Unclenobhead Posted 25 June 2017 Share Posted 25 June 2017 Just wondering what everyone thought we can expect from him this season? Having only made 4 appearance over the entire season I've not got a clue which way he is going to go. If if he is fit after a full pre season he could be like an extra signing, albeit a year late. I'm of the opinion he will come good and by Christmas be regarded as a key player but Id be interested to hear what everyone else thinks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted 25 June 2017 Share Posted 25 June 2017 I expect him to leave this summer to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RODNEY FERNIO Posted 25 June 2017 Share Posted 25 June 2017 Quote Utterly pointless signing ... no pace , not a breaker up of play, not an attacking midfielder.... just can spray the occasional long range pass.

Lionheart10 Posted 25 June 2017 Share Posted 25 June 2017 From the small amount of time we have seen him,i'm going to say I reckon he can come good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxed Posted 25 June 2017 Share Posted 25 June 2017 272 minutes he played. The equivalent of three whole matches, in a new league with dubious fitness levels for an out of favour manager. Absolutely NFI. I hope he plays in the friendlies so we can have a better look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 25 June 2017 Share Posted 25 June 2017 How the hell can anyone give you an informed answer? We saw him not fullly match fit for 45 mins against Arsenal and then a couple of games where he was in discomfort (and therefore unlikely to be playing to his standard) whether we get a chance to give you an informed answer remains up in the air.

Col city fan Posted 25 June 2017 Share Posted 25 June 2017 I hope the games he did play, he was unfit/carrying an injury. Cos he was pretty shite. A fully-fit player with a years experience of the Prem under his belt, I'm hoping will look much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieakita Posted 25 June 2017 Share Posted 25 June 2017 We were tracking him for some time and our recruitment team has proved to be one of the best around so got to say IMHO we have really not seen him much at all to make a decision and we would have seen more of him while scouting him than he played all last season so think he deserves a chance of course with the nature of football you do not always get a second chance.

Dan LCFC Posted 25 June 2017 Share Posted 25 June 2017 Can see him going to Nantes to link up with Ranieri again. Possibly on loan as I doubt they'd pay anything like the money we want. I don't think he's a poor player I just don't think he's suited to the way we play at all. He spent his time at Nice playing at the back of a midfield trio - did he ever do that once here? He was never ever a Kante replacement and that was the mistake many made with him. All along I thought he was Inler's replacement, the fact he's French and looks a bit like Kante was a coincidence.

Ian Nacho Posted 25 June 2017 Share Posted 25 June 2017 He looked alright on his debut against Arsenal but after his injury and several botched up surgeries, I think it's unfair to judge an unfit player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb Posted 25 June 2017 Share Posted 25 June 2017 Neither. Hope he doesn't leave before us getting a chance to watch him play properly. Could be great for us! Certainly looked decent in the arsenal game before his ankle went everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever Fox Posted 25 June 2017 Share Posted 25 June 2017 It's hard to know with him really. He was clearly a Ranieri signing and he must have seen something in him. The injury and long time out won't have done him any favors. But I'm sure the Club would have kept him working on his conditioning and fitness. My guess is he'll play in 1 or 2 early PS games and a judgement will be made quickly. If he measures up he'll stay if not he'll be shipped off quickly probably back to France and cut our losses.

Sir Shep Posted 25 June 2017 Share Posted 25 June 2017 He'll probably turn out to be our best midfielder this coming season, if he stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poznan34 Posted 25 June 2017 Share Posted 25 June 2017 There's no way we can judge him yet. We may as well give him another season (same with Slimani) and the best chance to show us what he can do, considering the significant outlay on him. Either he's good > keep Bad > sell, for probably what we would get for him now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RODNEY FERNIO Posted 25 June 2017 Share Posted 25 June 2017 Just my opinion I've also had a good look at clips of him playing in France. Anyway I remember going to the match when O'Neill was booed , particularly when he brought on this skinny little kid who looked completely out of his depth. His name was Muzzy Izzet .... so you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeGuy Posted 25 June 2017 Share Posted 25 June 2017 How people here got such a definitive opinion about a player who was injured and played for a team in free fall is beyond me. There is nothing, I repeat nothing, that can prove that he's a flop or a good signing. The guy almost never played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
