Baghdad Bounedjah

[CloudFox]

Love that goalscoring record, but he's 27, playing in the Qatari league and has minimal caps (and no goals) for his national side.

 

Doesn't scream 'he can make the step up' to me.

[Kopic]

Any signing that keeps Ghezzal happy is ok with me.

I know what you're saying but he could replace okazaki off the bench 

[Langston]

Always enjoy people slating the defending in compilations of attackers scoring goals, as if it's some sort of surprise

[Lovejoy]

Struggling to get excited about this but that’s quite a scoring record, not like the guy could do much more.

[pazzerfox]

He looks shite!

[Haywood_6]

That goalscoring record is unbelievable. How much do they want for him, can we do a swap with Nacho?

[UniFox21]

Bisno Brothers saying this too, may as well ignore this one lads

[Stevosevic]

That league looks so shit

 

[lcfc sheff]

Load of rubbish never happening

[Hawkers]

I mean in terms of replacing an attacker for an attacker, yes. But otherwise they're nothing alike!

 

I do understand what you mean though - gives us another option. I've no idea from that video or any coverage of him what type of striker he is though. A target man? He doesn't look like a poacher, which is good for us.

From what i have heard he can definitely be a target man.

Us and Leeds?! That's quite a contrast!! Can Leeds afford £14m???

Never going to progress to the next level with signings like this. Can we not bid for somebody proven, we need a couple of big names to get into the top 6 and not squad fillers.

17 caps and 7 goals.

[The Doctor]

Fantastic numbers, and in that video he looks like he's got pretty good technique. But, he's 27 in a rubbish league, high risk thinking he can step up

[Ric Flair]

Absolutely sensational moustache and little beard. IN

[Ric Flair]

All I see when I watch that video is Aguero

[RumbleFox]

Aaaah, Foxestalk, the home of "hilarious" casual racism.  X

Algerian striker Bounedjah linked with Leicester

12 hours ago

Algerian international striker Baghdad Bounedjah is being linked with a move to Premier League side Leicester City, according to Stade El Doha.

The 27-year-old is set to be the top scorer in world football for 2018, scoring 60 goals for club and country. This includes helping Algeria qualify for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations as well as finish as the top scorer in the Asian Champions League.

Bounedjah has been scoring goals for fun with Al Sadd in the Qatari League, including netting seven goals in one league game. He plays alongside the likes for former Barcelona midfielder Xavi.

Leicester have had three Algerian footballers in recent years, with Riyad Mahrez, Islam Slimani and Rachid Ghezzal all featuring for the Foxes.

Bounedjah is a clinical forward who is two-footed and has bags of ability. He has quick feet and some skills in his locker and is not just a target man.

Although he will seem an unfamiliar name to most, Bielsa tried to sign him at Leeds last summer and now Marseille are also said to be interested in the forward.

He has more goals for club and country this calendar year than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and is available for no more than £10million which would be a bargain.

[WestLothianFox]

Swap him for Slimani?

More proven then I thought then. Still, I've no idea how good those opposition sides are in International terms.
