N’Dombele has been at Spurs for a year also and Fekir has been away at Betis for the same amount of time. I thought his movement in that video you posted a few pages back was clearly very good. Defending might not always have been the best but he looked like he was playing a different game. Very composed by the looks of it too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post MPH 6,643 Posted 2 August 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted 2 August 2020 (edited) This whole ‘ he is no good because he plays in Scotland ‘ is getting silly and quite frankly it’s making a lot of people look very unintelligent. We got Mahrez from the french second division We got Vardy from Non league Our title winning captain came from the championship. We got Chilly from our reserves, Kasper came from the championship... Maddison from the championship Kevin was let go from a poor Villa team who didn’t want to renew his contract. If our scouting network ( and that of several big teams around Europe) feel like he is worthy of their attention then there is obviously a reason for it...

I think the point being made is all of those you list (apart from Maddison) didn't cost much (or nothing) in transfer fees. Paying such a substantial sum (probably a club record) for a player from the SPL is very risky and I'm not sure the club should take it. Link to post Share on other sites

Isn’t the average championship player going from the championship to the prem for around 20 million? An extra ten million for a striker who’s scoring in European competitions as well as a very good under 21 french team? I’d happily have him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Guess that means we'll have to have some faith in our player recruitment and development. I'm honestly not sure what type of direction Rodgers wants to go. Benteke, Dembele, Sturridge and Edouard are the only ones recruited while Rodgers was in a job. Had to make do with Vardy, Iheanacho, Suarez, Graham, Griffiths etc. A very diverse group with different strengths. Our recruitment of Perez last summer makes me think we'll be heading in a Liverpool type attacking system. We'll see. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Most of the time when he has come off the bench or started it has always been alongside Vardy Maybe we are looking for someone who is a bit more comfortable playing in the solo striker role as Rodgers feels Iheanacho isn’t really up to it? Norwich away. He bagged with a super shot but was offside. Link to post Share on other sites
