[NOT HAPPENING] Rachid Ghezzal

Apparently having a medical at Leicester today.

 

Like for like Mahrez replacement (right down to nationality and eyebrows), so makes perfect sense for them.

We don't need him anyway. Deulofeu, Sema, Pereyra, Success and even potentially Penaranda is more than enough for the wide positions. Just get us a damn striker and centre back.

 

Ah careful, you're sounding aggressive again Nath

 

Are you constipated? You might need to drink more in the hot weather.

 

Improvement.

Much closer to the camera & a lovely holiday vibe.

Seychelles?

However, however, the rosette/midriff combo is a forum classic.

 

Signing for Leicester City for £13.3m on a 4-year deal, to be confirmed on Sunday.
No news expected on Saturday so everyone must be on a works outing tomorrow I guess. Shoes and socks off, trousers rolled up and into the sea for a paddle before sand gets in your ice-cream.

Anyway, French football journalists don't have too many good words about his personality.

"Deal to be made official on Sunday - a huge gamble, masqueraded as a quality player at Lyon, flopped at Monaco, more Hatem Ben Arfa in his mentality than Riyad Mahrez - expect Leicester to sign another in this position."

"I wouldn't use the word solid. He is very hot & cold. If I was a Leicester fan, I don't think I would be particularly optimistic."

"I would exercise cautious optimism. If Claude Puel can get his arm around him, massage his ego, we know he has got it in him."

 

A good deal for them I feel. Only £13m, which in this market is fine. If they are expecting him to have a Mahrez like impact then they will be sorely disappointed, but if he comes in a grabs a hatful of assists and a few goals it will be worth it.
