Be interested to see how he does at Southampton. Don't think we are asking for mega stars as such, just a level or two below which I don't think this Rachid guy is. I'm surprised we haven't been more ambitious and gone for someone like Promes or Hazard, as I think both would come here with the pull of Premier League football and a very decent wage. Hopefully, Rachid is one of two wingers arriving, as I do think we needed two wingers/attackers anyway. If not, then I hope he really does find a way to shine here, as we will desperately need him to.
teblin Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 Doesn't look too inspiring, however happy to make judgement when he plays. Plenty of players just need the right fit, hopefully we are his and he exceeds expectation.

We are trying to get rid of rubbish and deadwood that doesn’t fit in. Then we sign another. Why? This guy is actual, unadulterated, crap. Honestly this is now becoming farcical.

FLAN Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 Do you think many players should be drawn to the attraction of Puel? If I were recruiting I’d keep them away from the tedious boring fool

Didn't see players desperate to sign for us and play for Claudio after winning the league. Can't imagine plahers are too bothered about playing for Mark Hughes or Roy hodgeson either.

Many of those were bought with many on here thinking they would. But as I said was hoping for better
norwichfox Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 Deep joy...another feckin' Algerian fan boy magnet....
HankMarvin Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 Another Raggy doll signing people compare to mahrez, we was in the championship. since then we have won the premier league and got to the quarters of the Champions league, sold out best player for 60m and even then we can’t replace him with someone half decent on paper. Not expecting miracles, but we have just sold our best player and are the wealthiest the club has ever been, lets show a bit of intent in the Transfer market. people will say Evans and Maddison but it could be argued them signings could’ve come a season before or at least in a positional sense. you have to wonder if we will regret not capitalising on our current wealth and on being one of the bigger teams outside the top six with the way other new sides are spending.
Mehrez Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 (edited) I’ll be sensible and reserve judgement until I actually see him play. We have a lack of wingers so I have feeling he’s for the squad rather than a guaranteed starter Edited 3 August 2018 by Mehrez

Do you have grounds to provide a positive judgement. The guy is shit mate. No but i dont have any grounds to provide a negative one either. Clearly someone has made a judgement that hes not shit and i dont think we can say whether or not that judgement was accurate till we see him play. Dont get me wrong i'm not particularly enthused by this signing but as others have pointed out we could have said the same of the likes of Mahrez before we actually saw what they could do up close... 1
baldeagle Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 Although this signing does absolutely nothing for me 5 million isn’t a huge amount . Sometimes you have to take a gamble he could be good he could be terrible . I felt the same way when we signed Albrighton on a free and he’s not been too bad a signing .
SheppyFox Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 We seem to be told Monaco fans don’t rate him, what do Algerians think?

We have a lack of wingers so I have feeling he’s for the squad rather than a guaranteed starter I really hope not. Our squad is already bloated. We should only be looking at this point for starters (like the first 3 signings we made).

I’d add Rafa, Klopp, Howe, Poch as managers players would want to play for. What I meant to say is he may actually be a reason to not come here based on what we see of him. So dour
