Happy Fox Posted 10 July 2023 Share Posted 10 July 2023 He's a good player tbh, and I think he can make the step up to the premier league when we get there. But we do need another winger or two if Barnes does go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will pop up saying "always bottled a tackle" - i actually didn't mind him, useful set pieces and loved a long shot. It was just the first name that came to my head when i thought of bang average wingers that played for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 10 July 2023 Share Posted 10 July 2023 26 goals in 77 nineties in Ligue 1. He's got a year left on his deal so fro the right price this could be very shrewd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 10 July 2023 Share Posted 10 July 2023 Played more through the middle than out wide. Probably the sort of player who we want to play in a front two or play out wide if we change systems. £5m or less please, not worth a penny over that.

I'm always wary of a highlight video that consistently cuts off before the end product. Sure, he's fast, can beat a man and has a bit of skill but what matters is what he does with the ball when it counts and if its not showing us that, it's not showing us that for a reason.

When you're in the Championship, sometimes you have to take a punt and hope your scouts have unearthed a gem. Before he joined us, Mahrez had scored six goals in sixty league games for Nantes...

In fairness, Mahrez was younger, less travelled and less of a known quantity at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Havre. Where did I get Nantes from? 1 minute ago, Stadt said: Are you agreeing or disagreeing with my sentiment? Agreeing. It's one of those that could turn out to be an inspired bit of scouting. That doesn't necessarily mean it will, of course. 1 minute ago, Finnegan said: In fairness, Mahrez was younger, less travelled and less of a known quantity at the time. True - and Mahrez was a once-in-a-generation talent. I'm not suggesting Mavididi is close to Mahrez's level, but he might at the level we need this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just goals or even assist but succesful passes. Assists to assists, creating chances. I means nothing if a player beats 10 men, marches down the field doing keepy-ups whilst walking on his hands and blowing bubbles out his arse, if the very next thing he does is clears the stand with a shot or gives the ball away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluearmyfox28 Posted 10 July 2023 Share Posted 10 July 2023 He fits the trend of wingers we appear to be looking at. Fast, direct and skillful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He performed well at times! 13/14 season was very good albeit league 1. 36 games across the season with 22 goal involvements! We'd definitely take that right now.

Sankey93 Posted 10 July 2023 Share Posted 10 July 2023 We haven’t got any wingers once Barnes leaves! Well we will have Marc but if we can sell then sell. Stephy Mavididi Would be a decent addition by the looks of things. We will need 3/4 wingers at the club so I’m happy if we get this lad. English homegrown and we’ve got to remember we’re in the championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
