TreeVillan Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 3 minutes ago, Made In Aston said: He was pretty good for ajax and in his first two years at lyon. Looks to have stagnated in the last couple of seasons and hasn't featured much. I know DS vets players for personality, desire and professionalism. If there were question marks, like some have posted here, then I'm sure we will give this guy a wide berth. P. S not to be confused with the sherwood facial. I'm sure he said something similar about Drinkwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Probs BS or Maybe Edouard/mysterious European based number 8 is ON ... This signing doesn’t quite make sense, especially when we need a new CB & poss CM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 SSN still running with the news of a £17m bid accepted and a medical in the next 48 hours. Let's hope for some clarity on this ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable Chimp Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Looking deeper into the stats last season, I suspect he's not as bad as people as some people are making him out to be. His defensive stats are better than Trez and El Ghazi's. Better assist rate and key passes rate than those 2 as well. The only part where he clearly lags behind the other two is goalscoring(which admittedly is a big issue) but he looks a better winger than Trez and El Ghazi in near every other aspect. A reason to be optimistic on the goalscoring front is that last season, it seems like it was a problem with finishing and it was only last season where it had fallen off a cliff. The couple of seasons prior, his goals scored had been higher than his expected goals, its really only last season where its dipped. Could be a confidence issue? I know the Lyon fans don't really like him all that much, but at least in terms of stats, his last season really isn't that bad. Both smarterscout and whoscored had decent ratings for him last season as well. In short, I'm cautiously optimistic on him and expect him to be above Trez and El Ghazi in the pecking order.

Sam-AVFC Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Wouldn't surprise me if he turned us down as it looks like he's on £60k/week plus and I very much doubt we'd match that for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DCJonah Posted September 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2020 Did anyone see trezeguet, el ghazi and jota most of last season. This guy is an upgrade. Trezeguet got some goals but even in those games he was poor. Our attack is going to be frightening, pace and skills all over it and watkins a natural finisher in the middle We will be a tremendous counter attack side 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at some of the dross we signed last summer as an example. The forums, the stats, the opposition fans, our own fans. Everything about this deal seems odd.
