LVFox Posted 12 August 2022 Share Posted 12 August 2022 9 minutes ago, AjcW said: Yeah fair on Daka I also think Soumare would thrive under the right manager. I think Bouba has decided for himself that he won’t cut it in England and that’s the problem. Most midfielders from abroad take time to adjust, but they have to have the determination and confidence to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, so now Rodgers' transfer policy has unravelled itself. You can't have bad signings if you don't sign anyone... 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frost Posted 12 August 2022 Share Posted 12 August 2022 4 hours ago, Ric Flair said: This is a huge blow, looking now at our fringe players there's no obvious move for any of them. Maybe Perez to Spain might be the one that sees us get a right winger in. Soumare doesn't seem to have any other clubs with money after him though. Perez is linked to Betis but they're skint so we'd to offload him for free for them to even consider picking up his pay packet. Vestegaard would rather play Monopoly on a Saturday afternoon than kick a football about and Soumare, who seemingly had a decent pre-season, was frozen out of the Brentford matchday squad so we could offload him, only for Monaco to call our bluff and sign someone else. No other club in France really has the cash to buy him (well, ones that'd be interested anyway). You couldn't make it up really. A few players had a clear enough path out of the club to allow us to bring in a new face or two but we've either been unlucky / stupid, or both.

NewquayFox Posted 12 August 2022 Share Posted 12 August 2022 Would sooner loan him out to a French club for the season than sell him at a loss, he’s still a young un and I’m sure we have a great player in him, Rodgers is great at knocking players confidence, look at Praet as I’m sure he will be a great player for us this season… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian__marshall Posted 12 August 2022 Share Posted 12 August 2022 I was walking through a shopping mall in Paris the other day. Low and behold a chap walks by in a Leicester shirt. Turn around as I had to double take and he has B. Soumare on the back. Guess he'll be one of the disappointed few when he departs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 12 August 2022 Share Posted 12 August 2022 3 hours ago, Tommy Fresh said: He can though which is the biggest mystery, he was unplayable away at Spartak so he definitely has it in him. Obviously a different thing applying it week in week out, but saying he can't do the basics is over the top. I was at Spartak away (don't like to mention it!), it was one of the most random topsy turvy games I've ever seen, the quality on show wasn't great. He had one of his better games but if a player can only perform in high variance, incredibly circumstantial games then they're not suitable for the premier league. Soumare played in a lot of our good games last year, which is admittedly true, but he was hardly the shining light in most of the games. It's not so black and white as bad players are shit very game, it's cartoonish but he's had more bad games than good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've made a point about things not being "black and white" I was simply highlighting that "he can't do the basics" is a tad over the top and implies he hasn't once shown any kind of ability.

Seems to fit the bill only got 2 years left on his contract as well. Although Monaco hardly need money at the minute, and would likely demand a fortune.

It's not so black and white as bad players are shit very game, it's cartoonish but he's had more bad games than good. I think it's a bit harsh to dismiss him as only high in variance. First few league games for us he was really consistent, goal contributions vs minutes was absolutely bonkers. Then slowly but surely we absolutely drained his confidence expecting him to run 70 odd minutes without anything created and then just haul him off. That spell last year when Vardy was injured was cringe worthy, we went what felt like a thousand minutes barely scoring or creating anything. I'll give you his movement isn't as good as Vardy's and that makes it comparatively harder for the team to create chances but it shouldn't take a genius if Vardy's caliber to find space. It's Rodgers' absolutely abysmal approach to chance creation whenever he can't pick his best team that's killed him and us. Iheanacho has suffered the same way. Your man scored something like 30 to 40 odd goals all competitions the year before he came here. Consistency isn't his problem. 3 hours ago, BenTheFox said: This essentially highlights why I would rather we keep Praet.

I agree with most of what you've got to say normally but I can't wait til Praet has played his last game for us so I can stop reading stuff like this. Consistently sub par is nothing we should be striving for. He just.... runs around a bit. Classic foxestalk cult hero.
