SecretPro Posted 11 September 2020 Posted 11 September 2020 Why are people moaning? He looks a bargain? 4
teblin Posted 11 September 2020 Posted 11 September 2020 Wouldn’t surprise me if he has been on our radar for a while.
LCCFox96 Posted 11 September 2020 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 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.

Popular Post SecretPro Posted 11 September 2020 Popular Post Posted 11 September 2020 Can't understand why the first three pages of this thread are positive about him and then we get news he's signing and the last 2 pages are people saying how shit he is? 5 14
Pliskin Posted 11 September 2020 Posted 11 September 2020 This kid is siracha, trust me he will develop into a baller. Riyad will only be able to watch on in envy......

CloudFox Posted 11 September 2020 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

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

Popular Post lcfcbluearmy Posted 11 September 2020 Popular Post 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
NasPb Posted 11 September 2020 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. GERRIIIMIN 2 minutes ago, SecretPro said: He can't be shitter than Albrighton, Gray and Rachid though surely? 2

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
Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 11 September 2020 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.
tetly Posted 11 September 2020 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.

Yes that was more what I was leaning too, but shit was quicker to type.
NasPb Posted 11 September 2020 Posted 11 September 2020 Let us remember that chucky lozano also failed at napoli.
Guest Mickyblueeyes Posted 11 September 2020 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.
