Bilal El Khannouss - officially joined

[AKCJ]

Looking forward to seeing how the club **** this one up.

[frany104]

Looks like it’s done. 
 

never seen the lad play but it’s the sort of signing we used to make. Young player with potential. Develop them into a top player and sell for huge profit. That has to be the model. Hopefully he delivers and helps us stay up. 

[FrankieADZ]

now can we please get a forward in

[Lesta Legend]

Done deal

 

HERE WE GO

[Pita]

It’s going to take time for him to play in the premiership. 

[Bilo]

Who knew there wasn't a Dutch term for 'done deal?' 😂

100%. I imagine he will share minutes with Buonanotte. In fact the plan I imagine is that Facundo starts games with BEK coming on at 60 for the first half of the season, then maybe flip them around, as Buonanotte will go back to Brighton, whereas BEK is here for a few years. It's a tough league to just be thrown in, that's for sure.

 

Exciting signing for sure! Hopefully more of a Maddison or Fofana than a Daka or Soumare.

I'd not heard of him until last week but seems like an exciting signing. Gerr'im in!

I see a little silhouetto of a man,

El Khannouss El Khannouss,

Can you do the Fandango?!

Let’s hope he’s akin to a thunderbolt of lightning AND

very very frightening to the opposition 

[StanSP]

Still time for a hijack... 

[jayfox26]

Was just flicking through the game on live scores and this came up 

[dooflip]

Even if he turns out to be no more better than an average premier league player, it’s the most exciting transfer business we have done this window.

[ian__marshall]

Watch him fail the medical 😂

God we buy some shite why can’t we just buy a player where we no what we’re going to get. Be another flop this can see it coming a mile off.

Is this fella gonna actually start games for us? Its a lot of money if he isn't ready.

Agree with the thought process around this, but 25 mill is a lot of coin to bring someone on at 60 mins.. may have to gamble on this one and stick him in the deep end from the get go

Well our fans moan when we buy established Prem players like Decordova Reid and Ayew. Then again, our fans still moan when we buy lesser known prospects like Okoli and Bilal 

 

Ultimately, unless you're paying top prices it's always going to be a gamble. It's right to get a mix of profiles.

Cooper won’t play him ahead of Ndidi or the Brighton lad

Rudkin done a madness

Lol. I hope not considering facundo is just a loan. Be nice to see a couple of attacking bench options for a change!

[kingfox]

The Romano kiss of death.

 

I look forward to the Hoffenheim hijack.

Great, we actually need a few of them.

[Simonb]

I reckon he'll come good but he'll need half a season, maybe the full one to adjust so a bit of a risk considering we need to get points now.. but seems a risk worth taking 

 

Looks promising
