ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 29 July 2018 Share Posted 29 July 2018 (edited) Gotta be a better option than Diabate atm Is he any better than a free Ben Arfa though? Edited 29 July 2018 by ROB-THE-BLUE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 29 July 2018 Share Posted 29 July 2018 His record looks woeful, so what am I missing? I presume this would be a stop gap until we can rescout better options or what we've scouted before finally become available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxinNotts Posted 29 July 2018 Share Posted 29 July 2018 2015/16 he got 8 and 8 for Lyon. That’s pretty decent tbf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sphericalfox Posted 29 July 2018 Share Posted 29 July 2018 Seems to be going cheap, too cheap. Alarm bells for me on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted 29 July 2018 Share Posted 29 July 2018 15 minutes ago, SheppyFox said: To be fair it isn’t always accurate to judge a player on what he’s done at his current club. Mahrez wasn’t much good before us (I think), slimani was good for sporting, as a loose example. Hope if we get him he does well Whilst I agree it's not a metric that is fool proof it doesn't bode well. There are far more examples of fans who say a player isn't that great being proved right than the other way round. When fans of the selling club think they've had you over they're invariably right.

FoxinNotts Posted 29 July 2018 Share Posted 29 July 2018 he was basically as good as Mahrez a couple of seasons ago. Mahrez has continued that form, essentially, but Ghezzal’s has dropped. Made some poor club choices. Maybe he can gain from another fresh start under Puel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you also have to look at the opposition quality as well. Anyway, Puel knows him from old. Think I’d rather have this guy than Ben Arfa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather steer clear of such players. Only positive aspect is the rumoured transfer fee of £3.5m. We'd better sign a rugby player I reckon. Most footballers fall within that group somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 29 July 2018 Share Posted 29 July 2018 He's definitely very talented and in the Mahrez mold. I'd say with Puels coaching to get him back on track and for the money quoted he's definitely worth the risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc sheff Posted 29 July 2018 Share Posted 29 July 2018 5m, low risk and got a point to prove, would be okay with this but still need to offload a feckload obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechey Posted 29 July 2018 Share Posted 29 July 2018 Goal and assist every 162.84 minutes is a better record than Mahrez had in our team to be fair. For £5m surely it's worth a punt if we end up getting rid of Musa. Would still rather a guaranteed quality player, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to formally register my objections to this transfer unless we do sign him and he turns out good; in which case I will deny I ever said any of the above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
