Ayoze Perez

[tsintskaro]

We lack so much  transfer talk regarding to Leicester, that people start saying Perez was good for us

 

(I do believe he is fine player in general, but not on the wing and not for 30 mil thats for sure)

See ya Ayoze

 

Thank you for the Wembley handball and...erm...that other thing... probably...

 

Anyway, bon vvoyage, adios, sayonara, sod off....

Was fantastic when he came on against United and PSV this season, to be fair.

I think Perez has suffered in the shadow of Maddison. I see their role and their style of play as being very similar, but Maddison is much the better player. 
If we were selling Perez for that reason, I’d understand it. But we know that Maddison is injury prone.

And if we do sell Perez, at least get a decent price back for him

From who exactly? There is no way we sell him for more than 5-10m at the most, and then it may require partial wage subsidisation, especially true if he is set on moving to Spain

Then don’t sell him…

But we need money (possibly) so….It’s just a question of how much can we live with making from our ‘surplus’ players in order to get our targets I suppose

A fee would be nice, but freeing up wages is even more important I would argue. Although it is all hearsay and gossip, we do seem to have got ourselves in a right pickle.

He really hasn’t.

2 x top 5 finishes and an FA cup win. Let me guess, take him out of the side and it would have been 2 x top 4 finishes and a Europa League?

It really depends if a club wants him. We got nearly 8 million from a Belgian club for a winger that never wore the shirt in a first team match. Heck, we got our money back for Musa. I don't think we are going to get our money back for Perez for sure, but I certainly think we can get 9-10 from the right team in Spain, especially if more than one want him.

Do Spanish teams have money?

Difference is that Sowah's wages here wouldn't have been very much, Perez will be on way more than the majority of Spanish clubs would pay so either we're subsidising his wages for a year which eats in to any modest fee they'd pay anyway or he'd have to agree to a pay cut a year early which given he'd get a better deal on a free a year later is even more off putting for him.

I rate him 😅 we just paid over the odds for him. Conpare him to Under or Diabate or even our hero Marc Albrighton. Perez is a better player. I'd rather we renew his contract than sell for peanuts. Binning Bertrand, Hamza, Vestegard et.al is far more important

He's 28, and could get a four year deal, maybe even squeeze a five year deal. He isn't on that much (most websites have him on 45k/week), so a guaranteed salary can offset the one year dip. I am not sure at 29 he will get three years or a better rate, especially if he spends the next season on a bench.

He literally moved his body towards the path of the ball. Let's not try and re write history. 

 

Yes if you belive he cost 30 million then he's been disappointing here but he has still made a decent contribution. Including 8 Premier league goals in his first season and starting every game in our fa cup win (only youri played more minutes). 

OK, I would not want to do him a disservice,  I will rephrase it for a third time.

 

Thank you Ayoze.

 

Thank you for that time you literally moved your body toward the path of the ball and it hit you on the thigh ricocheted up off your hand and off to the feet of Luke Thomas.

[filbertway]

Hard to imagine we make any money, but even if we sold him on a freebie but cover none of his salary, then I'll take that.

Attributing strong collective achievements to him is just desperate and reflects that he has actually done very little. 
 

On a personal level, what has he actually done? Did he influence any significant games both in the domestic season and the FA Cup final? I don’t think so.

 

In answer to your question, a top quality winger (which we could have acquired for that sum) may have got us over the line.

Just when I was about to log off the "Ayoze" thread, appeared top of the Transfer thread, and lured me in like a fly to a blue strip light, if the opening comment is valid, we surely sell, anything north of 10 Million, he is a nice chap, I'm sure, and has had a few decent showings, and matches, but not quite good enough for our onwards trajectory, let's hope his desire to move back to Spain is high, it may manage his expectations with wages, etc, if a move is possible for him, I'd wish him all the very best for the future.

I highly doubt he's only on £45k a week.

He definitely isn’t on 45k/week 

 

I think he’s a 75/80k earner. 
 

that’s going to upset a few !

Yep!! If you take the inflated fee out, I’d suggest he’s been a good player for us. 
 

Even then, when compared to Slimani, Musa, Silva etc, he’s not been a bad purchase, compared to his value Vs what we’ve achieved in his time at the club. He’d be starting for a good portion of the lower end Premier League clubs. Most people judge him on the performances where he’s shoved out of position and expected to play to a game that isn’t natural to him. It’s a bit like the time we played him as a lone forward! Just why! Can you imagine doing that with Maddison! 
 

People will be disappointed when we don’t sign a player of similar ability.

That’s exactly how I see it. If we did go on to sell Perez for 5-10m, who on earth are we going to sign at the moment that’s any better for that money?

Given our apparent financial plight, I’d keep what we’ve got this season, and I including Praet in that. From what I’ve seen, he’s no worse than many of the players Rodgers want to hold onto.

Exactly. The rebuild that was spoken about isn’t as black and white as many see it. 
 

Praet isn’t the player Rodgers wants, however he many be better than the players he can get.

Some proper recency bias I think. He's been a poor signing for the money. We've had worse and I wish him no ill at all but not quite buying this rewriting of him in here. But good luck to him if he goes.
