StriderHiryu Posted 1 January 2023 Share Posted 1 January 2023 (edited) Agree with the sentiment of this thread that this is the player we should go out and sign. He could play either of Maddison's or Tielemans role, even if playing deeper is better suited for him. Only thing to watch out for is that he's quite light and I think that in some game he may struggle pretty badly in our league. Think of players like Barnes and Chilwell that had to do extensive gym work to build up their upper body strength and how it improved them over time. He makes a lot of tackles and interceptions for his size, but we've all seen technical players getting bullied of the ball badly in this league, case in point a certain Adrien Silva. But despite that he's a really exciting propsect. The player he reminds me of is not Tielemans but Marco Veratti, and that is meant as a massive compliment.

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 1 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 1 January 2023 Picture the scene, you're watching QVC half pissed and there's some old trout on there trying to flaunt one of them multi purpose steam cleaners that not only clean all the muck off your floor but polish them and allow you to eat yer dinner off them. That's Enzo Le Fee. You can't believe your eyes, he's got tackles and interception stats that rival elite DCMs and then his creative stats are out of this world as well, he's some sort of French Harry Potter. Send the fcukin owls Rudkin and do the job. 3 1 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc sheff Posted 1 January 2023 Share Posted 1 January 2023 Yeah probably bullshit rumour but he’s the one to replace Maddison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably thought the same of Tielemans when he arrived. Whatever replacement he is, we need to get him in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the player has enough heart, their size means nothing. Muzzy was a skinny as a rake, but he never struggled. Nor did Mahrez. I think the mentality of the player is always something to take into consideration. It’s likely he has been small at every age, so probably has a lot of fight in him. I think he plays in this way looking at some of the footage of him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like he's just decided to not allow the clichéd stuff on his size and demeanour to dictate his career. He's kicked on big time and has adapted his game remarkably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispinLA in Texas Posted 1 January 2023 Share Posted 1 January 2023 Can see Newcastle going after him in the summer when his price doubles to around 40m or Chelsea or Liverpool getting him for 100m in 2years time. Liverpool were said to be watching him last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t see him as a January signing tbh Ric. He stated at the end of last season that he wanted to stay at Lorient for at least another season, that also led to a contract extension. He made the right decision because he’s kicked on tremendously, but of course this will mean more suitors come summer time. When summer does come around I just hope we don’t piss about, he should be on our radar and in all honesty, he should be number one priority.

tetly Posted 1 January 2023 Share Posted 1 January 2023 He looks very good. Would be delighted if we got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispinLA in Texas Posted 1 January 2023 Share Posted 1 January 2023 Hope this interest doesn't end up like the ones we had last year. Remember when we were the first ones linked to Botman last January and did nothing.....then Newcastle fancy him in the summer and get him..... he's been brilliant for them and a fans favourite. Also we were the first ones after Charles de Kerelaere and waited and didn't make a move and he went to Milan ( dunno if it's working out for him there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign him now and loan him back to Lorient until the summer when Tielemans / Maddison go. Anyway, he signed his last contract 2 years ago???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you know exactly how this transfer will go. We stay up, Youri goes. Le Fee signs for Newcastle.

baldeagle Posted 1 January 2023 Share Posted 1 January 2023 This guy sounds far too good and reasonably priced so we’re definitely not signing him 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJams Posted 1 January 2023 Share Posted 1 January 2023 Reckon it'll probably go the way of Madueke in terms of us thinking he'll be a great buy at a good price, but as soon as we inquire it shoots up the price to where we dawdle on the risk aspect. OR NOT, Signed for £10mill! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo could well be a like for like (backup) to maddison which we haven't had a long time although if he goes we have no dead ball specialists. I'm hoping he stays, these two would be fab playing together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Renard Posted 2 January 2023 Share Posted 2 January 2023 11 hours ago, taupe said: It does. Fée is féminine as a rule (la fée) but 'le fée' is a male fairy... which kinda makes it worse. Opposition fans field day, as I remarked in the other thread. His surname is Breton, so during the centralisation policy in France surnames got changed to suit the French language, hence a lot of Breton surnames start with the Le etc. The Fée part could have just been a homonym, and the Fée would have been something else in Breton, or a mistranslation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd play any of the central midfield roles in our system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
