lapal_fan Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 He's annoying me now. I've been waiting for weeks for him to play shit so I can call him Anwar El Khazi... stupid good bugger. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I'm going to go against the grain here and say I don't think he's that good. He's been poor for large parts of the season and had a couple of decent games lately. I think there is potential, but he's very hit and miss. I wouldn't be busting a gut to sign him unless the price was very attractive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted April 29, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2019 I see it this way, he's to selfish and gives the ball away to often for my liking. He also abandons any defensive duties and against Leeds left Taylor to sort it out himself , that's before he got sent off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roonst83 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I agree he's a bit hit or miss for me. He has good games but he also has poor ones, too. He is often guilty of trying too much and will often do something fantastic but immediately follow it up by giving the ball away needlessly. But he has seemed to improve over the course of the season, and on his day he can be a real threat. We need him for the play offs, that's for sure and he's far better going forwards than Green or Adomah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddytheVillan Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Between McGinn, Grealish, Whelan and Hourihane we have the best midfield in the league. If we had a serious weakness (now the defence is sorted to an extent), it would be our wide attacking players. El Ghazi has been really good at times, but also goes missing and doesn't cover his full back. And he's still a far better option than Adomah or Green (although I do have hopes for Green long-term - could be my Villa-tinted specs). If he was available for 5mil or less, I'd probably take him.

StefanAVFC Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Wingers, are by nature, hit or miss though. There's 2 of them on opposite sides of the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Not particularly good yesterday but he wasn't alone in that, I'd sign him up in an instant for the right price, he's come on leaps and bounds this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 With Lille likely to receive £60-100m for Pepe in the summer perhaps we can get a cheeky bid in and sign him for even less than the touted £6m while they are giddy counting all that moolah?

Given it's still his first season I think he has got better with games unlike Adama who to this day still has little to no end product and look how much he got sold for.

Exactly, it's hard to see Traore ever changing/improving. El Ghazi has really started to put a shift in, I think we'd be nuts not to sign him personally, if we had the opportunity and if the price is right (anything less than £7m, in my opinion) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as AEG’s red card is rescinded I’ll be happy. Bamford got booked for his involvement in the fracas. So did Hourihane. If Bamford doesn’t receive further punishment, which was sort of separate from the fight, I can’t see how Hourihane would face it either. For all we know the ref booked Hourihane for the punch/dig to the ribs. If the offer was El Ghazi’s to be rescinded, Bamford and Hourihane to have a two and one game match ban respectively, then I’d take that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other bonus in keeping El Ghazi is we know what kind of attitude he has, which appears to be a good one considering how he has knuckled down after a pretty poor spell unlike Bolasie, and Smith must have an idea of his potential to improve. I really hope we can get to keep all our loan players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 IDK... I have way too many reservations about him. He isn't consistent enough at this level yet. Some games he dominates everything, but others he goes completely missing. Whenever we play a physical game where he gets muscled off the ball a lot, he struggles to have any kind of impact on the match. If we're in the Championship next season, I wouldn't mind signing him, but if we go up to the Premier League, we need someone not afraid of the physical side of the game in order to survive.

Mark_1989 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 No brainier to keep him if we can get the deal done - he’s the only decent winger we’ve got. He has shown he knows how to cross a ball unlike the filth which is produced on the other side. He has the ability to get the opposition defenders back peddling and isn’t afraid to beat his man down the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things are definitely improving lately and he has played a considerable part in that. Young lad, foreign country, different language, 2 different managers and the entire defence behind him has changed since xmas. Hardly his fault that some of this may have made it more difficult to settle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
