Easy money you really gotta laugh. Seeing as Mahrez was a poundland buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretPro Posted 1 August 2018 Share Posted 1 August 2018 Give the kid a 5 year deal on 80k a week and then spend the last 4 years unsuccessfully trying to offload him. Sounds like good business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazard is best, Ghazzal second? Expected is usually a better guide as it includes shot location, eg overall difficulty of shot, was the assist so good it laid up a one on one, or did it set someone up to shoot from 18 yards out with 3 defenders in the vicinity? This accounts for that. It’s usually a more stable guide, as it doesn’t over inflate players on hot streaks who actually aren’t that great.

Hazard Ghazzal Mahrez Albrighton Gray ? Crudely yes, but you do have to also account for build up play and the PL being a better standard. Mahrez is still the best player for his build up (last season he accounted for 50% of Leicester goals in terms of setting up the pass before the assist, assists and goals). But it does show that Hazard and Ghezzal are better at creating and scoring goals than both Gray and Albrighton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted 1 August 2018 Share Posted 1 August 2018 15 hours ago, EnderbyFox said: Seeing Monaco fans absolutely pissing themselves that we are signing this chap is quite disconcerting, knew we should’ve gone for Andros Townsend It's obviously not infallible but I always think it's a huge red flag when the fans of the team he is coming from can't get him sold quick enough. Monaco fans were desperate for them to sell Carillo to Southampton in January for the £20m fee and the Saints fans now know they've been mugged.
