foxfanazer Posted 24 January 2019 Posted 24 January 2019 The football experts on here had him hung, drawn and quartered before he'd kicked a ball for us. He's not been as bad as some like to make out. Plenty of room for improvement though

He is a steady outfit, that would fit in a championship side.

I don't think it's Ghezzal's fault, he is who he is.
H.a.r.r.y Posted 24 January 2019 Posted 24 January 2019 As long as he gives 100% like Albrighton, he will improve over time

Jonezy Posted 24 January 2019 Posted 24 January 2019 Love the attitude. Still really really hope that most of that 12 million price is performance based.

nnfox Posted 24 January 2019 Posted 24 January 2019 Sometimes we (certainly I) forget that these guys are young lads, moving to a foreign country, having to learn a foreign language, find new friends, new home, new everything. I know they get help and astronomical wages to soften the blow, but there is a regular person in there and some people settle quicker than others. Sounds like he has a good attitude and is prepared to work hard to push on. Good luck to him.
KrefelderFox666 Posted 24 January 2019 Posted 24 January 2019 I like him, I think he has a lot to offer given more time. Let's not forget that Mahrez was fairly average in the first year or so.

Wolfox, Babylon and myself were all taking the piss. Nobody can accuse me of ever comparing him favourably to Mahrez or expecting any quality from him. I was militantly against the transfer. I don't think I've ever wanted us to avoid a player more. When we replaced Riyad with Ghezzal my optimism for this season evaporated on the spot.
Realist Guy In The Room Posted 24 January 2019 Posted 24 January 2019 Be great if he turned out to be brilliant.

The problem with this place is people assume everything is personal, I don't hate Ghezzal, I want him to come good, I'd love to be wrong. I've never booed a player or a substitution in my life and I never will. I just think he's bobbins. 2 minutes ago, Anglodanglo said: As was I mate relax! Fair enough. It just looked like you were trying to prove him wrong tbf but alright.

Monsell1976 Posted 24 January 2019 Posted 24 January 2019 Pretty honest comments from him, the lad needs time. How many wrote vardy off in his first season, being honest I did. How many slated mahrez, some still didn’t appreciate the player that he is. We have lots of players who have been given a chance, and are still shit, but get hero worshipped because the where part of the title winning team, but the likes of this lad, silva etc get written off when they have barely been given a chance.
VLC86 Posted 24 January 2019 Posted 24 January 2019 I have been pretty harsh about Ghezzal but it’s clear he has been made a scape goat and after some utter bell end at Newport was swearing in the blokes face I really want to see him succeed.
Rigga Posted 24 January 2019 Posted 24 January 2019 Wasn’t impressed when we bought him. From what I have seen, he is tidy on the ball, decent close control and an eye for a through ball. However he lacks any pace and a trick (yet to see him go past a full back yet!) and plays everything at his own pace (and Puels) Just does not suit us

Nobody thought that. The criticism for the transfer came from the fact that people knew exactly the player that we were signing and that he wasn't good enough. And so it has come to pass. Not Ghezzal's fault, but he's a very limited player coming with a recent history of failure. I expected him to be the second coming of Mahrez.
