He isn’t a right winger, however he allowed us to get the best out of Ricardo. I don't think any of them are comparable for many reasons. Out of them all I've preferred Perez & Praet with perez just edging that pack.

It just means he’s young, wealthy and stupid. 1

He always struck me as a thoroughly decent bloke. He consistently uploads pics to his Instagram on a game day, even when he was miles away from the first 11. I never ever felt that he was running around and not trying. He isn’t a great player but he’s been consistently played out of position and has never had a fair shot. Brendan has to take all of the blame for signing a player who finished as Newcastle’s top scorer the season before we signed him whilst playing as a 10 and then pushing him out wide. His finishing is supposedly brilliant but we don’t see it regularly enough and he’s a bit too lightweight for the PL. He also lacks pace. But he has tremendous feet and I think he’ll tear it up in La Liga. I bet he gets at least 10 goals and assists a season. He goes with my best wishes because he’s always tried and he’s never been treated well by us. Can we please once and for all debunk this myth that Perez played centrally for Newcastle and we played him of position. Below is Perez' heat map for Newcastle 2018/19. He was signed to play wide right for us because he played wide right for them. There is no excuse for Perez, he simply wasn't very good. Edited 29 January 2023 by murphy 5

End of discussion. I was referring to this season where Harvey’s performances have dropped through the floor and Perez when he’s played has looked far more dangerous, I’m not aware if there are any stats that can compare the 2 this season.

We need (and we now have no reason not to) have him back into the middle where he can function and influence more. The ability to link up with Barnes, will enable Barnes to find ways of getting into goal scoring positions. With Maddison so far away and with him coming centrally at times it does not help Barnes. You may have noticed that Barnes is quite comfortable playing alongside Nacho, who effectively takes up the #10 position. Maddison playing wide right, could just be why Barnes cannot function at the moment, he needs a "foil" playing inside of him. Edited 29 January 2023 by sacreblueits442 Spelling error. 1

Like I said… check the stats for this season. Barnes has scored 7 goals in the prem. joint 9th overall in the league. Perez has never looked dangerous. Barnes at his worst is still getting in positions to score. 2
sdb Posted 29 January 2023 Posted 29 January 2023 One day we'll look back and laugh/cry at how maligned Perez was. European semi finalist, FA Cup winner, hat trick in the lcfc all time record win. He could've been better and at times we needed better, but he's only performed at about 20% less of his ability, which is the same for pretty much every other established leicester player over the last couple of years. 1

I actually think part of it is Rodgers' tactics, Perez was a tactical buy who was supposedly versatile... Maddison has seemably been shoehorned in at the expense of Perez because of lack of options. It would be nice to have that choice and it sounds like we'll FINALLY have those options, two wingers 1 x left 1 x right And two wide playmakers in Harrison/Maddison. I would like to see Barnes - Maddison - Tete though, but you just know that's not going to happen at the expense of a KDH/Mendy. So I fully expect a rotational basis. Off topic but Perez just wasn't good enough.

urban fox Posted 29 January 2023 Posted 29 January 2023 It's been common knowledge since the summer hasn't it?. I suppose he might be persuaded by another pl club, who would no doubt pay better wages than he would get in spain but he has made no secret of the fact that a return to Spain would be his preference

Ric Flair Posted 29 January 2023 Posted 29 January 2023 I've never known a player ever be as ill as often as Perez, he reminds me of a normal gadgie who can't be arsed to gan work several times a year. Fair play to him but it's absolutely wild. I counted 5 seperate instances last year where he missed game/s because of illness. 1

But yes he's missed chunks.
