Deeg67 Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 (edited) Quote In fairness Perez is boasting 0.2 more tackles and 0.1 more interceptions per game.. He was also playing on a team with minimal creativity that parked the bus every week, while Mahrez was on a team that averaged about 65% possession and has arguably the most talent in club football.

Rodgers has said he likes to play one holding midfielder maybe he’s looking at playing 4-3-3 with Ndidi Tielemanns and another box to box midfielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayday Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 Looking at last season he started on the left wing, then played as a 10, then after Christmas on the right wing, that’s what it looks like The Newcastle fans told me that’s wrong even though I questioned it, they’re adamant he never played on the right only as a no10, as somebody who hasn’t got a clue are they right?

Happy Fox Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 He will be utilised as a a striker behind Vardy imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyPalace.com Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 Price is Price. If we can afford it and want the player, pay the cash. Anyway in the end its going to be a Manchester United Freebie. Thanks Ole x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously upgrades the squad. Would leave us spending around £90m-£120m. I do wonder if we will get an '8' position player from the maguire offer. So could end up with a player like delph or Andreas pereira to get them up from 70 to 90m. Then would love sarr and finish off our business apart from major outgoings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably because both him and Almiron essentially played off the striker instead of from the wings. They did have less structure than standard wingers.

fox_favourite Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 I just don't think he's worth £30m, seems a bit steep to me. Glad to be proven wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Arm Babba Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 Dog 5hit, bottom 6 signing. Not the sort of player we should be going for if we are aiming for top 6. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusko187 Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 The more I think about it, the more sense this signing makes. He retains the ball very well in close control and under pressure whilst driving it forward, will link up very well with Vardy whilst also chipping in a few goals himself.

sdb Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 8 hours ago, StriderHiryu said: Indeed! But when we paid 16m for Musa, 30m for Slimani and 22m for Silva we can't really poke fun at others Sometimes it's good to be pragmatic about signings. Whenever you sign a foreign player, you always get your hopes up. Perhaps the player will be another Mahrez or Kante who is a scouting team special, a world class talent that went under the radar. But most times that's not the case. We have a really exciting up and coming team and not every player needs to be a superstar or upcoming youth prospect. Two of our best signings in recent times were Robert Huth and Marc Albrighton! Youri Tielemans will be our marquee signing this summer and we know he will be good. As for Ayoze Perez: The right age (25, about to be 26) ✅ Experience in the Premier League ✅ Can hit the back of the net ✅ Hard working ✅ Team Player ✅ Just had his best season ✅ Versatile ✅ What's not to like? Exactly this. £30 mill seems underwhelming because £16m was mentioned first off. But he's hitting his prime, is quick, skillful, hardworking, scored goals from exactly where we cant, and is a proven premier player. I mentioned him a month or 2 ago and would have been ok with us spending big to get him. I think people are going to be pleasantly surprised.

Dahnsouff Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 Perez seems like a very astute signing too me. People moaning at 30m need to give your head a wobble, is Harry as a player worth 90m? No, clearly, but thats what we want to take the hit of losing him, maybe other clubs do the same with their players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly let's say we sell Maguire for 90m We then pay 30m for perez and 40m for Tielemans. We have actually got 2 class players for free with about 2m spare good business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambiasso was the balloon head deal. Pearson was not pleased after he had managed to keep it under his hat until it was nearly done. We still got it over the line though.
