure he'll be a huge hit in that league.

Personally dont see what all the fuss is about. Scored f'all created f'all and did f'all

Compare stats with ryan hall and there is no competition.

Had the potential to be a cracking player for us. Did well in the reserves, scored a cracking header and then destroyed Leeds on his full debut. Shame he could never reproduce that sort of performance more often.

Bit harsh comparing him to Hall as they are different players IMO.

Did he not turn Ashley Cole and leave him for dead at Stamford Bridge?

Sure did, which lead to that throw-in.

A frustrating player. Clearly has bags of ability, but little consistency. I personally thought he looked better up front than on the right.

Save for the Leeds home game when he was fantastic I thought he looked better down the right.

 

[Hazey]

Leeds at home like many have said he was absolutely terrific, put Beckford to shame that night and looked like him and Revell might be a great partnership, sadly he never played that well again.

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

No - he is clueless

 

[southend4eva]

Potential plus... But potential means nothing unless it's fulfilled... Now his in the Conference and that says it all IMO

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

He could also trip over his own legs if his mind is where it usually is!

I don't think his mind & legs are connected in any way, people often said even his own team-mates didn't know what he was going to do next, I'm convinced he didn't know what his legs were going to do next.

Looks like Nicky Nicolau will be joining him at Lincoln too according to my source ... (and maybe even Christophe!)

Not seen it mentioned previously, apologies if it has, but Laurent is apparently plying his trade in Cyprus for a club called Doxa.

It appears Francis Laurent has teamed up with JFC for their 95th shared club after joining Belgium 2nd division side KVK Tienen. Quite disappointed to be honest, was a big fan of laurent when he was with us, ok he may not have been particularly consistent with us but he was awesome to watch at times. Thought he might go somewhere with his career but a series of injuries have seemingly ended that chance at least in England anyway!

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

How the mighty have fallen, sad for them both to think that SUFC will be the best club the ever play for. :facepalm:

JFC played for Portsmouth and actually started out at Lens (though didnt play competitively for them I dont think) - so doubt we are his biggest club.

Franny on the other hand...

 

[southend4ever]

We are definitely the biggest club! Blue Army!

Yes Laurent had some promise for sure, his parents were nice people too, sat in the stands with the fans a few times at away games.

Picture popped up on his Instagram of him standing shaking hands with new Marseille signing Kevin Strootman. I did some digging and turns out he is now a Football agent for SEG.

Yes, he has been for a few years now, I still hear from him from time to time, and did persuade him to join SUEPA.
