Confirmed Transfer Bilal El Khannouss

[popillius]

He's still not got with the pace of the PL, but I see a lot that I like in this player.

His balance, his vision, his desire to look forward all the time, and his technical ability, all impress me. He's technically a lot better than the man he was signed to replace (Dewsbury-Hall). Right now, if you could combine the two of them, we'd have a sensational player but we can only wait and see if El Khannouss adapts to the PL and becomes our next superstar.

I've seen enough to definitely want him in our starting line up every week.

Mental.

He's been ****ing useless for 95% of his time on the pitch.

This makes me even more confident about him.

 

[Micky]

He's instinctively ahead of the game. He's class but we need to see if he can adapt to the pace of the Premier league.

 

[H T B]

He was unlucky not to score against Saints

 

[popillius]

This makes me even more confident about him.

Just as you were about Silva. And Praet. And Iheanacho. And Daka. And Slimani. And Vardy being finished.

Yeah, I'll stick to what my eyes tell me thanks.

 

[popillius]

He's class.

No evidence. Literally none.

The overuse of these types of phrases is just daft.

 

[Miles Away]

I think he’ll be a decent player. Not sure if he will reach the dizzying heights of George Hirst, but we have to temper our expectations.

The Brighton lad is the one though. He’s ****ing brilliant.

Yep, and I can't see how you get them both in the team without making us more fragile than we currently are. ( Which is very ).

He's got something about him, whether he can be a success in our system and PL remains to be seen.

 

[H T B]

Doesn’t Alves play a similar role as well?

 

[popillius]

Well, almost everything I've seen from him so far suggests he's a dud.

I hope I'm wrong because we could really do with him being an actual football player.

He's definitely not so enjoy it when he proves you wrong.

 

[popillius]

He's definitely not so enjoy it when he proves you wrong.

Just like all those other hot prospects did....

 

[Micky]

This lad is going to be a top player...

That reverse pass that he hit to release McAteer was outstanding

 

[popillius]

This lad is going to be a top player...

Dangerous phrase.

 

[Micky]

Dangerous phrase.

I'm confident. The things that stands out for me are his touch and his ability to not only see but put the perfect weight on a pass. He also combines that with a high work rate and being prepared to put a tackle in.

 

[homer]

Dangerous phrase.

Question is whether he can be a top, top player

At which point we will be lucky to have him

****sake

 

[popillius]

****sake

It's going to be TB folklore, like Superscout's list, Joe_Fox's betting system, Boc's early onset, Vardy being finished or that complete **** who said we definitely wouldn't be relegated...

...can't remember who that handsome bastard was though.

 

[give_us_a_wave]

Dangerous phrase.

Always a fools errand trying to predict young players.

I remember some bloke near me during one of the early games for us of a certain M. Izzet saying to his mate how the club had gone to **** if the best we could do was signing Chelsea reserves. Especially lightweight kids who were "obviously never going to cut it at this level"

Hopefully the mate spent the next decade ripping the piss out of him for it.

We'll know a year from now probably. Or at least have some idea.

I was gonna say, “top, top.. lucky to have…” is CF’s own version of clodhopping oaf / Office Depot / Champions League is in the bag / where’s my passport. Love this place.
