This guy looks brilliant. Tall, skillful and physical. Reminds me a bit of Bobby Zamora. Looks to be exactly what we need.

When it was announced that he was being considered last week I instantly reached for that reliable source of information Wikipedia. Looking at the many, many, many clubs he has played for takes the journeyman description to a new level. I counted an incredible 21 entries in 14 years !
The journeyman always fills me with some dread. I always assume clubs are in no hurry to keep the player, the player has been totally ineffective, the player can't get settled or the player is disruptive. However, there were a few extenuating reasons for Antoine-Curier having brief spells at clubs.
Extremely pleased with this signing.
Mickael Antoine-Curier

He looks very similar to James Collins of Srewsbury , strong , mobile ,tall ,and knows where the goals are ,i think he could be the difference between us going up automatic and ending up in the play-offs ,shame we may lose him come the end of the season should he do well on a free .

Whether his aspiration is to get noticed in English football for a summer move or to get a longer term deal at the Brewers, the only way he can achieve either is by playing well and putting the ball in the net. We can't lose.

He is good in the air and is capable of finishing with his feet. But don't expect much running or movement. The ball needs to go to exactly where has has been standing for the last 5 minutes.
