So frustrating that we’re just getting beat to signings so easily ffs. ...not worried that he has gone elsewhere!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to foreign teams, they know the English teams have alot more money so its understandable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think we haven't? Maybe we did, and he wants to stay in France? Not every transfer/player we're linked with ends up being as a result of 'why didn't we go in for him? Why didn't we just pay the money?'. Transfers just aren't as simple as that. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think about things in too much depth. It's all very football manager in my head. Put a bid in and the player is in the starting 11 the day after. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosbehFox Posted 27 January 2023 Share Posted 27 January 2023 I just looked up his career - it's quite remarkable really. Very Mahrez like. He's only played just over 50 games in the French top flight. Before that was playing fifth tier with Strasbourg B and they didn't call him to their first team. Half of a season in third tier got him his move to Angers. People kinda of forgot that Angers are bottom of the league with 8 points from 19 games.

The players we are being linked to are promising though which shows Glover is doing his job, now over to Rudkin to do his and then Brendan do his.

Aleksz Posted 27 January 2023 Share Posted 27 January 2023 Absolutely flabbergasted he’s ended up going for 10m. What a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCCFox96 Posted 27 January 2023 Share Posted 27 January 2023 That feels like a more logical career step for the boy. If he can hit the same heights at Marseille that he did for Morocco at the World Cup then he’s really in business for getting a major move.

dbtcity Posted 27 January 2023 Share Posted 27 January 2023 Wow €10m is an absolute bargain! Would’ve loved to see us in the mix for in and around that amount especially with Youri and Papy off at the end of the season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzFOX Posted 27 January 2023 Share Posted 27 January 2023 Well I'm just confused now lol. So it wasn't about the money then after all? Bet Leeds are feeling stumped by this too. Good player though would have liked him at Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
