He is not short of EPL suitors, but he comes here he’ll likely start off on the bench but probably would be in rotation with Tielemans and Maddison by mid-season (particularly given our EL Cup campaign). Tielemans doesn't play most of his games on the LW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s their No. 10, and plays primarily in the middle of the park. The only substantive difference (if any) in their games is that Eze often plays further upfield than Tielemans would. I am beginning to suspect that you are confusing Eze with the other black dude Osayi (or some such name). Edited 4 August 2020 by NaijaFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played in the #10 role 13 times, scoring 4 with 2 assists.... So yeah, he played most of his games on the LW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where you dug up those stats from, but Eze most definitely does NOT play out wide. Even if those mock lineups have him lined up on the left (a la Maddison sometimes), his role devolves to the middle of the park.

Who scored are generally pretty accurate and in depth but you clearly watch every QPR game so I do apologise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Slim and Silva, no one is going to match the wages we pay them, we could make them available for free and they would still not find someone to match their wages. Yep. Look at Arsenal with Ozil. But if Slim and Silva were allowed to leave on frees, may be the a signing on fee in lieu of a fee paid to Leicester could swing it, 'if' that is, they have any interest whatsoever in playing football. I think Silva does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they both want to play looking at how they have been willing to go out on Loan, we can live in hope but still could see them being here until their contract end Edited 4 August 2020 by coolhandfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Youtube clip validates the veracity of my statement, without disputing the QPR fan’s assertion that Eze mainly operates “off” [crucially not “on”] the left.

AjcW Posted 4 August 2020 Share Posted 4 August 2020 This is what's always made me laugh about the Congerton hate. You're always going to pick out some duffers when you're trying to attract quality to play for ****ing Sunderland and attract quality on Celtics shite budget. He's not shopping in the bargain bin anymore... chances are he's probably always had targets at the top end he's just not been able to suggest them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf as head scout it's not like he's had to do much of a job to pick out Barca's next big talent. Ill give him props when he gets one of these players before they go to a big club.

Ejaria plays LW for Reading, similar kit to QPR. Ejaria is someone I have name checked previously, two footed, very skillful can also play centrally.
