Confirmed Transfer Ahmed Musa

So much pace in the team, thank **** we have a proper manager who can use it.

Musa can play either side of a front three too which how I imagine we'll line up the Dillyding Champions League man.

And that Russian Linesmen are absolutely dreadful.

Saw one Russian lino who was very good last night in the Boys of 66 programme on Sky. Interesting too, including Gordon and Hursty etc talking about that World Cup campaign, including the fact that the Argentina team wanted to take the England team on in more ways than the Football when they attacked the England dressing room after the game, whilst they were celebrating getting to the Semi Final.

Those questions really do read like a Football Manager interview. They need to add "God" as an answer though.

The deal sailed through after such a long wait....aye....

Well he seems nice a thoroughly decent human being.

As a militant atheist I personally never use the 'g-word' (no not even during sex! ...even if I'm taking part in it!!!), so it in-itself has zero meaning for me (as do the rules of grammar)... however given this website is Nigeria based, and if this lad feels he is 'fated' to be with us, and he can transfer that 'belief' to his efforts on the pitch then I'll be prepared to grant him the odd delusion for a bucketful of goals. Basically as I read it he's happy to be at Leicester, and confident he can replicate his form with us... but without the arrogance and bravado of a 'high-profile' signing who thinks he can just walk into the prem and be a 'god'! ...and he's already indicated that he's got a semi at the though of playing with Vardy!

As londonfox said he seems a nice bloke, with a nice attitude... but if he don't deliver I'll be blaming his 'god'!

Holy Mother of Allah, My God that was a great post!

What if our opponents have players who worship the same god, and they pray a bit harder than Musa?
That would be 100% Musa's fault. We should make him stay behind after training for extra prayers.

Why does being Nigerian make a difference as to whether you accept his religious views?

He didn't say that.

He said the website is Nigeria based. Presumably Musa was answering the questions for a Nigerian audience.

Indeed. Had he been a pagan talking to the Daily Druid I would not have reacted differently. The main point being (after I accept that I need to get past my personal viewpoint that a god is a god and all part of the same delusion, don't even start me on the 'royals') is that this bloke seems to be fundamentally sincere in his approach to his ambitions and playing for Leicester City, and his desire to do his best for us!

I should've just echoed what londonfox said and left it at that but the hierarchical propaganda just gets right up my ecclesiastical nose. It's the football I'm interested in.

Matt_B · Jul 23, 2016

To be clear, I had no issue with the questions or answers beyond the fact that I found it funny that the questions looked almost word for word the same as the ones you get to ask when you sign a player on FM.

Interesting stats on all our new first team signings

Motown Fox · Jul 27, 2016

At least Musa will not be heading for Brazil shortly.

I see Nigeria have called up John Mikel Obi for the Olympics. Still I imagine he won't get a lot of game time at Chelsea and as they have Kanté (choking sound) could probably spare him for the short duration of the Games.

Brown Nose · Mar 24, 2017

Some evidence that he's a delicate little flower:

http://fcnaija.com/confirmed-musa-steps-down-as-eagles-vice-captain-see-why

Musa was however made the vice-captain to Mikel, but his form for Nigeria has been dwindling ever since he came into the captaincy role for the Eagles, and sources close to the player have informed that he felt the armband was putting ‘too much pressure’ on him.
