lgfualol Posted 5 June 2018 Posted 5 June 2018 Such a boring signing. Same with Patrick Roberts. Offer 40m for some Brazilian with flair please. 1

He's definitely direct! and I didn't say anything about a fee I just said I'd take him as he's different I think it highlights either A) Mark Albrighton is underrated achieving similar numbers in 500 mins less playing time and in a less "Direct" more defensive manner. Or B) Andros Townsend is slightly overrated given the additional minutes and the "Direct" playing style he has benefited from. If he is no better than Albrighton he certainly isnt a replacement for Mahrez, so why would he leave a team where he played in 36 games to become a bit part player?

Ric Flair Posted 5 June 2018 Posted 5 June 2018 He's a better version of Albrighton in my opinion on the other side. As a Mahrez replacement though it stinks, he'd be crucified here. 1
kyleolly Posted 5 June 2018 Posted 5 June 2018 He ripped our defence to bits last season but I don’t suppose that took a lot of doing!

Foxes1 Posted 5 June 2018 Posted 5 June 2018 If he comes here it will make you wonder who is recommending we sign these same players we keep getting linked with every window. Does the manager have any say in it or is it again our DOF and his recruitment team who have proved many times in the past not up to it.
Katy Posted 5 June 2018 Posted 5 June 2018 For the love of God no! I can’t believe some of the shite we have been linked with.
gerrytaggart Posted 5 June 2018 Posted 5 June 2018 Townsend is an average premier league winger. We should be aiming higher than average IMO.
Babylon Posted 5 June 2018 Posted 5 June 2018 Harshly treated on here, he'd bring a decent balance to the side. Hard working, but with a creative edge and makes chances. People expecting a straight Mahrez replacement are deluded. We are trying to bring more creativity all over the pitch, so that we aren't reliant so much on one amazing talent. You can see that in the attacking full backs and the creative 10 we are after. 3
Blue Ed Posted 5 June 2018 Posted 5 June 2018 If we as a club are seriously challenging for 5 to 7 place next season then it's not a great signing.

Or perhaps one plays with zaha (who's good) and benteke (who's shite) and the other played by mahrez and vardy.

RumbleFox Posted 5 June 2018 Posted 5 June 2018 If he was cheapish would be a good addition to the squad. If we want to become a "big boy" we should have squad players of this quality happy to not be starters every week. Not everyone we sign this window, even if they are wingers, has to be seen as a direct Mahrez replacement. As a squad player I can't see any issues with this.
