FoxinNotts Posted 1 August 2021 Author Posted 1 August 2021 serious interest from several Premier League clubs as per the report, with Everton, Leeds United and Leicester City all lining up to sign the 25-year-old.
FoxesWalk Posted 1 August 2021 Posted 1 August 2021 Pass. He was once extremely highly rated, but has been on a downwards trend ever since. He’d probably cost a lot in fee and wages.
Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 1 August 2021 Posted 1 August 2021 Hes been injured for most of his career hasn't he?
FoxesWalk Posted 1 August 2021 Posted 1 August 2021 This video was made in the last year, but the vast majority of the goals are from 4 or so years ago, which tells you what you need to know really.

FoxesWalk Posted 1 August 2021 Posted 1 August 2021 (edited) 9 minutes ago, Chocolate Teapot said: Looks good though. Oh yeah. He was quality before his injury, hasn’t been the same since. He is massively weaker than Perez off the ball (though most forwards are), but offers a bit more threat on it. Perez arguably better at progressing the ball though. If Perez could actually hit his xG, he would be looking like the better option. Edited 1 August 2021 by FoxesWalk 1
Nick Posted 1 August 2021 Posted 1 August 2021 He did his cruciate and was out for 9 months but hasn't come back quite the same as yet. It's one of those 'if we could get him firing again' ones. He's a remarkable talent clearly.
st albans fox Posted 1 August 2021 Posted 1 August 2021 I saw the title and wondered if we could keep our pretend RW instead …..

It's one of those 'if we could get him firing again' ones. He's a remarkable talent clearly. This. Up to about 2 years ago I'd have never imagined we'd have got this kind of signing. He's taken a downward turn due to injuries (like Pereira has for us?) but if we were to sign Asensio on some kind of loan deal then it may work out? Would be a win-win for both clubs. We get an experienced player who is clearly very decent and get him firing again. Real Madrid get a player back who has regained confidence and they get their value back up on him too. A half-decent Asensio is much better than Perez... 1 1
danny2997 Posted 1 August 2021 Posted 1 August 2021 Cristiano Ronaldo used to speak to very highly of this lad during the latter of his Madrid days. If can get him back into form then would be a very good signing.
jeffschlupp Posted 1 August 2021 Posted 1 August 2021 It's very rare we sign players from objectively bigger or better sides than us - this is the sort of move Everton or West Ham usually make. There are exceptions - Digne from Barcelona, and for us you've probably got Evans, Cambiasso the standouts who have played for big clubs in their careers. But generally we do better when we are signing players on an upward trajectory. 1
Stadt Posted 1 August 2021 Posted 1 August 2021 A loan would be ok but this would probably end up like the Under signing. 1

I’d be real happy with this. In reality, this would be a very high profile move, he has something to prove, and dare I say it, might even bring the best out of Perez. Positives : No transfer fee ✅ (Loan) International ✅ Good age ✅ Predominantly a RHS left footer ✅ Hungry with something to prove ✅ Increases profile of club ✅ Might help Perez assimilate ✅ Negatives : Potentially high wages ❌ Has had a bad injury ❌

As pointed out by moore_94 and @jeffschlupp on the Dennis Praet thread, we don't want any more non-English players, we're almost up to the top level of our foreign registered quota for the 25 man squad. So, if we go for that right winger, it has to be Madueke. 1

Until you mentioned it, I didn’t even know he was at the olympics! 😂 Just had a look. Seems he’s doing ok. Got some criticism in the Spanish press for staying too far wide, apparently. They want him to move more centrally, more often. At least he’s fit and getting a good pre-season. I reckon he’d be a good addition, on loan. Just my humble opinion

For example (without reading the post) if we were to sell or not register Ghezzal, Jakupovic, Mendy(hope not) Amartey, Praet (hope not) etc. Lots of twists and turns possible
