On the ball there Tony. Just been confirmed on Sky.

[Commy]

Must be the child in me but I love the reveal.

[ClaretTony]

Sacha called the loan on this, Fabrizio said permanent.

Club have said it's a loan and nothing else but I believe there is either an option or even an obligation to buy in the summer

[bobinho]

Welcome lad, get amongst em….

[wilks_bfc]

Looks happy to be here

[Clovius Boofus]

Looks happy to be here

He's probably seen the state of the roadworks and also heard how long it's taking.

[Mark the Claret]

Looks happy to be here

Hope he's not as gormless as he looks.

[FCBurnley]

Bonjour Maxime . On y va

[Holtyclaret]

Hope he's not as gormless as he looks.

Better for you?

[Mark the Claret]

Better for you?

Yes, I only said it because he reminds me of Bez

[Culmclaret]

Oh God! The bl**dy ‘project’ again. He must be gormless if he believes that tripe.

[Holtyclaret]

Yes, I only said it because he reminds me of Bez

Hope he leaves his maracas in the changing room

[Holtyclaret]

Oh God! The bl**dy ‘project’ again. He must be gormless if he believes that tripe.

Or more gormless and short-sighted to not

[RVclaret]

Great to see he’s joined for the project. Welcome.

[Big Vinny K]

Aye……
“Project Treble Your Wages”

[fidelcastro]

What's the correct way to pronounce his surname?

I only ask because I need to try and fit it into a Happy Mondays song!

[MDWat]

Eh-stev

[fidelcastro]

Eh-stev

Getting that to fit to the tune of kinky afro might prove difficult, but thanks!

[Bosscat]

Looks happy to be here

Probably been reading the matchday threads on UTC

[Greenmile]

He’s gonna Esteve on you again

[Westleigh]

Yes, I only said it because he reminds me of Bez

Think he looks more like O’Shea ,but like a few of the squad needs to go on the weights.

[Mark the Claret]

Think he looks more like O’Shea .

Who, Bez or Esteve?

[123EasyasBFC]

The post Montpellier have put on about him leaving isn’t a post for a player you expect to be coming back in the summer

[Nori1958]

Doesn't look like his club think he's going back

Arriving at the club at the age of 12, a pure product of the Training Center, the MHSC thanks Maxime for his unfailing involvement throughout his years in orange and blue and wishes him the best for the rest of his career.

Good luck to you Max!

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Better for you?

Cracking plastic surgeon has Bez knocked 40 years off him

As MDWat said it's Eh-stev because of the grave accent - on Clarets+ they've got it wrong and referred to him as Estéve

[bfcjg]

Welcome to Burnley.
Just glad he managed to sign before the French farmers close the country down.

[jrgbfc]

We look a bit top heavy with centre backs now. I make it 6, 7 if you count McNally. Big summer ahead at present the squad is a bit of a bloated mess.

Makes a change from wingers

[Westleigh]

Just seen his interview,spoke entirely in French ,don’t think SD would have coped with that ,as Del Boy would say “Mon Blanche”

Not the first signing who has done his interview in his native language

[randomclaret2]

Clarets + showing an acute lack of French savvy

[fidelcastro]

Must be the child in me but I love the reveal.

It must be. I thought it was pathetic

[Goliath]

Not the first signing who has done his interview in his native language

After seeing Fofana's its probably for the best

[burnley007]

Is he definitely going to play CB?

Is he a potential LB? I mean we have 100's of CB's, but only 1 LB, who is currently crocked!

[HahaYeah]

Looks like we will utilise Taylor, Delcroix and Al Dakhil.

Vitineo?

[CoolClaret]

I actually like the look of this guy - seems very happy to be here which is always a big plus. Could tell in his interview that it wasn't the usual regurgitated monotone drone that you usually expect from players that have had extensive media training, even if he was speaking in en français.

[dsr]

His English may be perfectly adequate for football purposes, even if he isn't confident enough to use it for press interviews.

[HahaYeah]

Vitineo?

After Taylor, and probably after Delcroix and Al Dakhil too but we need a serious upgrade in this position for the PL.
