Yunus Akgün Officially Signs!

[StriderHiryu]

I think he had an overall good game. Yes he was super frustrating because he could have wrapped up the game on multiple occasions. But he got stuck in, he always made the runs, he affected the game positively overall. It was noticeable to me that everytime we put the ball into the box, he was the one attacking, whereas Praet was often nowhere to be seen. In extra time he looked totally knackered and yet still kept going, over and over again.

 

He lacks physicality and a bit of composure. But I've said all season long that for 7M, I think he represents good value in the market. Of the loan signings, Fatawu is the one we must make permanent. But out of Doyle and Yunus, personally I think Yunus is the better player. Doyle for me looks a bit of a liability defensively.

 

One more thing about Yunus, he has a great attitude. He wants to be here and does not think he is too good for Leicester. He is someone that will give it everything, and that is increasingly rare to see in modern football.

If he had stopped doing an impression of done bloke called Under. I would have been totally waxing about his performance. Just release it earlier fella. Once you've done the hard work. You don't need to do it again!!!

[teblin]

He’s got ability and is quicker than I realised. Final ball/finish all that was lack but he had a good game. As did they all.

[RowlattsFox]

I enjoy watching him, yes his end product was atrocious although I think he scores his first big chance if it was on his left foot. Plenty to like for me, but he has to show he can improve his finishing.

Yunus Duracell tonight!..

What an effort.

[Shane]

I know this is a yunus thread but Doyle for me is a central defender not a fullback, lack of pace is his issue.

He played well, just couldn't finish. 

 

I hope he's here next season.  We'll look back with regret if not.

I won’t be too bothered. He’s alright but that’s it I think.

If we don't take him on I think he'll do really really well abroad. I think he could be very good for us with time. It depends if we are looking to the future with him or not

I think he’d be fine in Italy at a mid table club like Bologna for instance.

Can’t see him doing much at Prem level.

Cant fault his effort though! Good to see he’s bothered about playing here. Soumare could learn a thing or two from him

I think you will find Bologna are currently competing for a Champions League place

Or not as the case may be. I think we’ll need better 

[SecretPro]

Still think he's great. Really good player, has potential to be brilliant. I'll die on this hill.

Fookin smart arse. This season yes. On average, mid table 

Ok, Udinese, Fiorentina, Torino…

😂

We'll have to agree to disagree, I think he has the potential.

Can't shoot like most of the squad.

Daka got it so same energy for yunus he was waistful as hell 

[goose2010]

His energy levels were great, you could tell he was shattered when he got through a few times. 

 

A bit more confidence and composure and he could be some player 

[honeybradger]

His footwork, passing and especially his movement are all good. For me he brings enough to the table to at least consider buying in the summer.

[Langston]

I think he’s tidy enough and has a great attitude. Definitely a debate to be had over whether or not he’d cut it should we go up but it’s just so refreshing to have players on the fringes (who aren’t even ours!) who look genuinely bothered about playing for us.
