Manwell Pablo Posted 30 January 2016 Share Posted 30 January 2016 You are correct, I didn't. But something told me that Leicester weren't going to get first dibs on a Croatian superstar that the the rest of Football had missed. Croatian footballers are/ were not unheard of at the time. So before we all shout Mahrez, major success in Algerian football is only a recent phenomenon. what a woeful comment. last time I looked English and French players weren't unheard of as well yet the rest of football seem to have missed vardy drink water kante.

formidable1 Posted 30 January 2016 Share Posted 30 January 2016 Mahrez isn't even Algerian . He's French (with an Algerian father). Kramaric wasn't 'unheard of' either - in case you'd forgotten we were rivalling Chelsea for his signature, who this time last year were looking good for the title. Good players quite often go unnoticed, we're just better than most at finding them. Vardy, Kante and Mahrez were all playing in lower leagues very recently, yet now they make up the spine of the PLs table toppers. Kramaric hasn't worked out so far, but he clearly has talent - even if it's not worked out for him here. Silly me, I thought he'd chosen Algeria! Maybe you think I am some sort of plum but I am well aware of the now known connection to his French heritage. French second division is like scouting at Concord Rangers in the Vanarama National League South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one him. Being at Man Utd doesn't scream " Under the radar" to me in Danny's case either. He didn't fit at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xen Posted 30 January 2016 Share Posted 30 January 2016 Silly me, I thought he'd chosen Algeria! Maybe you think I am some sort of plum but I am well aware of the now known connection to his French heritage. French second division is like scouting at Concord Rangers in the Vanarama National League South. But you were saying it like he was reasonably well known about because he was Algerian. Yes, since joining us he has chosen to represent Algeria, but when we signed him he was plying his trade in France, after growing up in France, with a French mother (I believe) and a French passport, so for all intents and purposes he was French. So you can't claim Algerian football being on the rise for the reason we knew about Riyad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was always Algerian in footballing terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are a lot of French Algerians. Doesn't make him any less likely to play for Algeria. Algerian football has only had a lift in recent years, so to has second division football.

Your arguing my point for me , yes he wasn't under the radar, still ended up at little old Leicester city didn't he. Using your logic every player we sign who isn't from Outer Mongolia must be sub par as someone better would of come in if they were any good which is obviously laughable and not the case at all.

So you rate the Croatian league much higher than the French second tier but didn't think it's top goal scorer by a long margin was any more than league one standard?
