No I'm not, ghezzal did look rubbish, but he clearly has something there, what would he be like if he had the game time perez has had, and I did say if we absolutely had to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghezzal is not a prem player and he's already proved that. He didn't have the pace, the strength nor the ability to make decisions and play faster. If a club of our stature went and got its rejects back because said player did well in a shit leugue with not too many good teams in it either then we'd end up in the championship. The club tried once and he massively failed and I cannot for the life of me think of one good reason why the management would even consider sanctioning a move back for him. Move on and sign a marquee RW. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on that, but all the things you describe is perez also and he's had an incredible amount of game time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_favourite Posted 6 June 2021 Share Posted 6 June 2021 (edited) Let’s move on from him. It didn’t work and doing this runs the risk of his value dropping and no one bring interested. Let’s move him on while his stock is high. Edited 6 June 2021 by fox_favourite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teblin Posted 8 June 2021 Share Posted 8 June 2021 He was always on to a loser here. Came in after mahrez went. Who was pretty much irreplaceable. Lacks a bit of pace. Can strike a ball well but was lacking confidence so much. the stats he had this season, if he didn’t already play for us people would be raving about him. Though I think we will let him go and sign a younger option. thouugh he now does fit into the “winners” bracket that Brendan mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not PL standard and that view is from watching every game he played. It's easier playing in a weaker leugue and gaining confidence but if you put him back with the big boys again then he'll get slaughtered all over again. Ghezzal is one of those confidence players and therefore amongst other things he's not good enough for where our club is at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is this arrogance he now portrays which was never a feature when we had him here. There would have been a bit of reservation when he came and surrounded by big personalities within the team, you tend to take a backseat and eventually hope to find your place within the group. New surroundings and an unfamiliar language and a style of play that you are asked to conform to, it is no wonder that some players take a season to settle before they can become comfortable with themselves again. At the time, his performances for us came across as someone who lacked pace and failed to understand what was required of him through out the game. Obviously there would have been a lack of confidence to some degree, but that was not his overriding issue. It would be Interesting to see what this Ghezzal could produce for us, if given the chance next season. The environment he now finds himself has allowed him to express himself on the pitch, it definitely would be Interesting to find out though.

Hi is no where near a Premier League player and never has been. All the stats in a league which is, in the main, a lower standard than Championship level does not mean he will come back and all of a sudden take the Prem by storm. Had his chance - Get rid.

Well he’s had a good season albeit in the Turkish league, so that’s a bit unfair. But on the whole you’re right, he’s not good enough for where we want to be.

You're right, he's had his chance and been found lacking, although I'm not sure how many games his 19 appearances would add up to in minutes. The thing is, if we don't sign a RW, then even if he is poor, he only has to be better than Perez to improve us. I would back him in that particular two horse (donkey?) race.

SixtiesFox Posted 8 June 2021 Share Posted 8 June 2021 Failure to address this gaping hole in our offensive capabilities has arguably cost us a place in the CL two seasons running. If we don't rectify this glaring error and go for a major upgrade in this position over the summer then we may as well give the guy another go. If it's a confidence issue, then surpassing Under's contributions of last season and having to compete with perennial whipping boy Perez and Albrighton (legend though he is his best days are now behind him) shouldn't be too intimidating for him, surely.

I was scratching my head for a few minutes trying to figure that one out! My answer would be to play Albrighton either as a RB of RWB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 8 June 2021 Share Posted 8 June 2021 Maybe we are going to sign a RW as we don`t feel we need a RW? In this case Ghezzal** is pointless anyway ** NO other Algerian left footed right wingers can exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
