AKCJ Posted 9 July 2016 Posted 9 July 2016 Did you think the thread title said Moose Signs? That was the joke, yes.
murphy Posted 9 July 2016 Posted 9 July 2016 Dunno, because it's true? http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=62&season_id=130 No apologies needed. Well...err... it seems I ...um... stand corrected. (although it was actually nine league plus one v villa fa cup according to your link.) but point taken.
Sharpe's Foxes Posted 10 July 2016 Posted 10 July 2016 Musa scored twice against Argentina at the world cup. Musa was made captain of Nigeria at age 22. Shows his leadership qualities much like Austrian captain (Fuchs), Jamacian captain (Wes Morgan), and probably soon to be Danish captain (Schmeichel), Morocaan Captain (Mahrez) and Japanese captain (Okazaki). It seems like Leicester has a policy of looking for leadership. Equally telling is he unselfishly gave up the captaincy to let 29 year old man, Jon Obi Mikel have his last go at it. That shows that he is unselfish and willing to defer in the interest of the team and to the main goal scorer, Vardy.
Tielemans63 Posted 10 July 2016 Posted 10 July 2016 Morocaan Captain (Mahrez) There's just two things wrong with this particular sentence. Other than that, agree with what your saying about leadership. I'm sure that's why we were able to keep our nerve when Spurs couldn't. We've got some fantastic leaders in the side.

hornyhollthefox123 Posted 10 July 2016 Posted 10 July 2016 Apologies if I've missed it but did we establish if he's in the olympics squad? Presuming not if he's travelled to Austria with the squad ..
Grey Fox Posted 10 July 2016 Posted 10 July 2016 That was the joke, yes. I thought it was meant more as a play on the word crossing, which would have been equally as good. Unless of course it was both? In which case, well done.
adimo1409 Posted 11 July 2016 Posted 11 July 2016 good thing for LCFC Nigeria didn't qualify for AFCON so he will be here in january , don't know if he'll play in the Olympics though which could disrupt his pre-season since the club already refused to let Mahrez play in the same tournament may be they will do the same with Musa
Babylon Posted 11 July 2016 Posted 11 July 2016 Well...err... it seems I ...um... stand corrected. (although it was actually nine league plus one v villa fa cup according to your link.) but point taken. Nay problem @@murphy, I was bloody amazed the first time I realised what he'd got. I'd imagine the biggest issue wasn't what he scored, but what he missed. 10 might seem an ok return now, but if you're missing 5 clear cut chances a game, it's a poor return.
filbertstreet Posted 11 July 2016 Posted 11 July 2016 So he's not actually signed yet then? yeah he definitely has mate in austria training at the moment didn't you see his jeans
ARM1968 Posted 11 July 2016 Posted 11 July 2016 Let's hope he tears up the Prem like he has his jeans. Opposition defences will be in tatters.
Frank_mckenzie Posted 11 July 2016 Posted 11 July 2016 I don't know if anybody has seen this but not a bad little read from four four two http://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/meet-ahmed-musa-nigerias-speedster-set-boost-leicesters-champions-league-charge
Long Eaton Fox Posted 11 July 2016 Posted 11 July 2016 I meant he's not had FA and work permit granted yet?
wiseone Posted 12 July 2016 Posted 12 July 2016 Hi Leicester fans, I am a Nigerian football fan. I will repeat what I have said about Musa before: THE GOOD: 1) Lightning pace. He is one of the fastest players in world football today. He is probably faster than even Jamie Vardy. 2) Good dribbler and excellent close control. He is most dangerous if he is given space to run with the ball. Think Mahrez with 2 yards extra pace. 3) Nigeria (once again!) failed to qualify for the AFCON. This means he will not disappear for a month in January (and we will not be subjected to the usual spectacle of EPL managers whining about their shock and surprise that an African footballer has been called up to play for his country in a tournament which takes place every 2 years and which has been in the football calendar since before colour TV was invented). THE BAD: 1) His final ball/crossing can be poor at times. 2) He can blow"hot and cold". He is just as likely to put a 30 yard screamer into the top corner, as he is to put it into row Z.

Do you think his good value for the monies paid?
Fox 4 Life Posted 13 July 2016 Posted 13 July 2016 Musa interview - "I don't feel pressure"... Where have we heard that one before
queensguardfox Posted 14 July 2016 Posted 14 July 2016 Nice little interview clip on SSN, seems down to earth and ticks a few boxes in attitude
wiseone Posted 25 July 2016 Posted 25 July 2016 On July 12, 2016 at 14:10, HankMarvin said: Do you think his good value for the monies paid? Absolutely. Given today's mad transfer prices - he is very good value for money. Even better he is a humble, down to earth lad. He will not come into the Leicester dressing room with a "Big Time Charlie" attitude. Of course, if/when Nigeria ever get their act together and qualify for the AFCON again, he will start disappearing from the Leicester team for 1 month every 2 years.
Great Boos Up Posted 3 August 2016 Posted 3 August 2016 A BIG ol bump. We've lost Kante and gained Musa. Fast and bloody strong on the ball. This guy is tearing Barcelona apart! No wonder we courted him for what seems like 4 transfer windows.
foxinsox Posted 3 August 2016 Posted 3 August 2016 Money well spent. He is going to be tgs in the prem. Probably!
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 3 August 2016 Posted 3 August 2016 Looks like a top signing based on tonight's display. The pace and finishing - superb. I look forward to watching him play for us more...
