Bilal El Khannouss joins - Official

[Lambert09]

His heads dropped the last few games. Doesn’t look the same player. He’s visibly knackered half the game and ruud is scared to take him off now after the boos 

[kingfox]

At his age he is bound to be inconsistent, he is still ticking along nicely though in certain aspects 

 

[Lesta Legend]

Like Facundo he’ll go on and half a superb career. He definitely has that magic touch and aura. 
 

Just hope this shambles hasn’t dampened his confidence.

I think at his age, if he wants to prove he can play at a top club, a season at the top end of the champions is just what he needs. 

 

Perform like kdh and a big club will come for him. Right now, he’d struggle to break into a top side and he can really go without another relegation fight. hopefully he gives us one more year

He wasn’t even getting the basics right last night, which is a concern…. Some of his passing was genuinely shocking…

 

Still really like him though !

[filbertway]

Guys gonna be the best Moroccan the champ has ever seen. Taarabt with legs.

Needs to go to save his own career. Don't let this place sink you.

Or he could get his finger out and start contributing.

2 goals and one assist doesn’t exactly scream “legend”

It’s a truth…. Ayew has better stats

 

an inconvenient truth

[frany104]

He’s quality, but still very raw. A season in the championship could do him wonders. 
 

still not sure he’s a number 10 tbh. I think he’s an 8. We could play alves in the 10.

[FrankieADZ]

even if we go down we should try and keep hold of him for a season, as said already a season in the championship will do him some good

Doubt we'd get our money back for him as things stand so think he will stay unless he or his agent try to force a move through. He's got promise but not shown enough for a big transfer yet.

thats true, if we can have a proper rebuild and i mean not the paper over the crack one from last season, then Bilal will be the heart of the team imo

[squidsworth]

Surely needs the championship to mature and the good news is he'll get that with us. 

2 goals and an assist is hardly magical in the prem but he has potential if he improves, and I think a drop in level is the perfect way to do that. 

Or maybe he's another that can't take the intensity of British football, and he'll be off abroad somewhere, where he might still flourish.

 

[Clever Fox]

He'll be a revelation when we get rid of most of the present team. He's trying a little too hard at times.

 

He needs to learn how to pass and move but that's hard as he's very often stranded alone with the Ball.

We can confirm that his deal does not include a relegation clause, and the Foxes would not be willing to sanction a cut-price exit having paid a sizeable fee to get him only last summer.

If someone does come in for El Khannouss, sources state that it could take as much as £40m to lure him from the King Power Stadium, even if Leicester are relegated.

The Foxes view El Khannouss as a key player for the present and the future and believe he has the quality to ensure they will be fighting for promotion from the Championship next season.

From the player’s side, he isn’t agitating for an exit but naturally he could be tempted by a Premier League club should the worst happen for Leicester.

You wouldn't blame any player wanting to get away from this s**tshow.

Does that apply to Coady too? Getting dropped for Wout Faes would get anyone pushing for a move 🤣

 

Seriously though, Bilal needs to start showing some form. Young player perhaps but his talent isn't being backed up by numbers in the last few weeks.

It would help if he had better players around him, he also spends so much time defending he hardly has time or energy to create.

He might benefit from a full season tearing it up in the Championship. He’s a raw diamond, but we rely on him too much and he’s by no means a finished article yet.

[scinnell]

I can't see any Premier League team paying anything close to the numbers that we would want. His attacking output does not justify a £40m price tag at this moment in time. 

[adamkhalifa]

I think he is too raw for a Premier league to pick up. Those crosses and through balls are awful. A season in Championship should be his way of establishing himself. 

[coolhandfox]

Would be one of the best players in the Championship.

[JJD_LCFC]

clearly a talented player with a lot of potential. Came into a complete basket case of a club. 
Teammates are shocking and really show an attitude that they do not care. 
the 1 good decision we have made this year. A season in the championship will be great for him and huge for us if we are to get promotion.

It’ll be the making of him. He needs to add goals, has the technique but not the movement and timing yet.

 

Should be targeting 12+ goals and 15+ assists. Fatawu also needs to add more goals - ideally our next manager actually helps develop players rather than constrains them with a system-over-everything approach.
