I always trust Nigerians on the internet. In fact, one of them just emailed me claiming to be my cousin. He's a prince apparently and wanted to share his wealth with me. All i had to do was send him my sort code and account number along with my passwords. Can't wait!

Lucky you!! Wish my cousin was a prince!!! Oh and willing to send me money! Are you even African? He he

too much heard mentality, polishing Walsh's dick. The post about our record signing going to Hoffenheim. Spot on.

 

If you say so. We just let our club record signing go to Hoffenheim. Forgive me for being interested in other people's opinion on a player. 

 

I think we can forgive Kramaric not working out in light of successful signings such as Vardy, Mahrez and Kante - don't you think? 

 

****ing hell, anyone would think we've signed nothing but absolute stinkers for the last 4 years the way some of you lot are going on.

 

Taking into account that Kramaric was also probably somewhat of a panic signing considering when we bought him and the poor form of the rest of our squad at the time. 

 

Some of you have got your head in the clouds, seriously - if anyone in player recruitment deserves 'their dick polishing' then it's Steve Walsh.

Agreed, as much as Walsh has spectacularly got right he doesn't hit the bullseye every time and nor should he be expected to.

 

I'm a little bit meh over Musa, in one way it would be great to have a player who is Vardy quick and can replace him as No9 when need be so we don't have to change the way we play. He's also versatile and hard working by all accounts so that suits how we play and we want to get him in the team one way or another. On the other hand I'm always a bit worried when fans who have seen a lot of him don't rate him.

 

Agree wiith your assessment. I get the feeling its almost blasphemy to inquire about opinions any players we make bids for because that means we are questioning Steve Walsh. 

 

I'm a bit meh on Musa as well.

I don't think it's that people think you're questioning Steve Walsh more that there's no point getting too uptight about what a few random Nigerians on Twitter think. Opinions are like arseholes, everyone's got one but they're mostly full of shit.

To me he looks like he has amazing ability and pace but lacking with this final pass/shot. Reckon with the right coaching and players around him he would be quality.

You can see what I mean perfectly on that video, blistering pace and skill to get past defenders however final ball is lacking.

It's the same with our medical staff as well. People acting like they're miracle workers

Steve Walsh - professional scout, travelling the world to watch players in person with excellent recent history of buying players that other people know very little about and them turning out to be successful, high-value footballers.

 

Koke - some guy on an internet forum basing his opinion of players on Nigerian hearsay on twitter and YouTube videos. 

 

 

 

Hmm, whilst I understand Walsh isn't going to have a 100% hit rate I can still see why people question you, questioning Steve Walsh.  lol

If I remember correctly fans of Fuchs old club didn't rate him, look how well he played for us.

Yep, thought he didnt have enough pace and was poor defensively.

Inter thought Cambiasso was shit too.

Villa didn't rate Albrighton.

Nobody rated Simpson.

Infact, nearly all of our players were deemed 'not good enough' before this season so who really cares what a few Nigerians think on twitter.

I'd be more interested in what the CSKA Moscow fans thought to be honest.

Even then, noone knows how he'll perform in a Leicester shirt in our system with our style of fast attacking play.

I'm sure this was tongue in cheek, right? 

 

Compared to Arsenal's medical team they should be considered miracle workers - rightly so.

What do CSKA Moscow fans know? They've only been watching Musa play home and away for the last 4 years.

Opinion of John Bennett- BBC's African football expert on Twitter just now.

0538636c7e91b99ad3cac856469a7cd7.jpg

Not saying he's the be all and end all but maybe more reliable than Mourinho Kanye.

Didn't realise that Nigeria hadn't qualified for the AFCON - might explain why the fans aren't exactly enamoured with some of the players.

Could Kramaric be regarded as a panic buy? It was January, he just had a break out season. It's probable we never heard of the fella until he started banging in those goals earlier in the season.

Whereas players like Okazaki, Amartey, Ulloa, etc, we've watched for over a season, even two seasons & been sure of their capabilities. Kramaric would have been more of a risk. But some risks pay off (Mahrez, Vardy), sometimes they don't (Kramaric).

It wasn't a panic buy, it was a punt given his stats. It's a shame it didn't work out. It's not arguably been an expensive risk given it didn't impact our results or final outcome. Had we just scraped safety perhaps, but ultimately it didn't. I imagine a lesson will have been learned too.
