The Musa situation will go down as an oddity for me. Because musa isn't a bad player, if he had a good run of games to start building his confidence up in the prem he'd be great. Problem is we aren't a team that can afford to carry him why his confidence is as low as it has been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxile5 Posted 16 February 2018 Share Posted 16 February 2018 I hope that we don't get him purely for the ridiculous lengths commentators will go to to pronounce his name in an odd manner. Tor-gain Azz-air. Same as his brother Ai-den Azz-air. Really gets on my tits the ridiculous lengths commentators go to. Stringer and Mendy's first name. Morons.

Not sure if you've noticed his desire to leave as he's been very subtle about it. Hahaha... Riyad is only leaving if someone meets our price tag. Which is not a given to happen.

I can't have been the only one to notice Motson managing to pronounce Sigurdsson in 2 different ways in the same sentence on MOTD last Saturday. Or to be more accurate, with different emphases, on different syllables. Comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't hear Korean commentators breaking their necks to pronounce Rooneh in an English manner. Nor do the Germans start pronouncing Ws to show how cultured they are. In England we have six different pronunciations for anyone who has a foreign name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got more than enough games to prove his worth or show what he's capable of. He never did. 0 footballing brain, 0 first touch, 0 ball control, 0 passing, 3 managers not convinced by his performances, All pace and nothing else, yeah screw this kind of players. Just because he was a top scorer in a pub league doesn't make him a good striker, winger, whatever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He showed his touch and footballing brain when scored a brace against Everton last season. Just because YOU don't like him doesn't mean he's a bad player. He's every bit a confidence player. If you can't see that then that's your problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, he didn't even see the bench at the end of the Shakey era, Puel sent him directly to the U23 and then offloaded him as soon as it was possible. Would you say that Puel doesn't LIKE him too?

Please, he played in the CL with the less worse club of a poor bunch. Don't tell me you rate the actual russian league? I loved the old soviet clubs though. They played some silk football back then. Nigeria are also a far cry of what they were compared to the the 90s and beginning of the 2000s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had more than 'one or two good moments though hasn't he. But that doesn't suit your argument so you ignore them. He needs time, he needs an arm on the shoulder and he needs support. As for your pub league comment he also played in those micky mouse cup competitions the champions league and world cup. But you're right. Everyone in the game is wrong. He's shit pal. Tell me. Either side of the promotion season what was your opinion on a certain Jamie Vardy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he or did he not still turn up and put in performances in that competition against top sides? He's a tidy player who's shown glimpses but not settled: but history is littered with those - mascherano didn't get on at West ham, quality in the same division at Liverpool...

Fair enough, we'll see if he does better outside Russia and I agree to disagree. Out of all the new siginings it was the only one I never could rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is we aren't a team that can afford to carry him why his confidence is as low as it has been. Have to agree. Musa's performances nose dived dramatically whilst at the club and in the end his confidence was shot. In his opening game against Hull i thought he was our best player. Compare that to his last game against Millwall when he was all over the place. Some players never regain their confidence. Have to wait and see how Musa reacts now.

Him not fitting with us doesn't mean he isn't fit for the Prem. It means he isn't a fit for what we needed. There are worse players on Prem squads right now.

bpfox Posted 18 February 2018 Share Posted 18 February 2018 what annoys me must when we buy players, we dont play them or give them a run in the team to prove what they got, why buy someone and let them rot on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to be linked with hundreds of "skill" players but most of them will want to play in a CL team. Fortunately we have Diabaté and Gray so I'm not too worried about a Freemehrez replacement as I was before Daibaté and silva arrived. RB is still my biggest concern.

STEVIE B Posted 18 February 2018 Share Posted 18 February 2018 Surely, if Musa was PL standard, wouldn’t a PL club have taken him on loan ( Ulloa, Brighton) ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
