Ric Flair Posted 1 August 2017 Share Posted 1 August 2017 Still think there's a modicum of ability there somewhere but if someone wants to reimburse us close to what we've initially outlayed then yes please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's there, he just looks shot of confidence to me. If he gets that and some help adjusting to the physicality, he could be class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Nacho Posted 1 August 2017 Share Posted 1 August 2017 I think he'll be worth keeping, especially if Mahrez and possibly Lawrence go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 2 August 2017 Share Posted 2 August 2017 Take the bloody money while his stock is 'high' after he's looked half good in a game against lower league opposition in a friendly. He's shit and friendlies won't change that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has clearly been bulking up this summer and is still one of if not the fastest player in the league. But...... He's not going to going to come good unless he has a run of games say 6 or 7 starts and that does not look like happening any time soon with Albrighton, Gray and Mahrez ahead of him on the wings and Vardy, Slimani, Kelichi and argueably Shinji and Leo ahead of him up front. So maybe on balance we are best to sell to a club who has a plan on how best to utilise his talents its not good for the player or the squad in general to have sort after players not even in the match day squad.

yorkie1999 Posted 4 August 2017 Share Posted 4 August 2017 I got the feeling that ihenacho was looking forward to teaming up with ndidi and musa after listening to his interview yesterday, so I doubt we'll be looking to sell musa just yet.

cc_star Posted 4 August 2017 Share Posted 4 August 2017 They only want to loan him because we're probably paying ridiculous wages If he can't make the breakthrough, I'd do a 90 day loan to a Championship club, he'll get a better hand on physicality of English game & you'd hope he'd bag some & his confidence will be up... And he'll be re-joining us at a busy time of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lacks too many basic skills to persevere with. His ball control and especially his weight of pass are shocking. He has certain qualities but lacks appallingly on too many others and they're the type of skills at his age you either have it or you don't and no amount of training is going to alter that significantly. We should be trying to recoup as much money as possible whether that be a transfer fee or a loan fee with wages covered. There's no harm in admitting to ourselves it was bad business from the start and trying to recoup what we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. I am also now curious to see if Musa can step up his level now that he has had time to settle. I'd be tempted to give him 6 months to prove himself, similar to Mendy, unless a big offer comes in for either. A loan deal for Mendy makes more sense than Musa. Come on Musa, prove us doubters wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzzyfox6 Posted 4 August 2017 Share Posted 4 August 2017 Will always love him for that Barca goal, especially being stood behind the goal thinking he can't can he.... What an introduction that was, he just hasn't lived up to it. Endeavour has always been there, thinking back to Spurs away last season. Perhsps a loan move to gain game time will benefit him and we could have the player we thought on our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 4 August 2017 Share Posted 4 August 2017 I see no point in loaning him to a rival. We save a few quid and they get any benefit. We either keep him or sell him. I'd keep him and sell Ulloa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had our money's worth out of Ulloa and he no longer has the quality we need. He would love a new deal so that he can sit and complain about not playing whilst earning money no-one else will pay him. I say let him go at whatever price to anyone who wants him. Hopefully a prem team which'll prove they are so much weaker than us. Slimani hasn't paid his money off yet and he still could. If Vardy is injured or hits a bad patch like last season then Slim and Nacho could be a winning formula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly We just need to get Slim out of the treatment room to score all the goals he's obviously capable of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
