Vindaloo FOX Posted 30 July 2018 Posted 30 July 2018 Have a friend who is married to a Lyon fan, he said Rachid was a very good player for them. I'm hoping if he does come to us Puel gets the best out of him. 1
GeorgeTheFox Posted 30 July 2018 Posted 30 July 2018 For the love of God stop suggesting Ben Arfa. It's laughable at this point the guy lives off kebabs and hasn't played for like a year and a half. We'd be better off sending the Birch out there 3

On Ghezzal, i think he could be a decent addition to the squad if he does join, not sure if hed be a Mahrez replacement, but at least it would add another creative edge to the squad
Popular Post Nick Posted 30 July 2018 Popular Post Posted 30 July 2018 Ghezzal struggled last season didn’t he? Rather have Ben Arfa tbh. 2 3
KFS Posted 30 July 2018 Posted 30 July 2018 Sign this guy and Alcacer, keep Maguire and sell the deadwood to the highest bidder 3

lcfc278 Posted 30 July 2018 Posted 30 July 2018 I'm not sure about this Ghezzal guy. If we don't go for him I've heard that Ben Arfa is available on a Free Transfer though? 2
Finnegan Posted 30 July 2018 Posted 30 July 2018 Vichai is obviously very attached to the Algerian Facebook followers and doesn't want to lose them. There must always be an Algerian in Leicester.
Edingleyfox Posted 30 July 2018 Posted 30 July 2018 Need to be convinced that he is any better than what we already have.We seem to be looking for a like for like replacement which is almost impossible.

He was excellent for Lyon for half a season, didn't do much before or after that and most Monaco fans are happy for him to leave their club, as well. Somewhat overhyped and inconsistent, coupled with a bad attitude. No from me.

Yep, and that after coming on as a substitute. Also suspended for one more European game if I'm not mistaken - saw red in the Champions League against Porto last December.

FoxinNotts Posted 30 July 2018 Posted 30 July 2018 Hear me out on this one... Imagine if the day before we confirmed the sale of Mahrez to Man City, we announced the signing of Maddison and Ghezzal (or someone of similar quality) for a combined undisclosed fee. I think we would all be a lot happier than we are now, with essentially the same potential outcome. Comments? 2

The fact is there is a massive culture problem in rugby at the moment which includes bullying within the professional set ups, very similar to what Kevin Petersen said regarding the cricket. It goes down all levels of ability and has resulted in many players quitting and getting therapy for depression. This undoubtedly happens in football too but their egos are not quite as macho or intimidating as there is so much more media attention and focus on them. Every rugby team I've played for, the same problem is there. Footballers often get the same labels but most of the time it is unjust and simply because they don't know how to handle the limelight. Sorry for the rant, going way off topic. Edited 31 July 2018 by srex9

Sorry for the rant, going way off topic. No need to apologise. It's a fairly calm debate between us, no mud flinging. I will disagree all I want though, as you've suggested. I don't doubt what you're saying about rugby (or any sport), I just think it's a giant leap of faith to believe it's a bigger problem than it is in football. I think the ego's on footballers earning anything between £100k and £500k per week will well outweigh those (in general) of rugby players. That is the natural order with the human race in 2018. It may not be as macho or intimidating (using your words) but it will surface in other ways too. We've had a short debate now. You will never agree with me and I will never agree with you. Best agree to disagree and leave it there as I don't see where this conversation can go. I'm not looking to have the last word btw, respond by all means to this post, I just won't engage on this point again for the reason I've just stated. Edited 31 July 2018 by Max Wall
