Yet I suspect the same people slate the club for the money they wasted on Slimani. This guy is neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxpleasure Posted 3 August 2018 Share Posted 3 August 2018 People are too quick to judge a player without seeing him. I'm going to wait until I've seen him play then slag him off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 3 August 2018 Share Posted 3 August 2018 Jahanbaksh’s agent said we tried to get him in so this guy may well be a low budget stop gap to play in that right midfield/ wing role cutting in if he doesnt work out then he won’t be on a huge salary and won’t have cost a lot.

In fairness I think this club has been most successful in my opinion at the times when it’s had me thinking “we’re ran by idiots and we’re doomed” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Markyblue Posted 3 August 2018 Share Posted 3 August 2018 Don't want the most expensive just not him. There is better out there than him let's have some ambition squad player or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 3 August 2018 Share Posted 3 August 2018 I personally think he's worth the 5m. He's not going to be starting over Gray or Albrighton from the start but I think there's a chance he could become an exciting player for us. I'd like us to either Hazard/Promes/Januzai (in that order of preference) and let Diabate go out to the Championship on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphericalfox Posted 3 August 2018 Share Posted 3 August 2018 This could be a stopgap as people have pointed out, and that might be simply as we can't afford until we ship out a few more. Optimistically, we do then having a chat cost us nothing. We then sign Promes and Hazard and end the season in qualifying for the Champions League. Sure that's going tooooo far, but just saying...

SheppyFox Posted 3 August 2018 Share Posted 3 August 2018 Another thing to note; I’m sure I read someone saying that he’d had one really good season in the recent past, so if that’s the case he does have ability, it’s simply about creating the right environment to get the ability/form out of him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenTheFox Posted 3 August 2018 Share Posted 3 August 2018 What will be, will be. If I have to drink to the extent I did towards the tail end of last season just to get through the games, that's what I'll do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStandUpperTier Posted 3 August 2018 Share Posted 3 August 2018 If we really are on our uppers and this is genuinely the best we can do (budget and talent-wise), then I'm starting to think we should have rinsed United for Maguire and used some of that money to bolster the squad instead.

AjcW Posted 3 August 2018 Share Posted 3 August 2018 I love threads like this, these players tend to turn into worldies for us You can't grumble at £5m whether he plays every game or no games! Could be a very smart bit of business and I hope he does well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bench player for sure and for a low fee it's fine. He could bring something different. Just think we already got mediocre talent and need better than mediocre. Ps. What horrible music was on that video. Mute! Edited 3 August 2018 by Jattdogg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realist Guy In The Room Posted 3 August 2018 Share Posted 3 August 2018 We cant replace Mahrez with 1 player. A player of that calibre just wont come here. What we can do though is sign some players with more ability than other outgoing players to bring the overall quality of the squad up. This bloke isn’t as good as Ahmed Musa. He’s not even as good as Jeff Schlupp. The only saving grace is he isn’t gonna cost much so its less to right off next transfer window. Absolute dogshit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
