Exactly and it was under McClaren

Thauvin has 57 combined goals and assists in the last 63 games, Zaha has never scored more than 10 league goals in a season! 

You bring him over to the prem and see how he gets on, oh wait that already happened and he didn’t cut it. Zahas proven prem quality that’s why prem players go for so much money...If you can cut it in the best league you have the inflated value

Same farmers leagues where we got Kante and Mahrez, arguably the two best ever players to wear a Leicester shirt?Sure thing?

Mahrez was Ligue 2 btw

I’ll leave this here:

 

Maxwel Cornet last 10 games Ligue 1 goal contributions p90 based on NPxG90 + xA90

 

Player (Mins) p90

 

Mbappe (840) 1.5/90

Cornet (721) 1.06

Neymar (821) 0.94

Cavani (764) 0.92

Depay (785) 0.88

 

If cornets the mustard he starts for the Ivory Coast but he wasn’t even second choice he was 3rd behind Pepe. Unreal the amount of slate Zahas getting on here, he’d move the team up another level, good job the lot of you aren’t football managers or we’d be targeting slimanis and Musas all over again. Invest in proven quality in YOUR own league...

Dunno if you've heard of this fella at Liverpool called Mo Salah. He came to the Premier League at the age of 21, he didn't cut it, so he left to an inferior league for a few seasons.

 

He came back eventually, and I think he did alright.

We’re not spending £70M+ on Zaha, let someone else waste their cash and watch his head drop when things don’t go his way (remember Man United?)

 

’Prem proven’ is a myth.  KDB, Hazard, Eriksen, Salah, Kante, Mahrez, Bernardo Silva etc - none were ‘prem proven’

Investing in proven quality in our own league isn't financially feasible. Manchester United have paid £55m for a right back with 42 senior appearances. We want £90m for a centre back that was outshone by Evans last season. Unless they have a release clause like Perez, it's terrible value for money.

 

Zaha is reportedly a difficult character, would want obscene money, wouldn't come to Leicester, and his stats aren't that great for the £80m they are supposedly demanding.

 

Can't quite believe you are disregarding the quality foreign acquisitions we have made since that diabolical summer. Ricardo (same league as Slimani), Ndidi and Tielemans are just three of those. Many of the others, like Maddison, hadn't played in the Premier League.

 

You also believe that football managers sign players. Please tell me why the club pays Jon Rudkin, Lee Congerton, a head of technical scouting and dozens of scouts and recruitment staff if one man is selecting the players he recruits.

Zaha is overrated for his dribbling, he’s basically Gray with more contribution, but not enough to warrant over £45m. Let another team overpay.

So basically everything Demarai doesn’t do! Zaha carries that Palace side at times. I wouldn’t pay over £45m but that’s the market. He may be a bit of a twat, but he’s on a different planet compared to Gray!! If Gray put in half the performances Zaha did we’d be expecting over £45m if someone wanted to sign him!

How are people still dismissing France. It's one of the consistently best places to buy players from and we should know that as much as anyone.

 

Adapting to a league is less important than adapting to a team. When will people realise this?

Yeah, as if you’ll pick up any world class talent from mid table in Ligue 1 or geniuses languishing in Ligue 2.

Or Belgian international midfielders.

 

In before anyone spouts about Ghezzal - he was largely deemed a flop over there as well.

 

I'm not claiming Ligue 1 is as strong as the Premier League but it's laughable how many people write off foreign league when signing players, when the majority of the league is foreign and the majority of the top players in it were signed from Spain, France and Germany. Just reeks of falling for Sky rhetoric.

I'd be interested to know how confident the club is about getting this high profile player over the line

I think this will be dependent on us selling Maguire and/or a number of bits of dross like Silva, Diabate, Slimani, King etc

I'm not sure it is to be honest - I genuinely think BR has been promised circa 130 odd million!

Dont know if he has been suggested  but an italian based winger could be suso, has rodgers links from his time at liverpool as well

Interesting. 

 

How could we get him? How could we turn his head? How could we get a place at the table?

 

Maybe we could disrupt their transfer plans by offering their main target double the wages they are? That way we would either sign said player or gain some traction with future deals or the domino effect of signing. Imagine being so underhand :jawdrop:
