riyad mahrez - Who knows....

[Brooksy]

What is happening in here?

[Guest]

Pretty sure I said Le Havre and didn't mention individual players.

 

And why do you think Knocky wanted out of the second division in France - because the level is lower.

That QPR thug was playing for one of the top teams in the first division last season and they thought he was good.

[Dan]

don't get too exited about Le Havre - they don't play our level of football.

 

They played at a higher level than Guingamp did (who've had successive promotions I believe).

[Dan]

Nothing about giving him an Italian car then ?

 

'kinell.

Well knockaert isn't too bad and he was playing in the second tier of French football.

[little Brian]

it does have a certain element of feeder club about it , but to say french teams in their top flight couldnt survive in the championship

 

is utter boll******s

[little Brian]

How much French second division have you watched?

 

Even the first division has teams that couldn't stay up in the championship.

 

Don't think of the French national team and then equate them to French football. There is little cream in France the best are usually French speaking africans playing here until they can get out. 

 

utter crap

I think people are forgetting about Kermorgant, he came from ligue 2 and although it didn't work out here, he's actually doing well for Charlton, good target man

[pazzerfox]

Due to join in Jan - 2.5 year deal

 

Don't know much about him at all 

How do you know?

haha knew someone wouldn't be happy! To be fair did you see his free kick versus Brighton yesterday, brilliant

[kingfox]

Wash your fvcking mouth out.

 

Come on Steve, he's fookin decent.

 

Did you see his free kick at the weekend, Ronaldo-esque it was. 

 

EDIT. It's not the weekend is it, you fookin thick twat.

ickle bri

 

there are only 5 or 6 teams in ligue 1 that would be good enough to fight out promotion in the championship.

Defo went to the Knockaert school of retweets.

[Molson Canadian]

According to a news article I found that I can't link to this for some reason, its in French I think I've been able to pick out a transfer fee of around 400,000 euros and that there might be interest from Torino as well.

[Carl the Llama]

what does "Leicester fait une offre pour Mahrez" mean ?

Literally "Leicester make an offer for Mahrez".  Goes on to talk about us wanting him on a 3.5 year contract.  Interestingly, the one comment is a Le Havre fan despairing at the idea that they may lose a player with "real potential".  I've not seen any footage of the lad though so for me it's far too early to start dreaming of another Knockaert-esque revelation.

[Babylon]

Neither did Knockaert's team and he's the most naturally skilful player we've had in a decade if not more.

[Guest]

I keep saying I'm not judging or knocking the player. There are some great north African players over here. Just made a simple fact about the standard of league 2 (and a lot of league 1) teams.

[Stadt]

Knocky hadn't actually played Ligue 2 football had he? I thought he joined us when Guingamp got promoted to Ligue 2.

[Bert]

Vardy had only played at Conference level before we signed him. Look at him now.

Pearson and/or his staff are one of the best at spotting talent, mixing it with experienced heads and building a squad from it.

[AnotherShitSeason]

He knows how many times we've been over to France scouting in the past few weeks.

 

Let's hope they took a slightly longer look than when they went 'scouting' Bakayogo.   :xmasohmy:

Found this article but unfortunately I don't speak French:

Riyad Mahrez est un peintre et décorateur franco-algérien. Il vit avec une écureuil nommé bertrand qu'il considère comme son guide spirituel. Mahrez est un passionné de taxidermie et maintient une taupe en peluche dans sa poche toujours.
