Foxxed Posted 5 July 2019 Share Posted 5 July 2019 Captain of his national team. Top scorer in the Belgian first. Massive head. Sounds alright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier in the thread there was lots of talk about whether he was a 9 or a 10 and one of the conclusions drawn was that he was a 9.5 which smacked of Nacho no mans land territory.

Vardy, Mahrez, Albrighton, Fuchs, Kante were pretty underwhelming at the time. You never know, he might turn out to be a real bargain. I appreciate that there have also been other underwhelming signings that have turned out to be just that. Conversely, there have been big money signings that have had this forum go ballistic and have turned out to be flops. Slimani, Musa, Inler, Silva, Nacho. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NasPb Posted 5 July 2019 Share Posted 5 July 2019 How the hell is this underwhelming. You lot were the saying screaming for a target man. This guy is it but he can do more on top of that. Cheap price too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we could loan or sell Kelechi and get this lad in then we should do. Got a good feeling about this lad, think he'd do well in the Prem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anybody is writing him off, he’s just quite simply a bit unheard of and inexpensive by modern standards in comparison to a few other big names being mooted about. You are right though, nobody had really heard of Mahrez, Kante, Vardy et al so of course we shouldn’t be making any snap judgements and give the man time to be a bloody legend! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeg67 Posted 5 July 2019 Share Posted 5 July 2019 This lad has experience playing wide on the right, and I suspect that would be his main role with us. I don't think he'd be signing as a squad player - I think the intent would be to have him be a primary starter in a front 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware that you were talking about his position on the pitch, and this more often than not will not be the same as the number of a player's shirt. Indeed there is a potential comedic tension in this dichotomy, and more importantly an opportunity to utilise my nascent image editing skills. I hope you don't think I'm being self-congratulatory, but I'm really pleased with this attempt as I've managed to achieve the requisite look of slightly irritated surprise, while at the same time using a lo-res brush technique on his eyes* that I feel is a fitting homage to his Youtube video posters * look closely Edited 5 July 2019 by turtmcfly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert09 Posted 5 July 2019 Share Posted 5 July 2019 We need an option for those teams who will park the bus and stop us playing nice football.. it will happen... it semi-regularly will happen. So having a plan B player is definitely needed. The whole game dynamic can be changed when you bring on a player who is dangerous in the air, defenders are suddenly worried about sitting too deep and inviting crosses. For this price, I can see why we'd be considering it. Aston Villa are getting all excited about their big money signing in the Belgian league and this guy pulled his pants down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much a back-up striker to cover for Iheanacho maybe being absolutely turd even under Rodgers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jock2612 Posted 5 July 2019 Share Posted 5 July 2019 Would be another signing with potential and one we can add value. This could be the best transfer window yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer to do our homework and buy much more wisely. Quality not quantity! What your saying is Samatta isn't quality? If we buy him then I assume that our scouting and recruitment team think he is capable of contributing to the team. He joins the squad. From there its on him and the staff weather he starts or not. Nobody is guaranteed a place in the first eleven or even the bench. You have to earn it. Every match. Even Vardy. I haven't given up on Iheanacho yet and doubt Rodgers has either. What I long for is competition in the squad. Everyone fighting for a place. Nothing on merit or rep. The only way to push to maximum quality. FYI Coutinho 8.5 mil from inter Sturridge 12mil from Chelsea Rodgers first year at Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not trolling but really want to you to breakdown why you say these things. I know nothing about this guy so would really appreciate the input. Can you qualify what do you mean by 'Purely Celtic'? What is 'Purely Celtic'? Can you qualify 'Underwhelming'? What do you mean by 'underwhelming' in a Leicester context?
