Max Power Posted 30 June 2017 Share Posted 30 June 2017 Hmmm quite similar to Vardy from what I've seen. Too similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheppyFox Posted 1 July 2017 Author Share Posted 1 July 2017 Know nothing about him to be honest, his name sounds like some sort of international assassin alias, therefore GERRIMIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only seen a few clips but certainly got the feeling he's a bit like Vardy. This guy comes in it surely means the end of Musa, as he was signed as the pace man to replace Vardy if needed.

We aren't going to get better then Vardy because he's integral to how we play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 1 July 2017 Share Posted 1 July 2017 True, in all honesty, Musa hasn't worked. If we can get him out the door and this fella in it'd improve the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 1 July 2017 Share Posted 1 July 2017 This is most likely our Mahrez replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defrel has played left wing a fair amount I'd doubt he'd be a Mahrez replacement, more of a Musa replacement IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strokes Posted 1 July 2017 Share Posted 1 July 2017 If he is an upgrade on musa, which lets face it, won't be that difficult. Musa is off, that's great news! We have got rid of a fraud and hopefully got someone competent in his place. upgrade Shinji, Drinky and Simmo. We are really looking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innovindil Posted 1 July 2017 Share Posted 1 July 2017 Literally a shite Jamie Vardy. Not sure why we'd want him, he's another Musa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 1 July 2017 Share Posted 1 July 2017 Serie A is a damn sight better than the Russian League, this lad scored 16 goals and 5 assists last season, which isn't bad. He's 26 as well so should be in his prime and also room for further improvement, would prefer someone that has done it in the premier league but they aren't cheap. Could be a good signing for us alongside, Iheanacho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted 1 July 2017 Share Posted 1 July 2017 I'm convinced Shakey wants to play 3-5-2 more next season. We continue to be linked with centre backs and I don't see us whacking £18m on someone to be Vardy's understudy. The extra man in midfield means we can play two players up front neither of which is going to drop into midfield like Okazaki, which opens the door to play Slimani and Vardy together or maybe Defrel and Vardy together. Does further the need for another, more attacking and creative central midfielder though (Silva?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see this happening as well, can't see us dropping both of Huth and Morgan, and with us still in the hunt for another CB it'd suggest we'd potentially go for a 3-5-2, chillwell has proven he can play a wingback and same with albrighton.

CyprusFox Posted 1 July 2017 Share Posted 1 July 2017 1 hour ago, Worthington said: Yes, but Sassuolo set up in a different style to us. Their 3 forwards tend to sit narrower so, in 'old money' Defrel's more of an inside forward than an outright winger. Primarily right sided, but can 'do' left or central too! Have seen a little of him on TV, but did the obligatory 'YouTubing' to get a bit more of an idea. Got a bit nostalgic watching some of the clips.....There were moments when a 'left footed Keith Weller' came to mind. Will never be as good as 'Wells' I shouldn't imagine, but something close would be fine ! If he's even close to Wells, gerrrrriiiiimmmmin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't really see him fitting in either as a wingback or right sided centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he looked comfortable at RCB when asked to play there by Shakey & I'd have no worries about him there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
