Confirmed Transfer Rachid Ghezzal

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Of course he is. French Algerian, left footed right winger. Every pass, dribble and free kick will be compared and unless he comes up with 10 goals and 15 assists he will be branded by some as rubbish!

I missed the bit where you moved to AS playing pretty much all the time, played in the Champions League Oh! And represented you country in the Africa Cup. ..... Just Saying..... lol.....

Fair point !

I saw the video. Many years ago I played for a 'B' Side and occasionally got a game when the team couldn't muster 11 better players. If you put a 3 minute video of my exploits over 6 years (dodgy late tackles, goal line clearances, passes that almost led to goal, fetching drinks at half time and the one goal I actually scored) and padded it out with 45 seconds of an out of focus shot of my shirt, me wandering down a passage in a track suit and a close up of me blinking - I'd also look bloody brilliant - anyway - welcome !

I played in the FA Vase many years ago, away at Shepshed Dynamo (who were a couple of divisions above us). We won 3-2, with a late winner in a dramatic finish. The Merc had a really good picture of me, with a caption describing the last ditch tackle I was making, to prevent a certain goal by a lad I knew who scored a lot of goals for them.

In reality, I had got there just too late and he'd slotted it away, but hey, to the outside world it made me look good

Hopefully he can deliver at least half what Riyad did. I'd be relatively chuffed with that considering we got him for less than a quarter of the Mahrez fee. Hopefully players like Maddison, Iheanacho can chip in with the rest. It would be nice to see goals throughout the team rather than relying on Mahrez and Vardy virtually all the time....

Calling it now - he has a lovely smile.

No Shinji though is he?

I had better see 6 step-overs and a flip-flap in his first game or he can **** right off, the Mahrez wannabe.

The last time we had a player with two zeds in his surname turned out rather well. Hoping this montage isn't a more accurate reflection on his ability:

Yep, if he can't do this every game he's a complete failure.

Anybody know whether he is getting the 26 shirt?

I have to admit that I only worked it out when I actually said that out aloud to myself though!

 

[Micky]

I'm going to buck the trend here. I think he is a talented player and worth persevering with.
