Royston. Posted 19 August 2020 Share Posted 19 August 2020 We cant strengthen so lets weaken ourselves. Welcome back Rachid!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majaco Posted 19 August 2020 Share Posted 19 August 2020 We won't need Ghezzal if we don't strengthen. I am not the highest Perez fan (yet, hopefully) but the suggestion that Ghezzal offers more is mind boggling. I had my doubts about him before he gifted Cardiff three points with lightweight, naive play before looking too distraught to track back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamble92 Posted 19 August 2020 Share Posted 19 August 2020 You have to wonder why on earth we thought he would be a good signing. Looking at his stats in a worse league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fitted the profile of what we needed somewhat (apparently Patrick Roberts was the main target, but we lost out on him before he ended up going Girona and having an awful spell). A loan with option would’ve been the best way to go in hindsight, but Puel clearly felt he could translate the promise he showed at Lyon to the Premier League. He did show some effectiveness in one season there, but was absolutely useless at Monaco. I don’t think Puel realised how important speed is for wingers in the Premier League, and ultimately that’s why Ghezzal was ineffective. Not a terrible footballer, but just completely ineffective in a high paced league. He's just not a winger tbh, similar to perez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM1968 Posted 19 August 2020 Share Posted 19 August 2020 Can’t believe I got banned for telling everyone this guy was shit.

jeffschlupp Posted 20 August 2020 Share Posted 20 August 2020 Frank Trimboli, the agent who brokered the initial loan deal between City and Fiorentina, has reportedly been seen in Florence in the last few hours. Hopefully means a deal for Ghezzal is on the cards fairly soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His subsequent move to Girona has proved to be a disaster as know doubt he believed he was on his way to us in a stand alone deal which did not materialise, I suspect down to price. His style of play was very much like Mahrez and the belief was that he was not far from making the National team. He played for Rodgers at Celtic and you would have thought he could be an option in the Right Wing position with little funds required in order to elevate the team.

Sharpe's Fox Posted 20 August 2020 Share Posted 20 August 2020 I can’t even look at him to be honest, he reminds me too much of a Puel and The Dark Times. Even when I hear his name I get triggered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 16 September 2020 Share Posted 16 September 2020 For @UHDrive Not good news though. http://sportwitness.co.uk/leicester-city-player-limbo-transfer-opportunity-snatched-away/ Rachid Ghezzal finds himself in a difficult situation. Not in Brendan Rodgers’ plans at Leicester City, he spent last season on loan with Fiorentina. He had a mixed time with the Tuscany club but they were willing to take him back for the new campaign, so long as a good deal could be found with the Foxes. Fiorentina were keen on another loan and has asked Leicester about this possibility. They didn’t get the reply they wanted quickly enough, with the Premier League club probably concerned about loaning out a player whose contract expires in June 2022. Not wanting to wait any longer to secure an extra attacking option, the Serie A club have now signed Giacomo Bonaventura from AC Milan on a permanent deal. TMW report that following this, Fiorentina have completely dismissed the idea of signing Ghezzal. His agents will now need to look for other options, with it pretty clear he’s not going to be given many opportunities at Leicester. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
