Finnegan Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 At the risk of going full @Ric Flair and talking about a ridiculous young talent we're not even vaguely linked to just because we like knowing about upcoming footballers we've seen on ESPN or Eurosport... If you're desperate for a Lyon produced Algerian attacking midfielder then you want to get on Houssem Aouar before his value catapults next year. Not that they'd probably sell him tbf. Had a brilliant breakthrough season last year and has future France International written all over him. 1 1

YesNdidi Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 If we have a transfer budget of 60+ Million then why are we bin-dipping? Unless he isn’t the only winger we’re signing
Walshie is God Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 FFS let the guy put a blue shirt on before condemning him 1
st albans fox Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 Apropos of nothing- quite a few lpool fans were underwhelmed by Salah’s arrival this time last year ........... one never knows 1
Walshie is God Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 Agreed. Judge him on his Leicester performances not what he's done in the past.
Livid Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 I wasn't expecting us to get Mahrez Mk II but I was expecting someone with some solid form behind them to come in as a replacement. Nothing against him personally. Maybe Monaco was a bad move for him, maybe he'll feel revitalised here and Puel will be able to get the best out of him, he might be a revelation, who knows ? I just feel we've lost our best player and are now looking for a cheap option.

Proving that people should actually consult statistical evidence (like the evidence that says Rachid is shit) before passing judgement. Just now, Walshie is God said: Agreed. Judge him on his Leicester performances not what he's done in the past. That's moronic. How would our scouting team ever make any judgement on a player? Recruitment would just be walking on to the street, grabbing a few vaguely athletic looking people, handing them a Leicester shirt and a football and saying "would you mind kicking this please? Thanks." 2
Guest the fox Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 sigh I don't really know about this signing tbh but hopefully, the club isn't looking at him to be a Mahrez replacement. Think it is fair to say that I watched him play the most compared to others here so I will try to give a fair assessment of him. He is an Algerian left-footed RM, not Physically great to say the least, he doesn't have an eye-catching defensive work-rate and he looks passive at times. His weak-foot is ....ahm... weak? and he isn't exactly the poster-boy for consistency. (Ringz a bell?). On the other side, He's a flair player, can score free-kicks and take set-pieces better than Riyad. He's a playmaking winger. Imo, He's a "boom or bust" signing. He doesn't have bad decision making and the tangibles are there. The question is, can he make it in the league and does he have time to be integrated into the system? I wasn't rooting for this move but if he comes here then I hope he can help the club get a European spot.

SouthStandUpperTier Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 Just now, Worthington said: Unfortunately that won't happen … Judging by some of the tat being written on here, there's a hit squad who are absolutely desperate for RM's replacement to fail here …. irrespective of who it turns out to be ! I don't think any Leicester fan wants that. They just want the club to buy the best winger available within the club's budget, and many, legitimately, don't feel Ghezzal is that guy. 1
Merging Cultures Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 I am not going to leap to conclusions about this player. But if we did get him, I'd hope he takes the opportunity by the horns and spring(bok)s into action.

80footgiraffe Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 Absolutely ridiculous signing. 60m for Mahrez, 15m for Musa, I’m not expecting us to spend £75m on a player but I mean even £35/£40m would be expected. The way the market is going we should be setting new transfer records every summer to keep up
sphericalfox Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 This guy is worryingly cheap. I hope this is agent talk to encourage a deal elsewhere
Max Power Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 Small fee. If he’s on a reasonable wage it may be a risk worth taking. Hopefully there’s a bigger and better name coming in also
danny2997 Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 It seems everyone on here wants the most expensive player, not the best player. Yet I suspect the same people slate the club for the money they wasted on Slimani. 2
