Didn't schlupp score a hat trick on his debut?

 

You are correct, he did. Joe Dodoo also scored a hattrick on his debut in the cup against lower league opposition.

Looks like we have another gem on our cards. Showed Gray up big time. 

 

Wont be long until he is getting prem minutes.

Looks miles ahead of Gray based on that performance.

 

I've been pretty critical of Gray this season - decision-making, particularly - but I thought he was pretty good today: linked well with team-mates, put defenders under pressure with his pace/dribbling, not too greedy, released ball quicker...

 

Diabaté certainly has promise, though, albeit just 1 match v. a L1 team: good first touch, apparently decent with both feet, able to accelerate away from defenders, good finishing, decent ball retention and link-up work.

Will be interesting now to see him against PL defenders via a few appearances from the bench, hopefully.

Off to Chelsea then?

They likes them a Malian (+10M) and a Leicester mid (+20M).

 

60 million pounds then!

Leicester Mercury has it around £2 mill http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/fousseni-diabate-leicester-city-transfer-1027990

The contract probably has a series of payments depending on progress (appearances etc) so it might end up as the £4.4m suggested.

 

You can only hope they learned from the Kante contract and have not agreed a sell-on or release clause.

Silmani?

 

Nope. Slimani made his debut in the  Champions League against Brugge.

Played in his debut as if he had played in the team for years. Great all round confident performance. Looked assured in possession as well as lively off the ball.

Fair comment about Schlupp and Dodoo's debuts.

 

Some clever touches though, the first was a lovely bit of play from him. Looked pretty decent really, well done to him.

I agree he was good today. Always found pockets of space in behind their back 4 and created space with his driving runs. He did well.

 

EDIT: Was talking about Gray originally. Diabate was also pretty good!

I wonder if it's a credit to the player himself or Puel's system that he was able to slot in so seamlessly, or both. It looks like he already has a great understanding with his teammates.

His decision making was top notch today. Released the ball when he had to and shot when he had to. That's my #1 priority in a player, decision making. Not pace or aerial strength or work ethic (though all those are useful) but their intelligence. Kid looks like he has a football brain on him. Very excited about him.

So... I think we have concluded he's good. Next question, based on today where would you play him?

Definitely an outfield player…. Never in goal…
