LCCFox96 Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 He's not in Napoli's squad for their pre-season friendly vs Pescara tonight. Not sure how I feel about this. Reeks of Napoli trying to palm him off, knowing he hasn't got whats required to make it at the level we're aspiring to be. It feels like one of those transfers where we might get burnt and he's struggled since 2017, whereas Castagne - for example - came with great reviews from fans and fellow professionals alike, and a string of really strong performances at Genk, Atalanta and for Belgium. Imo he's worth a punt, based purely on his potential and record at Bordeaux as a youngster but only if 1) the fee is modest as Gattusso has openly stated he is surplus to requirements so we shouldn't be wading in with a big offer to meet their desired fee and 2) this does not limit our ability to move in the market to bring in another attacking player, whether that be the winger we oh so desperately need or another striker.

Blue and white Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 We should employ a scout just for forwards cause we're diabolical at it. I predict another season of Gray and Albrighton failing to deliver after Ounas fails to deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloudFox Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 This guy, plus Brooks and I'll be content with our forward options. We need competition on the wings at the very least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need competition on the wings at the very least. Me too. I guess the problem could be if it is just him. Not the players fault if it is, but the comparisons to Ghezzal would be easy to make if he doesn't hit the ground running "buy cheap, buy twice (or 3 or 4 times). Brooks is a must for me alongside him. If we were told we could get two wingers for £35m at the beginning of the window that would be good business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lcfcbluearmy Posted 11 September 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 11 September 2020 I really don’t get the hate albrighton gets on this forum yes he doesn’t score a lot of goals but that has never been his game. He has always been a “defensive” winger and is very good at this. Yes he is not an attacking Mahrez type which we do need but that does not mean that he is a bad player 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NasPb Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 This guy would be great value. No risk at all, high upside. He played mildly well in france, and needs a chance.

Lord Albrighton will never be shit, but like Morgan, King and Okazaki before him, there comes a point he shouldn't be near the starting line up, and that was probably 2 seasons ago! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Teapot Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 Those wishing for this guy and Brooks are hopeful - we won't sign two left footed right wingers. It'll be either or, and the reports of us being a bit cash strapped are looking about right. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetly Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 To be honest I couldn’t decide if he was good or just rapid. Not convinced he is the answer to our winger issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickyblueeyes Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 Oh great, after he has three great seasons, wins the league the Algerian fans will be on here to tell us to free him so he can join that traditional heavyweight football club Wolves. I don’t know anything about him. Hopefully but from the YouTube clip he looks very quick on the counter. That works well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
