fleckneymike Posted 30 January 2019 Posted 30 January 2019 I seem to recall a lot of crowing from Brighton about beating us to his signature. Not so much crowing now.
HybridFox Posted 30 January 2019 Posted 30 January 2019 Came off the back of an international display. Usually the case after a tournament
FoxinNotts Posted 30 January 2019 Posted 30 January 2019 Looks like another player that can smash it in the Dutch league, but will go missing in the Premiership
The whole world smiles Posted 30 January 2019 Posted 30 January 2019 What's this got to do with anything? Who gives a flying f**k about Brighton or their players?

The whole world smiles Posted 30 January 2019 Posted 30 January 2019 Just now, MPH said: obviously not you. so why bother even coming in the thread and commenting? Because I disagree with people talking about Iranian Brighton players who have never played for and never played against Leicester City in the main Leicester forum? Just a waste of my time clicking on the link. Medically it's not always a good idea to ignore everything that annoys you.

On an internet forum concerning a subject you are not interested in, id advise the opposite...

Matey it's a non-relvant, boring thread and your knitpicking isn't making some clever abstract point. It's keeping it up longer than it deserves and boring even more people. Therefore this will my last post in it. I'm off to enjoy one of the relevant threads celebrating our young vibrant team taking it to one of the best sides in Europe on their own patch! Up The city!
srbfox Posted 30 January 2019 Posted 30 January 2019 I was thinking this the other day. Quick google says 10 appearances this season, with 0 goals and 0 assists. I for one, was keen for us to get this deal over the line and felt we missed out at the time.

I share your frustration though - if I saw post on here about Danish Swindon players I'd hit the bloody roof. I'm not being facetious. If I was I'd say something sarcastic like 'at least you didn't waste more of your time with replies about wasting your time. But that would make me a nob Disclaimer: I'm a nob

Nicolo Barella Posted 31 January 2019 Posted 31 January 2019 He's been alright for them when he's played, first few appearances he was off the pace then he looked alright, then he got injured.

Is it knitpicking or nitpicking, I’m never quite sure?

It’s not as if it was a misleading thread title yet you still clicked on it? What were you expecting to see judging on title? A Puel out discussion?
lanefox Posted 31 January 2019 Posted 31 January 2019 Kept my eye on him earlier in the season and never seemed to get in the team , hard for players to adapt with limited substitute appearances

CosbehFox Posted 31 January 2019 Posted 31 January 2019 That’s if we were even in for him. Probably used by his agent to push the deal through. I dont think we can talk on this one when our plan B of Ghezzal has been such a qualified success

If you compare the winger / forwards signed by Premier league clubs in the summer then most of them have not worked out, including arguably Mahrez given Guardiola prefers Sane and Sterling. That said the one that we missed out on was David Brooks of Bournemouth. A young British player (Welsh) who is technically gifted, creative and has an eye for goal. He'd have fit right into the type of play that Puel has got us playing. But it seems like he was Bournemouth's number one signing and they picked him up early in the window. He was essentially their version of James Maddison. But given he cost less than Ghezzal we have to mark him down as "one that got away." The other guy we have to mention is West Ham's Felipe Anderson. Terrific signing I'm sure everyone will agree and has arguably justified his expensive transfer fee. But he did cost a LOT of money and given how badly our expensive signings have flopped in recent times, I understand why we didn't want to go all in on a player who was unproven in the Premier League. At the end of the day every transfer is a risk. In fact I'd argue that for most clubs, most signings don't work out! It's just that when a signing does work out, it can massively change a club's trajectory and performances as we've seen very clearly with players like Huth, Albrighton, Cambiasso and Kante in recent seasons. It seems like Tielemans is joining the club today "only" on loan, but to be honest that might be a good thing. It's so easy to waste money that a safety-first approach isn't the worst thing in the world.

Fairplay to Bournemouth on Brooks, he looked a talent at Sheff U but I thought they'd gone a bit early for him, he's really stepped up.

Yeah it's his baby face that probably put a lot of people off! He looks kind of gangly too and you might question if he had the physicality for the league. But everytime I see him play I am impressed by him, he's a quality player.
fleckneymike Posted 31 January 2019 Author Posted 31 January 2019 Was Vertout to Villa the last bullet dodged?
